Two recalls to post:

 

"King Arthur Flour recalls some unbleached all-purpose flour for possible E. coli contamination"

I’m lucky if I remember the brand of flour in my canister, let alone the batch code. 🤬

For those in Western Canada, a recall on Save On Foods' corned beef for listeria:

I'm glad I got the ham.

A further update of the beef and veal/E.coli recall, naming specific stores, dates and products:

This current situation in Canada is quite alarming.  

[demiglace]

An endless list. I felt sick just reading it.

[chromedome]

One more. I can't keep track of whether this is a new one or an up date, but it's Butcher's Pride corned beef and pastrami. Right now it's Manitoba and points west, but possibly national.

Bear in mind, almost all of the recall notices I've posted over the past 7-10 days boil down to the same two recalls, one on chicken and one on beef and veal. It's bad, for sure, but easily avoidable for most of us.

I’ve read that Costco has rigorous food safety inspections. More than required by law. 

[chromedome]

More beef & veal, more E.coli:

I stepped outside and shook my fist towards Publix somewhere on the east coast for being late with this recall. I'm not sure they saw it.

Another update on the E.coli/beef and veal recall. The list of retailers now includes Walmart and Overwaitea.

The article wraps up with this quote

 

Despite the financial and reputational dangers, the food industry largely backs rigorous recalls as a means of sniffing out the “bad apples” who “affect the reputation of an entire sector,” said Charlebois. “Every single recall related to the livestock industry builds a case for vegetarianism.”

 

Seems somebody forgot the recall of the romaine and the spinach and the melons and so forth. Do those recalls make the case for becoming carnivorous?

 

Edited to add

Damn I missed the inadvertent pun in that quote!

"More than 6,000 pounds of frozen meat sold at Walmart is recalled for possible salmonella contamination"

Quote

More than 6,400 pounds of a Walmart brand's frozen meat have been recalled for possible salmonella contamination.

George's Prepared Foods, the company that produces Walmart's Great Value frozen, fully cooked meat, said that the products were meant to be disposed of after a small group of them tested positive for salmonella but were accidentally shipped nationwide.

The article shows the Walmart products mentioned in the article.

"Pride of Florida Recalls Beef Products due to Possible E. Coli O157:H7 Contamination"

Quote

Pride of Florida, a Raiford, Fla. establishment, is recalling approximately 64,797 pounds of raw beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The lengthy listing of recalled products are in the USDA article.
