Jif is our favorite brand.  Our jar was fine, but all of the jars we had stored at church for making lunches to take to homeless shelters were affected.  130 sandwiches were made and distributed on Saturday, May 21st.  By the time someone thought about it (there are 3 groups at our church who take turns on this project and it wasn't our groups turn), the trash had already gone, so we suspect, though can't be sure, that the PB used in those sandwiches were also from affected jars.  So far, no one has had any issues, but it is a real nightmare scenario.

Most will have very mild issues. A bit of stomach distress not worth noting. Some may have a 24 hour issue most call a 'bug'. Older generations call stomach issues and flu-like symptoms a 'bug' that should pass after a day or two. Intense symptoms should seek urgent care for dehydration. --puking water is a good sign to get help.

Not one of our usual food recalls, but the recall of several Abbott-brand infant formulas (cronobacter, salmonella) has been extended to Canada. I think most of us here are past that life stage, but y'know...friends, family, grandkids...

This is in the US, not Canada, but I hadn't seen anything on it until today. I don't know if anyone here subscribes to Daily Harvest (not a lot of meal-kit users, I think) but this is potentially life-threatening:

I saw that yesterday. Disturbing. Who the hell does not test taste a batch. Must be many consumers purchasing? I did not go deep but could not find the recipe. WTF. I have issues with whole fresh un-cooked diets. I think it is called the raw diet. No heat whatsoever. Freak out if something is toasted or heated. 

Lectin is toxic. Soaking or heat removes it. I recall wondering about falafel that uses just soaked garbanzos, but soaking overnight softens and removes lectin. Sure falafel is fried or roasted but the interior can be a bit toothy and raw-ish. 

All the recent re-calls on seed and spices I toast them always. 

This is when social media works--days/weeks ahead of FDA investigations.

King oyster mushrooms from TWA Fungi are being recalled for listeria. They're only known to have been sold in BC at this point, but may have been redistributed elsewhere.

Unbranded enoki mushrooms sold in BC and Manitoba have been recalled for listeria. This is an odd one because they haven't yet posted what channels it was sold through, so if you've bought any recently maybe just look at the picture.

This is not a food recall as such, but it's at least food-adjacent so I'm going to post it. If anyone here takes magnesium citrate for (ahem) digestive difficulties, be aware that the Equate brand (Walmart), Life brand (Shoppers) and Personelle brand (Jean Coutu) have been recalled for bacterial contamination.

I wonder if the bacteria might cause diarrhea?

How on earth does undeclared cashew get into this lasagne where it doesn't belong?

What I find interesting is there is no allergy statement at all on their label - Bechmel sauce, Parmesan cheese, pasta, tomato sauce and ground veal. I thought our labelling laws were a little stricter than that.

Not a "recall" per se, but rather a tightening of rules:

I wonder...from what percentage to what percentage???  How many illnesses and deaths are permissible per year?
