Not really a recall but perhaps should be.  I stopped buying Asian shrimp a couple of years ago.

Chicken is as bad 

[Okanagancook]

Yes, poor chickens.  I usually avoid supermarket chicken.  We have some local suppliers for chicken.

We have room on our property for chickens but we are concerned about coyotes so we haven’t done anything about it, yet.

I did, too.  Between the pollution aspects and the child/slave labor prevalent in SE Asia, I just don't choose to buy it.

Man I don't know what bothers me more, the glass or the fact that a salted caramel "energy drink" exists at all.

[chromedome]

I believe it's a jacked-up coffee beverage.

 

Not that I'm partial to caramel-flavored coffee either, but it's a bit more broadly acceptable perhaps.

Ah OK that makes more sense, in my head it was salted caramel Red Bull.

Salmonella in some Lee brand teas. National recall.

If I am understanding this correctly, these products in question are dried tea leaves to be brewed with hot water, and not canned or bottled already brewed beverages?

 

That is quite unusual and scary, if that is indeed the case. It's one of the very last places one would expect to encounter salmonella bacteria.

[chromedome]

It seemed strange to me, too, but perhaps it shouldn't. Tea is basically leaves harvested by humans, just like lettuce and spinach (etc) and we've certainly seen plenty of recalls on those.

[Darienne]

However, I have read articles concerning contamination of the actual soil involved in these types of cases.  That is something to keep in mind also.
