It’s going to be fun when the trump administration kneecaps the FDA and deregulates the food industry. We will get far fewer warnings like this, and dear leader will tout that as evidence that the food supply is much safer.

The temptation to crosspost this there is palpable 😁
One day it's Listeria, the next it's Salmonella, and the next it's Bird Flu.
At this rate, whether you're a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore, everyone is at risk of eating basically anything. But it's okay, as the grocery prices rise, we gradually get used to eating less, so eventually we won't need to eat anything anyways...
The War on Obesity wins in unexpected ways.
No worries, in less than a month we won't need to worry about reading about so many FDA recalls anymore...
And stupid people in this country will see that as a win, as their neighbors die from preventable illness
At least these can all be dealt with by heating your food above 167F.
Prion diseases have entered the chat
Prions are nightmare fuel... There aren't many circumstances where I'd consider suicide, but being diagnosed with a prion might be one of them... Just have to make sure to keep the brain in tact so they could study that shit.
Oof..
You mean we gotta cook our bananas now?
Well shit, there goes my New Year's redneck dildos..
Happy New Year 🍌
A salad at >167*C is actually quite nice
Mmmm charcoal
At this rate all that's going to be left safe to eat is Doritos and Cool Whip.
It's pronounced Cool Whip.
You’re saying it weird. Why are you putting so much emphasis on the H?
Doritos uses onion, doesnt it?
Synthetic 'onion' essence created in a lab from petroleum products.

A lot of this contamination is due to the runoff from farms finding their way into fields. Lowering demand for meat would help considerably. I'm already avoiding meat at least once a week to do my part.
I’ve been living overseas for decades and this shit never happens in other countries. Why is this a constant problem in the States?
We have an FDA with less and less power and a culture of ruthless capitalism that thinks the baseline set by the government is still too high and needs to spend all effort cutting as many corners as possible to make the largest profit.
Unfortunately nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
First time I went to Germany in 2011 the whole duration there was a big E. Coli outbreak
Also can bet you haven’t spent time in china…
It was about a decade ago that Germany had a big problem. They blamed Spain. A bunch of Spanish produce sat in giant piles and rotted. The actual culprit was German spinach
Our government is in complete and utter shambles.
And Fuckface 45 isn't in office yet. Imagine how much worse it's gonna be! God damn I hope his life is forcibly extinguished soon!
This is nothing. Give it a couple months.
Days actually. Speaker of the House has to be in office before they can certify the election on the 6th. And the Crazies won't make that easy.
Big Foods are using contaminated fresh food to push people back to ultra processed food. /s
Oh ffs, not even veganism will save me anymore? Thought I was doin’ good avoiding all the diseased dead animal crap.
They've literally been dumping diseased animal's shit on veggies for such a long time. Every now and then we get E-coli breakouts in veggies that should be safe from shit.
Veganic agriculture is a thing, but very hard to find.
One more reason to grow your own food.
Listeria monocytogenes is commonly found in soil, stream water, sewage, plants, and food.[5] Listeria in soil can contaminate vegetables, and animals can be carriers. It has been found in uncooked meats, uncooked vegetables, fruits including cantaloupe[30] and apples,[31] pasteurized or unpasteurized milk and milk products, and processed foods. Pasteurization and sufficient cooking kill Listeria
