hey for everyone talking about jury nullification etc etc: it only works if you lie and say you dont know what it is. if youre chosen for jury duty and they ask you if you know what it is, you say no. here's an article going more in depth, and here's the cgp grey video about it.

like. just so we're clear, it's good to know about, but if you go into a courtroom and start talking about nullification, you could very well have voided your place on that jury. be smart about it 👍

huge recall of contaminated cucumbers in the US and canada due to salmonella

november 28, 2024

this recall is going to get a little messy, because these cucumbers were sold both as sunfed brand and as generic, and many wound up in food service. despite the provided list of states and provinces, there is not a comprehensive list of all of where these cucumbers wound up. so it really sounds like a fuckload of cucumbers just got recalled.

Rio Rico, AZ (Nov. 27, 2024) - SunFed Produce, LLC (SunFed) is recalling all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard containers labeled with the “SunFed” label or in a generic white box or black plastic crate with a sticker that provides the implicated grower’s name, “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.,” (photos below). The recalled cucumbers were sold between October 12, 2024, thru November 26, 2024, and are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. Symptoms of salmonellosis usually start 6 hours to 6 days after infection and last 4 to 7 days.

The whole fresh American cucumbers were sold by SunFed and other importers and shipped to customers located in the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington & Wisconsin and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan, & Ontario. The cucumbers would have reached consumers through foodservice and retail outlets that may be located in states other than those listed above.

emphasis mine. these cucumbers are both branded and generic, sold to both retail and food service, in both the united states and canada, and potentially beyond the scope of the listed states and provinces. do not rely on the list of states and provinces to determine whether or not you are impacted by this recall or could have eaten contaminated cucumbers. I really wish there was some sort of unit given here for reference of how many cucumbers this is, because it really sounds like a lot.

SunFed initiated this recall after the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) notified SunFed that the cucumbers described above were associated with reported salmonellosis illnesses between October 12 – November 15, 2024. SunFed is also contacting each of its direct buyers to advise them of the recall. No other products sold by or farms supplying to SunFed are implicated in this recall.

an undisclosed number of people got sick from salmonella, the FDA investigated those illnesses and linked them together, and the illnesses were traced back to these cucumbers. the recall announcement does not list the number of illnesses, hospitalizations, or potential deaths that may have been attributed to salmonella contamination in these cucumbers.

the recall announcement is urging people not to eat, sell, distribute, serve, or use these cucumbers in any capacity (with no exception explicitly made if cooked thoroughly), and to sanitize anything the contaminated cucumbers may have come in contact with. the recall announcement also recommends that consumers call the place of purchase to confirm whether or not they purchased the affected cucumbers, which...um, might be possible in canada, but a lot of places in the united states are closed today. whoops!

check the recall announcement for some pictures showing how these cucumbers were packaged, what stickers were on them, and who to contact to find out more about this recall.

it can take up to a week for someone to become sick after salmonella exposure, and it can take up to a week for symptoms to subside. the recall announcement recommends contacting a healthcare provider if you think you may have become ill in association with this salmonella outbreak. there are medical tests that can be done to see if your illness is the same type as the salmonella in these cucumbers. as the announcement mentions, infections from salmonella can sometimes cause long-term illness and disability, so you really want to have as many records of your infection being linked to this outbreak as possible just in case there are long-term complications.

as a quick reminder, I, rune, do not post every recall. please consider staying informed about recalls from official government sources relevant to you.

and now, for a fun food fact. did you know some cucumbers explode? ecballium elaterium, also known as the exploding cucumber or squiring cucumber, can shoot its seeds 7-8 meters or 23-26 feet in an explosive example of rapid plant movement. and it looks very silly in slow motion!

stay safe and take care!

huge carrot recall affecting the united states and canada due to shiga toxin-producing e. coli

november 16, 2024

this recall may expand. see below for details.

Grimmway Farms has issued a recall of select organic whole carrots and organic baby carrots that should no longer be in grocery stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. These products may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) O121:H19. E. coli O121:H19 is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with a weakened immune system. Some infections can cause severe bloody diarrhea conditions, such as a hemolytic uremic syndrome, or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting. The incubation period for E. coli O121:H19 in humans can range from 24 hours to as much as ten days. The average incubation period is 3 to 4 days.

The following recalled products were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada: - Organic whole carrots, which do not have a best-if-used-by date printed on the bag, but were available for purchase at retail stores from August 14 through October 23, 2024, - Organic baby carrots with best-if-used-by-dates ranging from September 11 through November 12, 2024. The recalled carrots should not be available for purchase in stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.

formatting on tumblr is difficult, please see the FDA outbreak investigation page for the affected ranges of best-by dates for baby carrots, and pictures of the affected carrots.

as of time of posting, the main FDA recall page and the CDC investigation page have an error and do not list Kroger or LIDL baby carrots, while the FDA outbreak investigation page does. I am assuming that this means they are part of the recall and that this error will probably be fixed soon.

the recalled carrots are thought to be associated with an E. coli O121:H19 outbreak. 39 illnesses, 15 hospitalizations, and one death have been linked to this outbreak so far.

as always, these numbers are expected to be lower than the true number of illnesses and deaths, and will likely rise. not everyone seeks medical attention, and even when all testing and reporting procedures go as smoothly as possible, it can take weeks to officially link an illness to an outbreak.

noteworthy from the FDA investigation page:

FDA is working with the firm to determine the source of contamination and whether additional products are affected. This advisory will be updated as information becomes available.

in short, there is a possibility this contamination may affect more than just the recalled carrots. keep up to date with these pages to stay on top of this outbreak.

the recalled carrots are no longer on shelves. but if they are in your fridge or freezer, destroy or discard them and clean anything they may have touched.

do NOT eat these carrots! this strain of e. coli is dangerous and at least one person has died.

if you think you got sick in relation to this outbreak, please seek medical attention, even if just to get your illness officially associated with this outbreak.
