A good reason not to buy meat from the big chain supermarkets 🤔

[fuck-customers]

The produce scale is not a jungle gym. Watch your damn children!!!

The printing one in the back is kinda fun though. Especially when you change the text on kale to "Mr. (manager) sucks ass". I did that when I worked produce and no one ratted me out so I didn't get into trouble.

And there was a seafood clerk that lost his band aid while he was mixing krab salad and a customer found it and returned it. So the store asshole changed the tag to "krab salad w/bandaid" I am not sure if he got written up for that but he should have.

U.S. people, if you bought cinnamon from Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or other discount stores, throw it out. It's got lead

Say Goodbye to Amoeba with the Best Natural Medicine

Amoeba is a tiny parasite that causes amoebic diseases. These infections can cause a wide range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramps. Amoebic diseases are typically transmitted through contaminated food or water sources, making them common in areas with poor sanitation.

Amoebic infections can cause a wide range of symptoms, from moderate to severe, depending on the individual and the severity of the infection. Initially, people may experience moderate diarrhea, which can progress to frequent loose stools containing blood and mucus. Common symptoms include abdominal pain and cramps, as well as fatigue, weight loss, and fever. In severe cases, complications such as liver abscesses may arise.

The growing concern regarding food / airborne contaminents

I was concerned that every timThee I open my internet browser that I see yet another food item recalled, there have been at least 5 today already. So I went to https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts and directly from their website you can download the recalls by year, so I did and I made a pivot table.. Anyone else concerned as hell at how we went from 4 in 2017 to…

"A 9th grader from Snellville, Georgia, has won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, after inventing a handheld device designed to detect pesticide residues on produce.

Sirish Subash set himself apart with his AI-based sensor to win the grand prize of $25,000 cash and the prestigious title of “America’s Top Young Scientist.”

Like most inventors, Sirish was intrigued with curiosity and a simple question. His mother always insisted that he wash the fruit before eating it, and the boy wondered if the preventative action actually did any good.

He learned that 70% of produce items contain pesticide residues that are linked to possible health problems like cancer and Alzheimer’s—and washing only removes part of the contamination.

“If we could detect them, we could avoid consuming them, and reduce the risk of those health issues.”

His device, called PestiSCAND, employs spectrophotometry, which involves measuring the light that is reflected off the surface of fruits and vegetables. In his experiments he tested over 12,000 samples of apples, spinach, strawberries, and tomatoes. Different materials reflect and absorb different wavelengths of light, and PestiSCAND can look for the specific wavelengths related to the pesticide residues.

After scanning the food, PestiSCAND uses an AI machine learning model to analyze the lightwaves to determine the presence of pesticides. With its sensor and processor, the prototype achieved a detection accuracy rate of greater than 85%, meeting the project’s objectives for effectiveness and speed.

Sirish plans to continue working on the prototype with a price-point goal of just $20 per device, and hopes to get it to market by the time he starts college." [Note: That's in 4 years.]

Jazz, holding a mushroom stake she made for damian as gift at gun point: any last words?

Ectocontaminated mushroom stake : you mere mortal can not kill me in a way that matters.

Jazz, cocking the gun: try me

----

Jazz: Here, I made this for you

Tiny damian vibrating with excitement because his favourite chef made more food: Give me!

Jazz raises an eyebrow:...

Damian stops stuffing his mouth: Thank you, Jazlyn.

Jazz, fist fighting a whole undead turkey: And always make sure to wear your gloves, we don't want a speck of ow dirt on it.

The turkey: * curses in turkey*

The chefs who's numbers are dwindling because Thalia hates that their food is not as delicious as the new cook's:

Ra's al ghoul forcing a blush down: *slowly takes a bit out of his food*

Ra's: ...

Ra's: DAMMIT Thalia the spaghetti is mine!

Thalia hiding in the walls:

Thalia ogling at the new chefs muscles:

Jazz stabbing a screaming octopus: Hi! Can I help you?

Thaila an assassin, who's sitting on the counter right infront of Jazz, shamelessly staring at her: You could take of your chef jacket. I know blood can be hard to clean.

Jazz breaking it's spine: Good idea!

How will the unfettered free market solve this one?

[onenicebugperday]

The amount of posts I’ve seen lately on r/whatsthisbug of fly eggs deposited on food that’s been left out is WILD. Please...please. Cover food that is left on the counter or wherever during fly season. ESPECIALLY at outdoor picnics. It only takes a couple minutes for a fly to lay a huge cluster of eggs onto food.

They look kinda like clusters of tiny rice:

sorry for being the town crier of food PSAs but I see a lot of breaking reports while I research for my job: as of April 9th, 2024 high levels of lead have been found in Lunchables kits, as well as other harmful contaminates

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a second recall for organic carrots due to concerns over potential E. coli contamination.

The most recent recall is for 365 Whole Foods Market organic carrots distributed in BC and Ontario.

Six different types of carrot products, including "baby" and "petite" varieties, are being recalled from the 365 brand.
