Hello to All My Readers! I Hope Today Will Treat You Kindly!

I don’t know if you’ve taken notice to the abundance of recalled food items that has been issued lately. I have and it’s been rather disturbing. Now, I understand that things happen, that’s life right? However, there have been more recalls by both the FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) which has jumped by 115 percent since 2018 as reviewed by Newsweek. The various products that have been affected range from chocolate, nuts, and whole cucumbers, to ground black pepper just to name a few. The government has made clear it's agenda for decreasing the population and with the decline in the quality of our foods, proves to me that they mean business. We are living in the year of 2024 and the majority of the foods we consume are Genetically Modified Organisms.

Yes, the government has deemed ‘science experiments’ provided by big corporate companies to be sufficient for the American populace to consume. Think about that. They really believe that it is more advantageous for humans to eat fake man-made ‘science projects’, than to eat the organic harvest provided by the farmers who til the earth from which we come. But, I digress. These are just my thoughts. What do you think?

Boar’s Head Provisions is recalling all of its liverwurst products on store shelves because it could contain listeria, the U.S. Food and Safety Inspection Service said Friday. The announcement comes as health officials investigate a listeria outbreak that has sickened a total of 34 people and caused two deaths in more than a dozen states.

Boar’s Head also said some of its deli meat products could contain listeria, a type of bacteria that can cause illness known as listeriosis. The Sarasota, Florida-based company said it is recalling a total of more than 103 tons of meat.

Safety regulators reportedly warned consumers who have purchased potentially affected Boar’s Head products not to eat them and urged retailers to pull the meat from stores.

The recalled liverwurst products were produced between June 11 and June 17, with a shelf life of 44 days. The products are for sale at retail delis nationwide, according to the recall notice.

Boar’s Head sells liverwurst in 3.5 pound loaves encased in plastic, as well as in other weights, and in sliced form. The liverwurst’s label reads, “Boar’s Head Strassburger Brand Liverwurst.” The liverwurst products under recall have sell-by dates that range from July 25 to Aug. 30.

The potentially tainted Boar’s Head products were reportedly discovered when the Maryland Department of Health collected a sample from an unopened liverwurst product at a store that tested positive for listeria and notified the Food and Safety Inspection Service. State health officials conducted the test in collaboration with the Baltimore City Health Department as part of a larger investigation into a listeria outbreak.

Mild symptoms of listeria often include fever, muscle aches, vomiting and diarrhea. It can cause serious infections in people who are pregnant or 65 and older, as well as those who have weakened immune systems, with symptoms including headaches, stiff neck, loss of balance, confusion and convulsions. Antibiotics are used to treat listeria.

Addressing the outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention edified the public earlier this month of the behaviors of this bacteria stating: “Listeria spreads easily among deli equipment, surfaces, hands and food. Refrigeration does not kill listeria, but reheating to a high enough temperature before eating will kill any germs that may be on these meats.”

Consumers with questions about the Boar’s Head recall are advised to contact the company’s customer service at (800) 352–6277. People with food safety questions can call the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s meat and poultry hotline at (888) 674–6854 or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov.
