Summer and ice cream go hand-in-hand. Afterall, there is nothing as refreshing as an ice-cold treat straight from the freezer. Unless that is, you get listeria from it. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just released a list of 13 ice cream brands that have been recalled for their potential to infect consumers with this bacterial infection with potentially deadly consequences. While no illnesses have been reported at this time, erring on the side of caution, the FDA recommends you toss the tubs and hit up the point of purchase for a refund. Be sure to check the complete recall list here for specific lots and plant codes to verify your product was — or wasn’t — included in the recall. Without further ado, here are the brands on the chopping block.

During this summer heat wave, all we can think about is an ice-cold dessert to cool us down. When it’s this hot, no one wants to turn on the oven—in fact, we barely want to go to the grocery store, because that requires extra time spent outside transporting our rapidly-thawing groceries into the house.

Meal prepping is a process that can save you valuable money and time when you're low on both. You can whip up a big batch of the same foods on one prep day, and then enjoy it the rest of the week. Rice can be a major part of many folks' prepared meals. But as it turns out, that might actually be a bad idea. If you're eating old rice, you may be at risk for food poisoning.

Andrea Yates, the Texas mom who drowned her five young children in 2001 while in the throes of postpartum psychosis, remains housed in a mental hospital — and if she gets her way, she’ll never be released. 

The Post has confirmed that Yates declined a hearing last month that would have determined whether she was competent to be released from the hospital. 

Under the terms of her conviction, Yates is eligible to undergo a review each year. She has repeatedly declined to be assessed.

Less than a week into summer, the Food and Drug Administration has announced a national recall of certain ice cream products.

One of the best parts of ordering a pizza — besides not having to cook — might actually be a second time in everything that's left over. But if you aren't careful, you could expose yourself to foodborne illness by either not properly storing leftovers or eating them too long after they were cooked. Perishable foods don't last forever, so next time you go to grab a slice of pizza from the fridge or that pizza box you left on the counter, check yourself to make sure it won't make you sick.

We're all about getting down to zero waste, and vacuum sealing food is just about the best way to keep excess groceries from going bad. The life of some foods will be extended for weeks, even months when vacuum sealed in plastic to remove air and placed in the fridge, freezer or pantry. But other foods don't react well to vacuum sealing and can even cause food to spoil more quickly or develop botulism and other harmful toxins.

7 Foods You Should Never Vacuum Seal, According to an Expert

On July 3rd, the FDA prohibited the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food and beverages. Typically, we see brominated vegetable oil in citrus-flavored drinks, mostly sodas. The good news is that all the big boy soda brands quit using it long ago, but a lot of off-brand and store-brand sodas still do.
