Keep Up-To-Date on Recalls
The FDA has a new site, with a current listing of all known food recalls, market withdrawals and safety alerts. If you’re concerned about whether a specific product you’ve purchased is contaminated or unsafe, this is a great place to check.
The 5 pages (!) under the “Food” tab were quite enlightening. Currently, the majority of food product recalls are for potential bacterial contamination – which is rather scary. And that goes double, when multiple brand names are involved. For example, this recall for whey protein manufactured by Vitalabs, Inc. affects quite a few brands sold in both the US and overseas… not good.
At any rate, there’s some useful info there. It’s a good site to bookmark, IMHO.
