Smucker recalls peanut butter sold in 24 states and D.C.
J.M. Smucker is recalling thousands of 16-ounce jars of its Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter Chunky because of possible salmonella contamination. The product was distributed in: Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The Ohio-based company says the jars covered in the recall would have been purchased in the last week or so. They have "Best if Used By" dates of Aug. 3, 2012, and Aug. 4, 2012, plus the production codes 1307004 and 1308004....Killer Cantaloupe, Scary Sprouts: What To Do?
(Associated Press) MILWAUKEE -- Avoid foreign produce. Wash and peel your fruit. Keep it refrigerated. None of these common tips would have guaranteed your safety from the deadliest food outbreak in a decade, the one involving cantaloupes from Colorado. Whether it's sprouts or spinach, turkey or hamburger; whether the government doubled, tripled or quadrupled inspections, the truth is that no food will ever be completely free of risk....Bacteria in Recalled Ground Turkey Is Resistant to Antibiotics
If you have ever woken up in the middle of the night panicked that you won't make it to the bathroom in time, or heard a scream from your child and sat with them shaking over a garbage can for hours on end, you know how brutal food poisoning can be. It is not something you want anyone, even your worst enemy, to ever to have to go through. Avoid it at all costs. Which makes it doubly maddening that the United States Department of Agriculture has been so irresponsibly slow in identifying the latest deadly antibiotic-resistant Salmonella outbreak, one that was first identified in MARCH. So far the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the nasty Salmonella Heidelberg strain has killed one person and infected nearly 80. Those are just the ones we know about. Who knows how many people or children it has really sickened?...USDA issues alert after 77 become ill from ground turkey
A public health alert has gone out from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture due to ground turkey from an unnamed producer that has been implicated in an estimated 77 illnesses in 26 states. USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the alert Friday night because of concerns about illnesses caused by a salmonella type called salmonella Heidelberg. ...FDA Panel Rejects Proposed Diabetes Drug Dapagliflozin
A federal advisory panel voted against a new type of diabetes drug being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) and AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) and said more information is needed to address certain safety concerns before the drug should be marketed. The panel voted 9 to 6 against a question that asked if the efficacy, or effectiveness, and safety data submitted by the companies in support of the drug, dapagliflozin, provided substantial evidence to support approval. The vote amounts to a recommendation that the FDA not approve the drug. ...Sprouts Recalled After Possible Link to 5-State Salmonella Outbreak
Evergreen Fresh Sprouts, which has been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 21 people in five states, recalled certain packages of its alfalfa sprouts and spicy sprouts on Friday because of the possibility the sprouts could be contaminated with salmonella....With no labeling, few realize they are eating genetically modified foods
When a team of activists wearing white hazmat suits showed up at a Chicago grocery store to protest the sale of genetically modified foods, they picked an unlikely target: Whole Foods Market. Organic foods, by definition, can't knowingly contain genetically modified organisms, known as GMOs. But genetically modified corn, soy and other crops have become such common ingredients in processed foods that even one of the nation's top organic food retailers says it hasn't been able to avoid stocking some products that contain them....- Radiation fallout from Japan affects food safety across North America
