WHAT THE FUCK CAN I EAT?!

Jalapeños, lettuce, chicken, eggs, I know I'm missing a recent plant that started spreading something last month.

Frozen blueberries, rice....

Clorox scented diluted cleaning products also have bacteria in them, hence recalls...

...RICE?!

I knew about different levels of arsenic present in American-grown rice, especially brown rice, which is why I switched to Basmati and Jasmine rice. What else happened to rice?!

Rinsing the rice helps reduce arsenic levels.

The bleach was not recalled, only scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners and scented Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

Sorry, thanks for correcting me. I got too doomer and got lazy, but I should hold myself up to basic standards.

Yeah, Clorox produces these products, but the bleach itself is fine, it's just these two cleaners and only the ones sold in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Clorox is recalling about 6.3 million bottles of scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners and scented Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaners over concerns the products may be contaminated with dangerous bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall was announced Sept. 3 and covers products sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands at major retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club and Costco.

Just cook your chicken. This is why the safe cooking temperature is drilled into food workers, especially with poultry.

seems to be a bunch of them: radishes, mangoes, alfalfa sprouts.
