I need to know how E. Coli can survive being frozen. I thought for sure frozen stuff was safe.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

At this point companies all over the world are just sending bad batches of food to the USA.

If only it was possible to verify the quality of food before people eat it...

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Cook from scratch as much as possible and wash produce with specialized soap.

Why is it every time the repugnitcants dErEgUlAtE something everything goes to shit

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 hours ago

Frozen berries now, too?!?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 39 points 21 hours ago

GreenWise-brand organic blueberries on July 3, which later expanded on July 29 to include GreenWise frozen mixed berries

Sold at Publix.

Is there a list of stuff safe to eat?

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

Anything imported is safe, but then you'll be paying a tariff on it, sooooo.......

And don't forget your "ferments".

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The list keeps growing. My solution is to not eat a lot and wash my food and hands really well. I figure the less I eat the less chance I’ll get something.

Deregulation-induced anorexia? That's a new one for me.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Don’t write it off. It’s also good for my wallet and bloodwork.

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

It's all safe, until it is not.

Have Americans considered importing food so they don't have to risk eating American food?

[–] Procleus@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

More than 1/3 of America’s produce is imported.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 71 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do you even understand what you're asking? The lettuce was IMPORTED from Mexico via Taylor Farms. These berries may have as well.

The distributors hide their supply chain and claim it to be "industry secrets" to keep us from knowing where we get our food.

This shit is insane.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Who cares where the food comes from? It's a drop in quality control thanks to these businesses feeling emboldened by Trump's gutting of regulatory agencies that's the problem.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

It matters for the same reason knowing who sold it matters. If the farm in Mexico supplied multiple sources, then you can avoid it if you're aware. The degradation in quality and regulation is all the fault of the US government, and that is in turn the fault of Taylor for not holding their farms to higher standards...

[–] Zomg@piefed.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

I'm sure they know that, no country grows every crop sold at stores. It's the usual "le american bad" that's beat like a dead horse here lol

Usually rightfully so but man is it just getting a tad boring

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

America is bad but it’s all the complaining about things that humanity as a whole is bad for then pretending it’s America only that’s so damn annoying. They think they popped out of a golden non American vagina just for being on different soil. They can’t see the irony in the way they think.

[–] Zomg@piefed.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

True, too much America bad, mixed some (not all) with incognito ml users who glaze NK for example.

That's most of the problem, the diarrhea lettuce was coming from Mexico.

[–] SalmonTractor@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That being said, Farmer (possibly third-party, likely exclusively contracted to meet Taylor standards)->Processed by Taylor facility in Mexico->Taylor Fresh Foods->Taylor Farms->Grocery store.

The entire supply chain was Taylor the whole way regardless of what country and their "safety" checks failed.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

But several stages had US safety inspections in the past.

Taylor produces millions of pounds of food every season. Impossible to avoid contamination.

Sold in Publix locations across eight states, the affected products have been removed from shelves, according to the FDA, but have expiration dates into 2028, meaning they could still be in freezers.

"Customers who have purchased the following frozen GreenWise products are reminded not to consume them," the agency said in a July 30 notice.
