Since last week\u2019s post about growing container vegetables to ensure the safety of your salad, problems in the food supply have gone from bad to worse. The recent recall of 19.2 million eggs was upgraded to a highest-risk warning and Hampton Grocers, Inc. recalled its Lacnola Lactation Granola over possible salmonella contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"eggs\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

None of us want to endanger ourselves or our families. A few years ago, recalls didn\u2019t come at the fast and furious pace they do currently. Watching the news or reading the morning paper (remember those days?) seemed sufficient for staying on top of what we need to avoid. Now, it\u2019s easy for a new notification to blend into one you heard yesterday or slip through the cracks when you\u2019re muting a political ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to maintain the same level of safety, you may need to consider signing up for recall notifications. The FDA\u2019s notification service requires you to fill out this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/public.govdelivery.com\/accounts\/USFDA\/subscriber\/new<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional sources of information include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FDA Website www.fda.gov<\/a> has many levels of information on food, drug, and product recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDC website contains information on Current Foodborne Outbreaks. It lists active investigations by germ, has a table of outbreak notices with links to each individual notice, plus additional information. These can be found here https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/foodborne-outbreaks\/outbreaks\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a federal government website managed by the US Department of Health & Human Services called FoodSafety.gov https:\/\/www.foodsafety.gov\/recalls-and-outbreaks<\/a> This site contains safe internal food temperature and other information on food safety in addition to recalls and outbreaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods overseen by the USDA will have recalls posted on the Food Safety and Inspection Service website https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/recalls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some retailers publish recalls on their websites.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Walmart publishes food, drug, and product recalls here https:\/\/corporate.walmart.com\/recalls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costco posts recalls here https:\/\/www.costco.com\/f\/-\/recalls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target\u2019s recall page can be found here https:\/\/www.target.com\/help\/articles\/news-safety\/product-recalls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole Foods has a recall page https:\/\/www.wholefoodsmarket.com\/legal\/product-recalls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kroger lists recall alerts here https:\/\/www.kroger.com\/i\/recall-alerts<\/a> and here https:\/\/www.ralphs.com\/i\/recall-alerts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe\u2019s posts recalls under announcements https:\/\/www.traderjoes.com\/home\/announcements?category=store-openings&id=74537090<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Amazon list of announcements with links resides here https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/product-safety-alerts<\/a> and contains a link to take you to recalls of any products you\u2019ve purchased through Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the government sites and retailer sites aren\u2019t sufficient for your family, you may want to consider a paid notification service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subscription services that push recall notices to you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall Watch  https:\/\/getrecalls.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall Ping https:\/\/www.recallping.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RecallGuard https:\/\/recalledbrands.com\/#\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SecureRecalls https:\/\/www.securerecalls.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall Radar https:\/\/recallradar.company\/manage-subscription<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not used and cannot vouch for any of these services. Most of the paid services have a free trial or unpaid tier so you don\u2019t get locked into paying for a service that doesn\u2019t bring the information you were seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also get updates by following some of these sources on social media. For me, this isn\u2019t ideal because I primarily use BlueSky and some of the government sites do not post there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to stay safe and I prefer to do so without having to scramble around looking for information resources. Having these links readily accessible removes a lot of stress. We hope this list of resources will serve to reduce your stress as things go from bad to worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
