Summary
An E. coli outbreak linked to bagged organic carrots from Grimmway Farms has infected 39 people across 18 states, with 15 hospitalized and one death reported.
The recalled carrots, sold under brands like Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and 365, are no longer in stores, but the CDC urges consumers to check for and discard any remaining stock.
E. coli infections, which cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, can be life-threatening for vulnerable groups.
Recent outbreaks have also been tied to onions, lettuce, and walnuts.
So despite having heavy restrictions regarding taking foodstuffs on flights causing mass inconvenience, they don’t really do the simple work of sending random samples of packed stuff for lab testing? Meaning that buying stuff in a packet, while more expensive than buying from a street peddler in an unregulated country, is really not safer?
Ok
See, government regulations are just red tape and inefficiency. It’s much better if you have to constantly risk death for the sake of more corporate profits.
And when it’s so easy to just bribe the red tapist, why not just let them have a few pennies and in turn get millions in extra profits.
