Organic whole and baby carrots sold at grocery store chains such as Trader Joe's, Wegmans, Whole Foods and Target may have been contaminated with E. coli bacteria. Carrot producer Grimmway Farms says it is voluntarily recalling the vegetables after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that they may be associated with an E. coli outbreak, with 39 cases, 15 hospitalizations and one death reported across 18 states so far.
The carrots are no longer on store shelves, but Grimmway Farms warned consumers who may still have them in their refrigerators to throw them away. The company said whole carrots that were recalled were sold from Aug. 14 to Oct. 23, and recalled baby carrots had best-by dates ranging from Sept. 11 to Nov. 12, 2024.
And carrots aren't the only item where foodborne illness has been a concern in recent weeks.
McDonald's paused sales of its Quarter Pounder hamburgers in several states following an E. coli outbreak, with illnesses starting between Sept. 27 and Oct. 10, according to the CDC. The agency noted that an early review by the Food and Drug Administration suggested that slivered onions served on the burgers were a "likely source of contamination," prompting a recall from the onion supplier Taylor Farms "out of an abundance of caution." Other fast food chains, including Burger King, also stopped serving fresh onions.
On Oct. 18, the FDA announced that TreeHouse Foods was voluntarily recalling frozen waffle products due to potential listeria contamination.
In early October, BrucePac recalled 10 million pounds of meat due to listeria concerns. Products were supplied to stores like Target, Aldi and Publix.
On Oct. 11, Costco also issued a meat recall linked to listeria concerns, this time impacting products like frozen chicken pasta.
Costco issued a notice on Oct. 22 that it was voluntarily recalling packages of its Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon due to potential listeria contamination.
Foodborne illnesses are shockingly common in the United States. The CDC says that about 48 million people get sick from foodborne diseases every year. Here's a guide to these illnesses, from symptoms to treatment.
E. coli
What it is: A bacteria that lives in the intestines of people and animals, and is known as Escherichia coli, or E. coli. Though it is harmless while in the gut, ingesting certain types of E. coli — such as E. coli O157:H7 — can cause severe gastrointestinal issues, according to the Mayo Clinic. One way E. coli is spread is when feces contaminate food and water. Since animals can potentially carry pathogenic E. coli, touching animals, such as at a petting zoo, can potentially put you at risk.
What the symptoms are: Stomach issues include severe cramping, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Fever is also common. In extreme cases, E. coli may lead to a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease and neurologic problems, according to the FDA.
“If people develop bloody diarrhea or have a decline in urine output or are pale, they should seek medical attention,” says Shaw.
What experts need you to know: Consuming ground beef can potentially put you at a greater risk of E. coli exposure. “If you cook your steak, and you cook the outside, you’re usually safe from it,” says Parsonnet. “But if you make hamburgers, you’re taking the outside of the meat that’s been contaminated, and you're mixing it in the middle.” (The USDA recommends cooking ground beef to a safe minimum internal temperature of 160°F to destroy harmful bacteria.)
But it’s not just ground beef that’s linked to outbreaks. “A few years ago, there was an E. coli outbreak in apple juice because it was probably contaminated by feces,” says Parsonnet. Anything that’s contaminated with animal feces, such as produce grown in fields, has the potential to expose you to E. coli, she says.
Listeria
What it is: A disease-causing bacteria called listeria monocytogenes. It can survive and grow under refrigeration. The disease people develop after eating food contaminated with this bacteria is called listeriosis.
What the symptoms are: Mild symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, while symptoms for the more severe form of listeriosis include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

What experts need you to know: “Listeria has the unfortunate property to grow under refrigeration temperatures, which is uncommon for foodborne illness,” Dr. Albert Shaw tells Yahoo Life. Shaw is an infectious diseases specialist and professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine. Shaw added: “It can contaminate any food really, but we see outbreaks in raw fruits and vegetables, as well as improperly heated hot dogs and things like deli meats. Unpasteurized milk or soft cheeses, especially Brie and queso that are made with potentially unpasteurized ingredients, have been associated with outbreaks in the past.”
While listeriosis symptoms can typically be treated at home, Dr. Julie Parsonnet notes that the disease can be serious in certain individuals. Parsonnet is a professor of infectious diseases at Stanford University School of Medicine. “Pregnant women are at risk because the bacteria can get into the bloodstream and the placenta, and there’s a high risk of fetal loss due to the infection,” she tells Yahoo Life. “The elderly can also get listeria in their blood and their brain, causing meningitis. It’s not a common cause of disease, but among the foodborne illnesses, listeria is one of the more common causes of death.”
Salmonella
What it is: A group of bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness. It’s typically associated with meat and poultry as well as undercooked eggs, but dairy products, fruits and leafy greens can also be contaminated.
What the symptoms are: Gastrointestinal illness, which includes diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. More severe illnesses associated with salmonella include high fever, lethargy, a rash and blood in the urine or stool, according to the FDA.
What experts need you to know: In the U.S., poultry and eggs — as seen with this recent outbreak and recall — are the most common sources of salmonella, says Parsonnet. You can typically avoid the bacteria by cooking your food. It’s also important to avoid cross contamination while preparing food, making sure that raw ingredients don’t touch anything you will be consuming.
Shaw says that for those with a normal immune system, salmonella typically runs its course in two to three days. Though most people recover at home, Parsonnet says it’s possible to see “severe illness in people who are immunocompromised or have sickle cell anemia.”
Hepatitis A
What it is: A highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. Exposure typically happens when people come into close contact with an infected person, as well as through eating or drinking food or water contaminated with the virus.
What the symptoms are: Lethargy, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, joint pain and dark-colored urine are all common symptoms. Clay- or gray-colored stool, as well as intense itching and jaundiced skin, are signs that can distinguish a hepatitis A infection from other foodborne illnesses.
What experts need you to know: Hepatitis A is rare in the U.S., thanks to vaccinations, notes Parsonnet. Adults who get hepatitis A typically recover within one to two weeks, but it’s possible for the disease to become chronic, which can lead to liver failure and death.
Shaw says that hepatitis A “is usually foodborne, either from contamination in the fields or with a food handler who is preparing food without sufficient precautions. Transmission can come from someone going to the bathroom and not washing their hands sufficiently and then preparing food.”
Recent hepatitis A outbreaks have been linked to strawberries, as well as raw scallops, frozen tuna and conventional blackberries.
Norovirus
What it is: A highly contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea.
What the symptoms are: Norovirus causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. “It usually resolves within two to three days,” says Shaw. These symptoms typically last one to three days, according to the Mayo Clinic.
What experts need you to know: Typically, people become infected after coming into contact with the virus by consuming food or drink contaminated by another person with the virus, or by coming into contact with a surface or object with the virus and then touching their mouth.
According to the CDC, norovirus is responsible for about 50% of all outbreaks of food-related illness, most of which happen in food-service settings such as restaurants.
“This is the virus that's associated with outbreaks on cruise ships,” Shaw points out. “It is highly contagious because the dose that you need to become infected is really low.”
Parsonnet agrees, adding: “If you have it, you can easily give it to your family and to other people in the household” through being in close contact, such as sharing food or eating utensils. Most people recover without treatment, but symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting can cause severe dehydration.

How to recover from foodborne illnesses
The treatment for mild foodborne illness is typically rest and drinking plenty of fluids in order to avoid dehydration. In rare and severe cases, listeria and salmonella may be treated with antibiotics.
It’s also important to keep an eye on your symptoms, notes Parsonnet. A fever greater than 102°F, bloody diarrhea or diarrhea with mucus, bad abdominal cramps, weakness or confusion, and symptoms that don’t improve within 48 hours warrant reaching out to a health care provider.

This stuff happening is part of why I started planting my own summer garden a few years back, albeit just a small part. Also, when I've had to take down trees, I've replaced them with fruit trees so that we can eventually reap those healthier rewards as well.
These outbreaks should really serve to remind people of the fact that we are at the mercy of the food processing chain any time we buy food products, and to get people to invest in at least some home food production but, sadly, it mostly doesn't.

It's supposed to get down to 44 tonight here in North Houston ... I will keep windows open all night.
So, my friend and his girlfriend gave me a computer for my birthday that just passed. it's kind of funny because it's so tiny. It's only 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches. I had no idea what it was until he told me. I thought it was a port for Netflix or something.

We hooked it up and I've been using for a few days now. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed by it. It loads quickly, plays videos without streaming or hesitation. So far, I haven't had any issues with it, it's performing perfectly. I still can't get over how small it is though!!
Come to think of it, my ex-girlfriend used the same phrase when describing my dick "So far, I haven't had any issues with it, it's performing perfectly. I still can't get over how small it is though".

If you need sheets for your bed, this is a really good deal. I'm grabbing a couple of sets for myself. It's a good, high thread count, they're deep pockets (which I need for my 10 inch mattress) and they're really, really cheap. It's kind of strange that different colors for the same size beds are different prices though.

SunFed Produce has issued a voluntary recall for cucumbers distributed across 26 U.S. states and parts of Canada, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday.
The action was taken due to concerns that the cucumbers may be contaminated with salmonella, a harmful bacteria that can cause serious gastrointestinal illness, according to the FDA.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that 68 people in 19 states were reported to have gotten sick in connection with the salmonella outbreak. There have been no reports of deaths linked to the outbreak, the CDC said in a food safety alert.
According to the FDA, the Arizona-based company is recalling American cucumbers sold from Oct. 12 to Nov. 26 due to potential salmonella contamination.
In a press release, SunFed President Craig Slate stated, "As soon as we learned about this issue, we acted immediately to protect consumers. We are working closely with authorities and the ranch involved to determine the possible cause."
SunFed is currently pulling specific cucumbers from the shelves following FDA notification about their link to reported salmonellosis cases. The company is contacting its direct buyers regarding the recall and no other products from SunFed or its suppliers are affected, the FDA said.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can contaminate food when sanitary practices are not followed, especially if workers do not wash their hands. The CDC also reports that Salmonella can spread through contaminated water used for irrigating crops.
According to the CDC, individuals with salmonella infection may experience symptoms, including diarrea, fever and stomach cramps. Sometimes severe symptoms can develop, including high fever and blood in the urine. The infection may also spread to joints or the spinal fluid and brain.
Consumers who have purchased these cucumbers are advised to check their refrigerators and discard any affected products. Surfaces that have had contact with the recalled product should be cleaned and sanitized. If feeling unwell after eating a recalled product, they should seek medical help.
The recall aims to ensure public safety and prevent any potential health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated food.
More information about the specific states affected and guidance on what to do if you have these cucumbers can typically be found on the company's website or through food safety authorities.
"Here at SunFed, food safety and consumer health and wellness have been our priorities for more than 30 years," Slate said. "We require all of our growers to comply with the FDA food safety requirements strictly."
The recall affects the below states:

A North Carolina dog food company has recalled hundreds of bags of treats that could be contaminated with salmonella.
Carolina Prime Pet, Inc. recalled 400 16-ounce bags "Hollywood Feed Carolina Made Chicken Chips,” the company announced last week. This poses a risk to both the dogs who eat them and their owners.
No illnesses have been reported as of Thursday.
“Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products,” the company wrote in their recall notice.
Carolina Prime Pet, Inc. recalled 400 16-ounce bags “Hollywood Feed Carolina Made Chicken Chips” dog treats (Carolina Prime Pet, Inc.)
Owners who have fed their dogs the recalled treats should contact their veterinarian, the company said.
Salmonella in pets can cause lethargy, diarrhea, fever, decreased appetite, stomach pain and vomiting, the company said. Infected dogs can also transmit salmonella to other animals and humans.
Meanwhile, a salmonella infection in a person can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
In more serious cases, it can cause infections of arteries, heart inflammation, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
Symptoms can start up to six days after infection and last for up to a week, according to the Centers for Disease Control. People with diarrhea and a fever higher than 102°F, diarrhea for more than three days, bloody stools, prolonged vomiting and signs of dehydration should call their doctor, the CDC said.
Stores in nineteen states sold these treats: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The treats were also available via their online store.
The potentially contaminated treats, which come in a purple bag, have the lot number 20051324L2 and an expiration date of November 23, 2025.

Carolina Prime Pet, Inc. recalled 400 16-ounce bags “Hollywood Feed Carolina Made Chicken Chips” dog treats (Carolina Prime Pet, Inc.)
Owners who have fed their dogs the recalled treats should contact their veterinarian, the company said.
Salmonella in pets can cause lethargy, diarrhea, fever, decreased appetite, stomach pain and vomiting, the company said. Infected dogs can also transmit salmonella to other animals and humans.
Meanwhile, a salmonella infection in a person can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
In more serious cases, it can cause infections of arteries, heart inflammation, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
Symptoms can start up to six days after infection and last for up to a week, according to the Centers for Disease Control. People with diarrhea and a fever higher than 102°F, diarrhea for more than three days, bloody stools, prolonged vomiting and signs of dehydration should call their doctor, the CDC said.
Stores in nineteen states sold these treats: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The treats were also available via their online store.
The potentially contaminated treats, which come in a purple bag, have the lot number 20051324L2 and an expiration date of November 23, 2025.

I think retrievers have some kind of natural immunity. Mine (part Golden, plus a mix of other breeds) ate an entire Lifesavers Storybook, a bag of Hershey's Kisses, and a paperback novel one night while we were out. No ill effects at all, but his guilty look was priceless.
Fandango at home is having a pretty good sale on movie bundles. The 4 John Wick movies are $20.00 to own, etc...
