“More weight!” Notices for diseased ice cream, apples, walnuts and more keep piling up.

I am crushed by the weight so many food recalls lately.  It has been busy the past several weeks with so much public health work to do!  I am glad to be busy.  I’m really not complaining.  I’m just frustrated that there is a lot of important information that I haven’t been able to pass on from the FDA!  I have enjoyed having time to savor every recall announcement and even have fun with passing them along through this blog.  As I’ve been busy working on the road, I’ve been collecting them, but I have to face reality.  I just don’t have time right now to do these notices justice.  So, I’m going to try to catch up by listing the notices that have piled up since my last post.  Here they are.  Simply click on those that are of interest to you and you will be directed to the official FDA notice.

To try to keep up in the upcoming busy months, I am going to flip these notices immediately to my magazine, “Jeff Health & Environment” at Flipboard.com.  Make sure you “follow” my magazine to receive updates as they occur.  You can also find a link to it from my Resources page.  As time permits, I will highlight various announcements as I am especially intrigued, find humor, or am otherwise inspired.
