We're up to six deaths, now, from the listeria-laced food recalls. Dozens of hospitalizations, many more have gotten sick from it, but didn't know, because of similarity in symptoms.
Recalled foods listed in article. They are prepared pasta dishes from Trader Joes, Albertsons, Kroger, Giant Eagle, etc.

In the name of government efficiency #DOGE, travel planners & expense processors were laid off, forcing the international inspectors to coordinate their own access, flights, hotels, & reimburse themselves. Many took early retirement, leaving at least 1 in 5 missing.

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts

The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nation’s seafood and more than half its fresh fruit.

@GetMisch Just imagine how much this might happen if we didn’t have a viable FDA and CDC

@GetMisch Caution's always advisable when thinking about buying convenience food!
As a customer you generally don't know how careful such food was produced, shipped, cooled & stored before you'll see it at the grocery of your choice.

Good luck & stay safe!🍝

Preparing pasta is so easy that I really can't understand why people buys it precooked...
