RECALL: Spicy marinated eggplant by Moabi Gourmet
Anyone who bought spicy marinated eggplant prepared and sold by Moabi Gourmet in Montreal is being warned not to consume it. (MAPAQ) Anyone who bought spicy marinated eggplant that was prepared and sold by Moabi Gourmet in Montreal is being warned not to consume it by Quebec's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ). 'It has not been prepared and packaged in a way that ensures its safety,' the ministry states. 'This product could promote the proliferation of Clostridium botulinum bacteria.' The items affected are spicy pickled eggplant (aubergine), 750 ml, sold until the end of December 2024. The ministry notes that the product has a long shelf life. 'The product was packaged in a glass jar with a metal lid,' MAPAQ notes. 'It was sold at room temperature. In addition to the product name, the label also includes the word 'ÉBÈNE.'' The recall has been issued as a precautionary measure. 'Anyone in possession of the product is advised not to consume it,' the agency adds. 'They should return it to the store where they bought it or throw it away.' Even if the product does not show any signs of spoilage, it could still encourage the proliferation of the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. 'When ingested, food contaminated with the toxin of this bacterium can cause the following symptoms: facial paralysis, unresponsive or fixed pupils, difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids, blurred vision and slurred speech,' MAPAQ warns. 'In severe cases, the disease can cause death.' No cases of illness associated with the consumption of the product have been reported. Anyone experiencing symptoms is advised to consult a health care professional.

Florida grower linked to back-to-back salmonella outbreaks tied to cucumbers
The Brief The FDA issued a recall last week after the contaminated cucumbers were linked to Bedner Growers in Boynton Beach. It's the same grower responsible for a similar outbreak last year that sickened more than 500 people. In last year's case, the FDA traced the cause of the outbreak to untreated canal water used to irrigate crops. The cause of this year's outbreak is still unclear. TAMPA, Fla. - Cucumbers grown in Florida are part of the latest salmonella outbreak. The FDA issued a recall last week after the contaminated cucumbers were linked to Bedner Growers in Boynton Beach, which is the same grower responsible for a similar outbreak last year that sickened more than 500 people. Big picture view "It's a pretty unusual occurrence to see an outbreak happening again and again within a year from the same company," food safety attorney Bill Marler said. RELATED: Cucumbers recalled after Salmonella sickens 26 in several states; 9 hospitalized Marler has three decades of experience representing hundreds of victims sickened by contaminated food. In last year's case, the FDA traced the cause of the outbreak to untreated canal water used to irrigate crops. The cause of this year's outbreak is still unclear. "This isn't the first cucumber outbreak that's occurred. They occur every couple of years, and they can be sometimes quite large and deadly. Usually they're linked to a water source where the water was contaminated by cattle feces or frogs or snakes," Marler said. By the numbers The latest map from the CDC shows that as of Monday night, 26 people in 15 states have been sickened by the outbreak, including four people in Florida. So far, nine people have been hospitalized. Follow FOX 13 on YouTube "The concerning thing is that, over the last few days, we've seen fairly significant recalls, which tells me there's a lot of this product in the market. So I think unfortunately the number of ill people is likely to go up," Marler said. Dig deeper Once consumed, it can take about 12 to 72 hours for salmonella symptoms to set in, like vomiting, diarrhea or dehydration. Antibiotics are one of the most effective treatments and while about 1.4 million Americans get salmonella every year, more than 99.5% of people survive it. "The FDA's website has a lot of really good information about the recalls that are happening. If it's taking you a little bit too long to figure it out, there's a good adage in the food safety space, it's when in doubt, throw it out," Marler said. FOX 13 reached out to Bedner Growers for comment and are still waiting to hear back. For more information on the latest outbreak, click here.

The Major Kraft Mac And Cheese Recall That Went International
The equivalent of roughly 19.5 million bowls of Kraft macaroni and cheese were recalled because the product was unsafe to eat back in 2015. Single boxes, as well as 3-, 4-, and 5-packs, of dried noodles and powdered cheese, unfortunately, also potentially contained stray pieces of metal. The unwanted addition ended up in the boxes of mac because of a machinery issue; it was found that two pieces of stainless steel were rubbing against each other in a piece of equipment, which caused metal fragments to fall into the food. This recall included a total of 6.5 million boxes across countries in South America and the Caribbean, such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and the Virgin Islands, as well as the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Obviously, accidentally ingesting metal could be very serious, and eight people did discover pieces in their boxes of mac. However, there were no reports of any injuries or illnesses related to the foreign object contamination. Read more: Discontinued Costco Grocery Products We Probably Won't Get Back As strange as it sounds, foreign objects — like the stray metal in the aforementioned boxes of Kraft mac and cheese — are among the most common reasons that foods are recalled. As such, this was not the only time Kraft had issues with inedible items in its products. There have actually been a number of Kraft Food recalls that affected millions, including one that had to do with a Kraft Singles choking hazard. Because of a packaging snafu in September 2023, the plastic film covering each piece of processed cheese failed to come off in one fell swoop in some cases. The strip of plastic that was left behind on the slices caused gagging and, in some cases, choking, but there were no reports of serious injuries or illnesses. You would think that the company would figure out a way to avoid this issue, but this has actually been a recurring recall. After the metal mac and cheese incident in March 2015, Kraft Singles were recalled for the very same plastic film issue in both July and September. When it came to food safety, 2015 wasn't a great year, both for the Kraft Company and lovers of processed American cheese products. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.

Popular gym snack recalled over ‘health risk' to coeliacs and customers with gluten intolerance
A popular gym snack has been axed from shelves over fears it could pose a risk to customers with coeliac disease. The 75g Myprotein cookie was recalled because it contained wheat (gluten) that was not mentioned on the product label, The Food Standards Agency said. Coeliac disease is a condition where the immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. This damages the gut so the body cannot properly take in nutrients, according to the NHS. 'THG Nutrition Limited is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall,' the FSA said. 'The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.' The watchdog urged customers to return the snack to the shop from where it was purchased for a full refund. |If you have bought the above product and have coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, do not eat it,' it added. In March, a major supermarket recalled a popular snack over fears a salmonella contamination could cause 'severe' diarrhoea and cramps. Lidl urged customers not to eat Sol & Mar Chicharricos BBQ Pork Scratchings and to return the 99p snack as quickly as possible. Salmonella symptoms include vomiting, stomach pains, headaches and a high temperature and can last up to three days, according to the NHS. 'Lidl is recalling this product due to the potential presence of Salmonella, which may cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms,' the supermarket said. 'If you have bought the above product, we advise you not to eat it. Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be given.'
