As far as food recalls go, this one involving SunTree Snack Foods is particularly alarming. A few days ago, the FDA published a notice warning consumers that certain brands of packaged cashews may contain glass shards. A customer allegedly found a piece of glass in a snack bag this month. The nuts recall was subsequently …
Nestle is recalling a whopping 14 tons of frozen DiGiorno Crispy Pan Crust pepperoni pizza due to a misbranding issue. According to an announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the product above doesn’t mention that it contains textured soy protein.

Earlier this week, the FDA announced a recall involving milk from Green Field Farms Dairy.

Earlier this week, the FDA announced that Pfizer was voluntarily recalling all lots of Chantix 0.5mg and 1mg tablets. The drug recall is due to the presence of N-nitroso-varenicline.

Typically, when we see a recall involving pets, it has something to do with food. Earlier this week, for example, we posted about a dog food recall due to the potential of Salmonella and Listeria contamination. A new recall involving PetSmart, however, is a bit different. This recall, oddly enough, involves a dog dinner bowl. …
It’s crazy, if not downright sad and disappointing, that we’re still grappling with the coronavirus this far into 2021. Like many people, I assumed that an ambitious vaccination effort — which saw the development of three effective vaccines — would have been enough to put the COVID-19 saga behind us. Alas, unfounded vaccine fears, along …
