Yah news to me…ohh lovely

Heavenly Spices has issued a nationwide recall of its Garlic Powder after the product was found to be potentially contaminated with Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause foodborne illness.

Is it just that brand? Or does it get repackaged with a million different generic labels?

Cause I've never heard of that one but I don't know if that means I'm safe...

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me neither. Quick internet search shows it limited to Canada stores…so not sure what the impact in the US is. Wonder if it is sold stateside as well.

The recall affects garlic powder sold in Dollarama stores across Canada and online

Oh huh, interesting. I wonder how it relates to the US health agency then, incompetent though they are...

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 2 points 1 day ago

Incompetent being the key word, they are likely “looking into it” and will issue an advisory in a couple weeks lol

Ahh it's in Canada. Thank you so much for the link!

[–] Prairie_Madness@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Sure! I use garlic powder a lot so I had to check 😅

Good to know.

Generally don't buy food from dollar stores, i think... nutso prices per unit.

I think it mostly appeals to the people who can't get to a larger market, don't have time, or can't buy larfer quantity, i guess. The usual poverty traps.

Avoid any US sourced food. It's all contaminated with shit.

[–] Prairie_Madness@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I would except I live here. So I avoid what I can
