I wonder what people did before the internet when it comes to being notified of food recalls. I watch for them vigilantly. This is not the first time that we have personally been affected by a food safety recall. We have thrown away iceberg lettuce, frozen shrimp, romaine, ice cream, and now chicken tenders. We like Tyson's ready to eat chicken tenders for a quick lunch, thrown into the air fryer with a few French fries. I had just bought a bag last week. They will be going back to Kroger's tomorrow.

Another food recall in the news this morning. PF Chang is recalling some of their products due to milk not being included on the ingredients label.

The article lists three of the most recent food safety recalls, and it seems as though there are notices of products that are recalled by the manufacturers almost daily. Yep. We have had PF Changs frozen entrees in the past. Thankfully we don't have any in the freezer at the present time. Modern day logistics and transportation methods make it possible for a product such as the contaminated romaine to be picked in California yesterday and eaten by someone on the East coast tomorrow. Products such as the Tyson chicken can be distributed to stores, sold, and consumed almost overnight. Early detection of a problem and the ability to put the recall information out quickly is imperative in order to minimize the impact on consumers.

Food safety issues have always existed, but in the years before widespread home access to the internet, dissemination of recall information was slow and fairly narrow in scope. The average person may or may not have seen it in a local newspaper or on a local or network news broadcast, and it might have taken days for the information to be brought to the attention of the average consumer. People were stricken with food borne illnesses and in many cases it was simply attributed to having "eaten something that did not agree with them," with little further investigation as to cause.

Thankfully technology has advanced to a point that we are able to receive vital information almost instantaneously via the internet and our electronic devices. Thankfully those advances allow for merchants to receive the information quickly and are able to remove the product from shelves before it is more widely spread to consumers.

The first required a trip to the freezer. We buy those kinds of chicken products for the kids and the recall was massive. No problem though.

The second was no problem either. I don't think we have ever bought any P.F. Chang product.

I wonder if all the food recalls have anything to do with the govt. shutdown over Trump's vanity wall which resulted in thousands of food inspectors being laid off?

Thanks Trump!
