Didn't the US defund any and all checks that would have prevented this?
listerias is a problem if your immunocompromised, or pregnant, usually its milder in healthy people. the reason why its so virulent amongs susceptible, because it can zoom around infected cells, using thier cytoskeleton, this allows it to spread from cell to cell very quickly, while most other infections require the cells bursting, or the bacteria exiting the cell.
Thank goodness we defunded food quality safety checks
To be fair, we've been defunding them for decades. Still the fault of Republicans
... Is poisonous food the only way that women will be able to get abortions under Trump?
They'll prosecute those women as well.
Well, obviously.
Began last July?!
I don’t really understand how “outbreak strains” are identified or tracked, but this if what the linked FDA paper in the article says:
FSIS and public health partners are investigating an outbreak of Lm that currently includes 17 ill people in 13 states. As of June 17, 2025, there have been three reported deaths and one fetal loss associated with this outbreak. The outbreak strain of Lm was isolated from ill people on dates ranging from August 2024 – May 2025. The same outbreak strain was isolated from a routine chicken fettuccine alfredo sample collected by FSIS in a FreshRealm establishment in March 2025. The lot of chicken fettuccine alfredo represented by this sample was held during sampling, destroyed, and never entered commerce. The subsequent investigations at the establishment that produced this product, and into the product ingredients, have not identified the source of contamination. FSIS also used purchase records from two ill people to trace purchased chicken fettuccine alfredo products to FreshRealm establishments. An additional two ill people verbally described chicken fettuccine alfredo products they purchased. FSIS identified products produced by FreshRealm that matched the descriptions during follow-up at the retail stores where they shopped. This investigation is ongoing. FSIS is sharing what is currently known regarding products associated with the outbreak as the agency continues to work with public health partners to identify whether a specific ingredient in the chicken fettucine alfredo may be the source of this strain of Lm.
Wow. Thank you much for pasting that over fartsy!
I bet they both lose a Michelin Star for this.
Sounds like a good time to buy a pasta maker attachment for my KitchenAid.
That's why I bake my flour before I use it.
I have a friend who buys his own wheat berries and grinds it into flour for bread. I don't know how much more work it would be to make pasta flour.
Probably safe, then, as long as the flour is never in a powdered form that can spread easily through the air and settle on surfaces.
Meh, that's what cooking is for.
Now, let's not devolve into mass lysteria.
Store bought is NOT fine.
