At least 43 people in the U.S. and 19 in Canada have been infected with an outbreak strain of salmonella linked to cantaloupes, officials say.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warns people not to eat three recalled brands of cantaloupe: Malichita, Save on Foods and Urban Fare.
The recall applies to whole cantaloupes, as well as pre-cut chunks, fruit salads and platters containing the fruit.
Kissing snakes gives you salmonella? How? Why? I didn’t know that. I’ve never kissed a snake, so don’t worry, but hoggies have such kissable foreheads…..
It's wise to assume that all reptiles carry salmonella and act accordingly! There's no real danger as long as you're not a baby or elderly and you take common-sense precautions, like washing your hands after handling your reptile and not doing things like putting your reptile in your mouth
The next time some kid asks how I turned lesbain ace or genderfluid I'm gonna tell them my mom ate medium rare chicken while i way still in the womb and got salmonella
After 38 Quaker-branded granola and cereal products were recalled over salmonella exposure, a class-action lawsuit has been filed in Canada.
On Friday, Vancouver-based Slater Vecchio LLP announced that it had filed the lawsuit in BC against The Quaker Oats Company and PepsiCo Canada ULC on behalf of anyone in Canada who purchased or claimed to have fallen ill from consuming the recalled Quaker products.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued the recall just a week before, on January 11.
(And guess which little shit just opened and consumed peanut butter from a jar with lot numbers between 1274425 – 2140425 after this article was published nine hours ago and only just now showed up on their news dash?)
(If I die in the next few weeks, this could very well be why.)
Edit: If you get salmonella from this, you need to do your best to remain hydrated. It causes severe diarrhea, so you need to make sure you constantly take in fluids. It's rare to need to be hospitalized for this and/or die.
From the article:
For many infected people, symptoms appear 12 to 72 hours after contact and often include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, according to the FDA. Most people who are infected recover within four to seven days and do not need any treatment.
And from the CDC's website: Symptoms usually begin 6 hours to 6 days after infection and last 4 to 7 days.
The more I learn about the USA food standards, the more I wonder how you all live to adulthood.
So in the UK we vaccinate our chickens for salmonella to the point if you have a healthy immune system, you can straight up eat raw eggs and you will be fine. We also don't pasteurise our eggs. Which actually makes them last longer.
So finding out that you can die from salmonella poisoning from lettuce, straight up had me Googling. Like WTF guys?? Like even whole lettuces when you've washed them!?? Like I didn't even know that was possible until today.
Like our chickens do have salmonella at a roughly 4% rate, and we are cautious about proper cooking, and cleaning surfaces. But even taking into account the difference in population size salmonella poisoning is a lot higher in the USA.
Pasteurised egg also has no flavour.
But food standards in the USA seems wild from a European standard. And my Norwegian friends tell me they have certain raw meats they can eat, and it's safe.
Could you explain salmonella pride to me? I’ve never heard that term before and I’m curious to learn more
you've never heard it before because I made it up and the post where I first talk about it in a context unrelated to tmnt only has 59 notes ☺️
it's intended to be a subgroup of rabies pride, the movement for trans autistics, just for more herptile individuals. like how genderfluid, bigender, demigirl can all be grouped under nonbinary and transgender
@lunarr-knows-no-bounds explained the nuance between the two terms very nicely
