You may want to think twice about those grab-and-go-food items.

Millions of pounds of ready-to-eat salads and premade food items including
entrees, burritos, wraps and pizzas at several big name retailers such as
Harris Teeter, Kroger, Whole Foods, 7-Eleven, Trader Joe's and Walmart
have been recalled due to the potential risk of listeria and salmonella
contamination.

The recalls stem from those issued by a dozen food manufacturers including
Bakkavor Foods, Envolve Foods and Ruiz Food Products. The food makers
notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture about products they shipped
that could include ingredients such as corn, diced onions and other
vegetables possibly tainted with bacteria – all provided from a single
company, McCain Foods, the USDA says.

The initial recalls, announced by the USDA on Oct. 17, involved relatively
small quantities, ranging from 217 pounds to 940 pounds of salads. Among
those products recalled last week were Whole Foods' santa fe style salad
with chicken, sold at stores in California; Trader Joe's labeled BBQ
flavored chicken salad, sold in several states; and Walmart's marketside
fiesta salad with steak, sold in some of its stores.

But some of the latest recalls involve far larger quantities of
ingredients including 795,261 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry
products such as Harris Teeter Deli-Bakery brand bacon, egg and cheese
burritos, and chicken sausage, egg white and cheese breakfast burritos.

Bakkavor Foods, which makes products for Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's,
has production facilities in Carson, California; Charlotte, North
Carolina; and Jessup, Pennsylvania. The products recalled could contain an
onion ingredient supplied by McCain Foods that may be contaminated with
salmonella and listeria monocytogenes, according to the USDA.

"These recalls demonstrate just how complex and interconnected our food
system is today. When you buy something from the store, it’s possible the
company that produced it was three companies ago," said Will Wallace,
senior food policy analyst for Consumers Union. "This is a big deal. It
could impact tens of thousands of people, if not more."

Distributed nationwide and produced between Sept. 27, 2017, and Oct. 15,
2018, most of Bakkavor's products for Harris Teeter have use by dates of
Oct. 24 and Oct. 25, according to the USDA. A 16-ounce Harris Teeter Deli-
Bakery brand BBQ style chicken artisan pizza has use by dates from Jan. 7,
2019, to April 11, 2019.

Bakkavor also recalled Trader Joe's carnitas with salsa verde burritos
over the same concerns. Those products had use by dates through Oct. 24.

As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due
to consumption of any of the recalled products, according to McCain Foods
and the USDA.

"McCain Foods recently identified a potential health risk related to its
fire roasted, caramelized or sautéed frozen vegetable and fruit products
produced at its Colton (California) facility," McCain Foods said in a
statement to USA TODAY on Friday when contacted about an initial five
voluntary recalls involving potentially tainted corn and a sixth for
possibly tainted caramelized mushrooms and fire-roasted tomatoes used in
products sold at Hy-Vee. The company, which has offices in Illinois and is
headquartered in Canada, said "as a result, we have made the decision to
voluntarily recall all products produced at this facility."

Other products involved in the nationwide recall:

Simple Truth and Cadence Gourmet entrees
Envolve Foods of Corona, California, told the USDA it was recalling about
292,764 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken and beef products including 22-
ounce bags of Simple Truth Chicken Bibimbap, Thai Style Green Curry and
Chicken Tikka Masala. Some of the products had use by/sell by dates
through April 12, 2019. The Cadence Gourmet-branded Steak Fajitas, Tuscan
Tomato Basil Chicken & Sausage and Rustic Toasted Tomato Basil Chicken &
Vegetables also had expiration dates into 2019.

The products were sold in more than two dozen states at stores including
Fred Meyer, Kroger and Ralphs. For complete lists, check the USDA's
current recalls site at www.fsis.usda.gov.

through 1/24/20.

Go-Go Taquitos
The snacks sold nationwide at 7-Eleven stores were recalled after Ruiz
Food Products of Denison, Texas, recalled about 2.5 million pounds of
ready-to-eat meat and poultry taquitos for possible risk of salmonella and
listeria, the USDA says. The recall involved Beef & Taco Cheese Taquitos,
Buffalo Style Cooked Glazed Chicken Taquitos and Chipotle Chicken
taquitos. All of the products, made between July 1 and Oct. 10, have been
taken off the market, Ruiz Food says. The company learned about the
problem Oct. 16 when it was notified diced onions used in the making of
their beef and cheese taquitos was being recalled by their supplier due to
bacteria risks.

7-Eleven had already recalled two different sizes (9.6-ounce and 11.2-
ounce) of its 7-Eleven Bistro Southwest Style Salad With Bacon, produced
on Oct. 13 by Prime Deli Corp., of Lewisville, Texas, also made with
potentially tainted corn from McCain Foods. The salads, with a best by
date of Oct. 16, were shipped to stores in Texas. The retailer learned
about the problem Oct. 14, the USDA said.

Jenny Craig chicken wraps
SK Food Group, with locations in Groveport, Ohio, and Reno, Nevada,
recalled about 174,207 pounds of Jenny Craig Chicken Wrap with BBQ Sauce,
produced from Oct. 15, 2017, to Oct. 15, 2018, because they contained
vegetables that might be contaminated with bacteria. The frozen, fully-
cooked wraps were shipped directly to consumers through catalog sales in
California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland,
Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Fresh Garden salads
Caito Foods of Indianapolis recalled about 1,532 pounds of ready-to-eat
chicken salads and food bowls made with corn that could be contaminated.
Recalls included 11.5-ounce and 8.75-ounce packages of Fresh Garden
Highway Santa Fe Style with Chicken salads with best if sold by dates of
Oct. 21. Among retailers that its various salads were shipped to included
Walgreens in Illinois and Target stores in Illinois and Minnesota.

Buddy’s Kitchen products
Buddy's Kitchen of Burnsville, Minnesota, told the USDA it recalled about
212,746 pounds of ready-to-eat pork and chicken products because they
could contain vegetables at risk for salmonella and listeria
contamination. The company said it contacted institutions that had been
shipped bulk cases of foods such as omelets with potatoes and sausage,
produced between Oct. 19, 2017, and Oct. 9, 2018. Its customers included
locations in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri
and New Jersey.

An estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year in the U.S., and about
260 die from it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000
hospitalizations and 450 deaths in the U.S. each year, the CDC estimates.
Most people infected develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps within
12 to 72 hours.

Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care
provider.

Overall, the recall involved more than two dozen retail chains and 13 food
companies supplied by McCain Foods.

"This goes all over the country," Consumers Union's Wallace said.
"Salmonella and listeria can really cause a lot of harm to people,
especially to the elderly, the very young and those who are sick."

Consumers should visit the recall sections of the Food & Drug
Administration website and the USDA website and check the complete list of
products recalled, he said. "And then, check your kitchen to make sure if
you have any of these foods you throw them out and not eat them."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

If California's agriculture is so insignficant, why does matter to anyone
outside of California?
