product recall

It was only a week or so back that I told you about the recall of 43 tons of meat that had been sold here in Illinois. Before that it was a recall on fish. Before that it was almonds. 2022 has had plenty of recalls, and we've still got almost 3 months left in the year.

Depending on your perspective, it's been quite a week for food product recalls. It's bad for the companies that have had to issue recall notices, but good for those of us who like to eat food without running a big risk of food poisoning.

I feel badly for companies when something in their production process goes awry and they're forced to issue a recall. It's even worse when it's a local company.
