American supermarket chain Publix Super Markets Inc. is recalling two items in connection to a nationwide Listeria concern.

The two items are Wheatberry Salad and Publix Sweet and Salty Almond Bars. According to a company press release, the affected foods have been taken off of shelves. Publix PUSH 17.65% issued the voluntary recall on May 5 to inform customers who may have already purchased the items that they can return them to the store for a full refund.

The Wheatberry Salad was sold in plastic containers at Publix Delis in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. No illnesses have been reported in connection to either the salad or Almond Bars.

Both recalls are part of a broader, nationwide Listeria concern connected to sunflower seeds. In addition to the two Publix recalls, there have been about 100 packaged snacks affected as well. Fortune reported that most of them were made by TreeHouse Foods Inc., which is the same company that made the Almond Bars.

This is the second recall event for today! Yeah corporate food!

1. I need to use my glasses. I thought it said Pubix.

2. Kroger recalling broccoli and raisin salad, also for possible listeria,

at least in my neighborhood. (I don't know how wide the recall area is.)

A phone message was left on my phone message machine.
They had apparently tracked me by my receipt - the same way they track my other purchases and offer me coupons on certain products, and sometimes free items.

5. Apparently it is nationwide.

3. Costco has called and emailed us because some frozen veggies were recalled for listeria

We need less government meddling in our lives. I like gambling about the cleanliness of the foods I eat and all these government recalls take the gambling out of a simple meal.

4. You know, that is great that at least Costco

is telling people to return the nasty shit.

So, today we found that vegetables, fruits and seeds are contaminated and unfit for consumption. Next will come warnings about MadCow. Soon we will need to become breathairians.
