BURLINGTON, N.C. (AP) — A worker at a North Carolina pizza store has been fired after a customer complained a racial slur was written on her receipt.

News outlets report Myasia Nelson, who is black, says she and her family went to a Domino's Pizza store in Burlington on Monday, but when their order was posted, she saw a racial slur instead of her name.

Nelson says the manager spoke to the employee, who is white, who she said at first was laughing about it. She says she canceled the order and left.

District manager Junior Snyder confirmed Wednesday the employee was fired. Snyder says he apologized to Nelson, who declined a $50 gift card.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials have ordered a recall of ham products from a North Carolina company after investigators found listeria contamination which led to one death.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Wednesday the ready-to-eat hams were produced by Johnston County Hams of Smithfield between April 3, 2017 to Oct. 2, 2018 and shipped to distributors in Maryland, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina and Virginia.

The hams weigh between 7 and 8 pounds (3.1 kg and 3.6 kg) and carry establishment number "EST. M2646" inside the USDA inspection mark.

Department officials were notified last month that a person got sick after eating a Johnston County Hams product. An investigation confirmed four listeriosis cases, including one death, between July 8, 2017 and Aug. 11, 2018.

(Short article, no more at link.)

I was wondering if it had anything to do with the flood. I was sure I heard pig-raising areas were flooded, animals drowned, etc., etc., and I had visions of insane "Deliverance" people wading around in the water, grabbing drowned pigs and throwing them in a truck to sell! OMG. Help! Too bad the story's so short.

USDA is pretty worthless these days.
