When people ask me why I bother to grow my own food, take the time to dehydrate or can it, purchase meat from a local farmer or butcher, articles such as this are the reason why.
246,000 pounds of frozen breakfast wraps recalled as they may contain small rocks
Rocks!
That's a new one! Makes me wonder how it was discovered and if someone had an astronomical dental bill because they bit down into this burrito for breakfast one day.
From salmonella in the country's romaine lettuce to E.coli in ground beef and burger to all the other heath concerns that are floating among big corporations, packaging warehouses and proper food storage before it reaches your grocery store or family's dinner plate; it is a SCARY food world out there!
Just for the month of June (2019) there have already been six recalls for food: from these breakfast burritos to Tyson Foods, Inc. Recalls Ready-To-Eat Chicken Fritter Products that had bits of plastic in the food.
THIS is crazy!
At least when I grow and preserve my own food, I know what it is on and what isn't.
Keep in mind, home canning has its flaws too. Under pressurized can cause botulism cracked jars can create a whole new turmoil, but when you are canning food for your family, you tend to take extra precautions with preparing it, being clean about it and making sure to follow guidelines for approved foods.
