Just FYI, over the Thanksgiving holiday Whole Foods announced a recall of several types of cheddar cheese sold in its stores, all packaged in clear plastic wrap and bearing a “Distributed by Whole Foods” label. These cheeses may be contaminated with E. coli:
- Sage Cheddar
- Silver Mountain Cheddar
- Chipotle Cheddar
- Premium Block Cheddar
- Premium White Chunk Cheddar
- Chipotle Chunk Cheddar
- White Black Wax Cheddar
I don’t post every recall notice on this blog, of course, but it’s conceivable that some TLT readers may have purchased these products and may be feeding them to their children. The FDA recall notice is here. More from NPR’s health blog here.
This seems like an excellent time to update you on the pending food safety bill in the Senate. According to Marion Nestle, the bill should be voted on today. Her comprehensive update, replete with related links, is here.
