🚨 Another Listeria Outbreak—Are You at Risk? 🚨 Frozen waffles are now the latest victim of Listeria, marking 8 recalls this month alone! From waffles to deli meats, the contamination crisis is growing, and food safety experts like Trevor Craig from Microbac are sounding the alarm. He told DailyMail.com that the growing complexity of food supply chains is contributing to these frequent recalls. With more processing steps, there’s a higher risk of contamination, and it’s a dangerous reality. The stakes are real. Michael Silberman, 86, was left partially paralyzed after eating contaminated turkey, and April Bonham shared the devastating loss of her unborn baby girl, linked to listeria. With recalls affecting everything from your breakfast to your sandwich, it's more important than ever to stay alert—especially for high-risk groups like pregnant women, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems.  Check your freezer, fridge, and updates to stay safe!

🚨 MASSIVE FOOD RECALL: Is Your Favorite Store Affected? 🚨 Heads up! The nationwide recall of nearly 12 million pounds of meat and poultry that hit schools in New York and New Jersey has grown and is hitting some of your favorite spots. We're talking about Costco, Trader Joe's, Target, and Walmart! 😱 The recall covers a range of products, including salads, burritos, and wraps, which may be contaminated with Listeria—a bacteria that’s especially dangerous for kids and anyone with a weakened immune system. Microbac’s Senior Technical Director, Trevor Craig, has called this outbreak a serious risk: “It can be very dangerous to anyone who gets it.” Big brands like Bell & Evans, Red’s, Fresh Express, Jenny Craig, and more are impacted. If you've shopped recently, it's time to take a close look at the USDA recall list. Find out if the products in your fridge are putting you at risk! ⚠️ What to do?
