Dog-Food Recall Now Includes 18 Brands

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expanding a dog-food recall of certain products from multiple brands that may contain an unsafe level of a toxin called aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a byproduct of a type of mold (Aspergillus flavus) that can grow on grains commonly used in pet food, according to the FDA. When pets consume too much aflatoxin, it can cause sickness and, in some severe cases, longterm liver issues and/or death.

Pet-food manufacturer Sunshine Mills, Inc., first announced the voluntary recall on September 2 after the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (DAF) found elevated levels of aflatoxin in a bag of dog food during routine sample testing. (According to Sunshine Mills’ October 9 announcement, there have been no reports of sickness linked to recalled products yet.) The initial recall included 12 lots of six different dog-food products, from three different brands.

The Nobel prize committee sent the world a series of imperative messages last Friday when it announced that the United Nations’ World Food Programme (UN’s WFP) will be the recipient of the 2020 Nobel Peace prize.

The strongest message from the Nobel committee is that using starvation as a weapon of war is cruel, inhumane, and immoral; and they are telling us that starvation has been getting worse of late, not

Three Columbia-area gas station food stops you need to try | Food & Drink

Torri Donley 2 weeks ago

Gas station food gets a weird wrap. Images of warm, glowing hot dogs spinning on a conveyor belt and lines of slushie machines are the typical images. On the other side of the globe, though, gas station food is a culture unto itself. In Japan, 7-Elevens, Lawsons and Family Mart provide incredibly delicious foods, like tonkatsu chicken sandwiches and ramen, at classic convenience store prices.

Despite the negative reputation, there actually is a deep culture of gas station food in the South. From small towns to outer rims of the city, many kitchens are tucked back and hidden away from plain sight. A couple of years ago, I scoured stores around the city and found two places that I couldn’t imagine living without: Jimmy’s Mart (9900 Two Notch Rd.), with iconic hot dogs and one of the last places you can find a catfish stew, and Roy’s Grille (711 W

Farmers hope Lords will strengthen UK food safety standards

Torri Donley 2 weeks ago

Farmers and green campaigners are pinning their hopes on the House of Lords to make last-minute changes to the government’s agriculture bill to strengthen safeguards on food safety and animal welfare.

Amendments to the bill that would have secured clear legal status for the UK’s existing food and farming standards, which campaigners fear will be at risk in post-Brexit trade deals, were rejected in the House of Commons on Monday night, despite a rebellion from backbench Tory MPs.

Peers will now reconsider the legislation, and have the opportunity to beef up the role of a proposed trade and agriculture commission, which would scrutinise any deals and their impact on farming and food safety.

Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers’ Union, said: “The future of British food and farming is at stake. Without proper safeguards on future trade deals, we risk seeing

As Top Ramen Turns 50, Nissin Still Believes Food Can Bring End to Wars on Cheddar

Torri Donley 2 weeks ago

Nissin Foods is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its staple product, Top Ramen, and CEO Mike Price said the company’s founding principles of bringing peace by combating hunger remain true after all those decades.

“I think we believe this today,” Price told Cheddar. “If there was food readily available around the world, there would be no more wars.”

Top Ramen first hit shelves in Japan following World War II as the destructive aftermath left a strain on the country’s food supply. A parallel to today as food insecurity is on the rise globally, particularly amid the coronavirus pandemic. While other industries have been stifled by the pandemic, Nissin contends it has been at its most productive.

“We’ve had no disruptions on the manufacturing side at all, and the reality is demand is at the highest we’ve ever seen it here in the United States,” Price said.

Did someone say free food? Companies are getting creative with WFH perks

Torri Donley 2 weeks ago

Free food at the office used to make a stressful day better.

But with so many employees still working remotely, how can bosses show their appreciation?

I asked companies what they are doing to keep the office culture alive in a virtual world.

E-commerce checkout company Fast said it’s sending gift cards to employees for a weekly team meal, along with a weekly snack box.

Another company, UKG, which offered its working parents a virtual summer camp for their kids, is now offering after-school help this fall. It’s a win-win situation: kids are entertained, while parents get a break so they can be more productive at work.

And San Francisco-based Splunk is offering an extra 30 “pandemic days,” to give workers extra time to care for themselves and their family.

Solano County legalized home food popups. But chefs still can’t sell

Torri Donley 2 weeks ago

When Solano County approved a new California law that would legalize home-based kitchen operations in April, it seemed like Cheska Kistner’s plans to open a restaurant in her Benicia home would finally come to fruition. The measure, California’s AB626, allows for what are known as microenterprise food businesses, which Alameda County also made inroads toward legalizing yesterday. But no Bay Area county has yet fully implemented the 2018 law, leaving entrepreneurs like Kistner in limbo.
