CR - 10 Risky Recalled Foods

Consumer Reports lists the 10 Foods Linked to Serious Recalls and Outbreaks and provides an explanation why each ended up there. They also provide some practical handling procedures

1. Leafy Greens
2. Cheeses and Deli Meat
3. Ground Meat 
4. Onions
5. Turkey
6. Chicken
7. Papayas
8. Peaches
9. Cantaloupe
10. Flour

While we can argue about what should be in the Top Ten, the information provided in this report is okay. 

The danger of any list like this is that people will avoid products because it is on 'the list'.   Onions for example...one should not avoid using onions, but follow practical handling procedures.  On the avoidance of pre-cut fruit...certainly if you are extremely risk averse, you would want to avoid pre-but fruit, otherwise, the overall risk is small when purchasing from a reputable producer.

A much better write-up than done in the past by this organization.
