A 20 year old woman turned herself in to police after she was nabbed urinating on potatoes in Walmart. She will be charged with “criminal mischief, open lewdness, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.” I think that is a bit too light on the charges.

This Week in Mislabeled Products for Week Ending August 3, 2019
Allergens in Sub-ingredients Missed on Label - Ruleau Brothers Inc. of Stephenson, MI, is recalling its 8 ounce containers of "Door County Whitefish Smoked Whitefish Pate" because they may contain undeclared allergens of Egg, Soy, and Anchovies. The recall was initiated after it was discovered during an FDA inspection conducted under contract by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development that the product’s labeling did not fully list all ingredients and sub-ingredients contained in the product. Some of these missing ingredients and sub-ingredients contained the allergens of Anchovy, Egg, and Soy.
Peanuts in the Chocolate Chip Cookies - JuJu Bakes, LLC, DBA The Cookie Dough Cafe of Bloomington, IL is recalling 15 cases of 1.6 ounce Chocolate Chip Chilled Gourmet Edible Cookie Dough Bars, because they may contain peanuts. Allergen issue was found after an employee tasted peanut butter in a bar labeled chocolate chip. The employee sampling the item did not have a peanut allergy and did not experience a reaction. Her observation led to the recall of Lot #19177. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes.

Report on Listeria Sampling in Produce at Retail
Consumer Reports conducted tests of leafy greens from supermarkets and found Listeria in 6 of 284 samples. Do you stop buying leafy greens - No, the risk is extremely low.
Listeria is a common environmental microorganism and while certain strains can be pathogenic if present in sufficient number and are exposed to high risk populations, there has not been outbreaks from fresh leafy greens eaten as such. In this report, really only one of the sample organisms was deemed as pathogenic, but the level of organism present would not likely to be sufficient to cause an issue.
That said, the produce industry has been working to ensure the risk is minimized through basic GMPs and sanitation. However, more work is needed to improve risk reduction of this organism in food operations including fresh produce. More research is needed to better understand this organism in food operations as well as in retail operations.

Color Additive Regulations Amended to Allow Use of Soy Leghemoglobin in Fake Burgers (Veggie Patties)
FDA agreed to amend the color additive regulations to allow "for the safe use of soy leghemoglobin as a color additive in ground beef analogue products". Soy leghemoglobin is the substance that gives the Impossible Burger its color and meat like flavor.
Leghemoglobin is a heme containing protein found in plants, Heme is an iron-containing molecule that is found in animals, such as in hemoglobin and myoglobin. This soy based heme is actually produced through the use of genetically modified yeast, so that it can produce via fermentation in large batches.
