Palko points us to this news item, “Kroger Recall Update: Full List of Product Warnings Across 18 States.” My favorite:
Yummi Sushi, recalled October 28, 2025: Nashville, Knoxville, Georgia, and South Carolina stores. Possible contamination with metal fragments.
If you’d asked me why they were recalling sushi, “contamination with metal fragments” would not have been in my first hundred guesses. I guess the metal makes it yummier.
And my second favorite:
Face Rock Curds Vampire Slayer Garlic, recalled June 25, 2025: Affects Fred Meyer and QFC stores. Potential Listeria contamination.
I don’t see the problem. Listeria would slay a vampire too, no?
And this:
High Noon vodka Beach Variety, recalled July 28, 2025: Affects Kroger-owned stores located in Wisconsin, South Carolina and Virginia. Kroger says: “Specific lot codes of the product are being recalled due to variety packs may have cans labeled Celsius Energy Drink filled with seltzer alcohol.”
High noon, indeed.
Seems to just happens sometimes. I remember in my school another student had to have surgery because there was some metal part in his school lunch, and he swallowed it. And that school lunch was usually high quality, so I think it was probably coming from one of the suppliers. I guess if one of the machines in processing breaks down it could spill metal parts into the food?
