salad-mix recall

[cellio]

Oh phooey -- we ate that yesterday, "possibly" exposing us to listeria monocytogenes (warning: I cringed while reading this). But kudos to Giant Eagle for calling and telling me; store affinity cards do bring privacy issues, but it's nice to know that the tracking of purchases can produce good outcomes too. Unless it were to make the news somewhat prominently, I might not have known otherwise. (Specifically, I might have heard "River Ranch" and not connected it to "Farmer's Market", the local branding.)

Tomorrow morning I'll ask what my doctor recommends.
