HUGE Hamburger and Hot Dog bun recall
Flowers Foods is having a recall of their hamburger and hotdog buns, sold in various states under various brand names, due to unintentional plastic pieces in the buns. So far, there are no injuries that were reported, but it’s worth checking the list of recalled items to make sure you don’t have any of those products in your pantry.
Up to 20 years in prison for "Ice Cream Licking"
A teenager is facing 20 possible years in prison for the crime of licking some Blue Bell ice cream and putting it back into the freezer. What’s interesting is in 2015, Blue Bell ice cream was contaminated with listeria, and 10 people ended up in the hospital, but there is no mention of what happens when a company has a recall for something like that.
