Deb_N's Journal, 04 February 2015

Hi, everyone! Hope you are well. I wanted to mention something so many times in the past, but neglected to put it in my journal. For anyone who has a food allergy (soy, milk, wheat, peanut, egg, sulfites, etc.) it is really important that you make your own meals and try to eat a whole foods diet. So many of the foods being sold today, what we would call prepackaged convenience foods, contain multiple ingredients and sometimes the company forgets to put an ingredient on the label. A lot of foods are recalled because the label was misbranded, leaving out an ingredient. I signed up to get an email update about recalled food and I get an email about a food recall every day. Check out the USA website FoodSafety.gov and click on the Recalls & Alerts tab at the top of the page to see recent recalls. Sometimes the food recall is a pet food or pet treat. Some food may be a health hazard because the food is contaminated or has caused illness. Not nice to think about, but please take care of yourself and your pets.
