Dozens of people sick across several states in salmonella outbreak linked to recalled eggs
Hi. Yeah, food recalls are on the rise and it's getting hard to keep up. Experts say the most common reasons food gets taken off store shelves. Pretty good reasons. Listeria, salmonella, undeclared allergens and foreign materials. So how can you stay ahead of these recalls? It's pretty easy. There's *** free app. It's called food recalls and Alerts. It collects all the information from the FDA and the USDA. And also by the way, pet food recalls. I love that they include the pets in this. It's gonna send you real time alerts about new ones right to your phone. So you find out first there are also *** couple of websites you can use like food safety.gov and you just click on recalls there or head to this one right here. Recalls.gov and click on the food tab. Both will have lists of the recalled foods and tips on how to get your money back. If you have it in your kitchen. I'm gonna post all the links on how to sign up into all this on my website Rawson reports.com. We'll do this before you get sick back to you.
