People Don't Like Plastic In Their Sausages For Some Reason
LatestWhile it’s completely obnoxious to assume everyone can afford it, there is no bigger argument for seeking out farm-to-table sustenance than the recent spat of recalled foods. While the latest mass-produced recall snafu does not quite approximate the horror of the glass-sprinkled Lean Cuisines, it definitely stacks up to England’s “maybe we’ll put this horsemeat in here and nobody will notice!” problem.
After two consumer complaints, The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service denotes that a Virginia packing company called Smithfield has recalled around 38,000 lbs of their “Gwaltney mild pork sausage roll”—which, let’s face it, already sounds delicious, right? Right?—because they may contain small pieces of plastic. They think it’s probably from gloves, as if determining this would make absolutely anyone feel better.
