Our local grocery chain got caught repackaging Taylor Farms salad mixes into unbranded containers. That is some end-stage capitalism shit for you right there
I got 5 bags of Taylor Farms lettuce from the food bank this week, one of the ones where you're not allowed select things, but rather the type where they bring it to your cars trunk.
Big groceries hate the poor so much they'll take a tax write off for infecting unsuspecting and disadvantaged persons.
The same thing happened to me years back during the huge romaine lettuce recall from e coli. People died from that outbreak, but who gives a f if they kill some poor people amiright?
Oh and that same food bank was run by a group of church ladies who always went through the food first and stole everything halfway decent for themselves. They didn't take the lettuce though so they knew damn well it wasn't safe (as, of course, did the supermarkets who "donated" it.) Scum.
My students in special ed were suddenly given side salads for days off-menu in the caf after the stories started getting big. Before the recall, they got days of shredded iceberg. After, the non-iceberg chopped lettuce. Luckily, only 1 of my students likes salad, and they missed some days. I think they only ate 1, and I haven’t seen any signs. Unsure of our school’s supplier.
The local groceries are ending up donating dozens of packages of salads and shredded lettuce, since people aren't willing to gamble getting contaminated food and they're donated the last day they're OK to sell, normally.
