  • Inconvenient Truth: Company involved in lead-contaminated apple sauce pouches. Look at all of the certifications on their website. Just because they claim its USDA Organic, Kosher, Food Safety Certified, etc…doesn’t mean it’s safe. #trustbust https://wanabana.com/

  • RECALL UPDATE: FDA has compiled a list of recalls being conducted by companies that received and used recalled cantaloupes to make or products containing pre-cut cantaloupes. This list will be updated as we receive notifications of new recalls. https://fda.gov/safety/major-product-recalls/2023-recalls-food-products-associated-cantaloupes-due-potential-risk-salmonella

  • I’m honored to be at @SCSTATE1896 with @SteveBenjamin46 to meet with local stakeholders and discuss efforts underway at @USDA that directly assist producers and rural South Carolina, several of which South Carolina State has lead a role in or is a key participant.
