Walmart is Pulling This Popular Ice Cream from its Freezers — Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

For people living with sensitivities and allergies, food labels declaring ingredients that are the most common allergens—like shellfish, milk, tree nuts, wheat, soy, and more—are extremely helpful. For instance, over 6 million people in the U.S. are allergic to peanuts, according to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). Unfortunately, one type of ice cream sold at Walmart was just recalled because of labeling issues as it may contain undeclared peanuts and could cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.

The Chocolate Marshmallow Premium Ice Cream from Turkey Hill usually does not contain peanuts, but a consumer contacted the company after discovering their container contained what appeared to be the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream, the recall announcement posted by the FDA says.

The containers were sold in over 400 Walmart stores in six states including, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The recall notice says that only 385 of the 48-ounce containers of the affected ice cream have been purchased by consumers between April 14 and 19. Although Turkey Hill says all retail stores that received the product were instructed to remove it from grocery store floors immediately, some of these could still be in customers' freezers, since the sell-by date printed on the bottom of the package is 03/02/2023.

Peanut allergies have been on the rise in recent years—especially among children, according to the Cleveland Clinic—making it even more important for anyone who purchased this ice cream to check it for the error.

Symptoms experienced by someone with a peanut allergy who consumes the nut include difficulty breathing, hives or a skin rash, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, swelling in the tongue, lips, or throat, and even anaphylaxis, which makes it hard or impossible to breathe.

Unfortunately, this isn't the only food sold at Walmart that's been recently recalled. A certain type of vegetable sold in over 1,000 Walmart stores in 18 states was pulled from the produce section because it could be contaminated with Salmonella. Read all the must-know details here.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
