Just when you thought it was safe to feed your pets again, Purina is recalling Alpo Prime Cuts in Gravy wet dog food, and Hills is recalling its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food.
Also, the FDA is saying that while it didn’t find any rat poison in the samples it tested, it did find melamine, [...]
A few years ago, we spent a long weekend at a “couples only” resort. The cabin had a huge bed, a steam shower, a hot tub, a nice kitchenette and satellite TV. Since all we have at home are bunny ears, we devoured hours and hours of cable TV while we relaxed in the hot [...]
These things really come in waves, don’t they?
Burger King announced that it will begin buy eggs and pork from suppliers who did not confine their animals in battery cages or sow stalls, and would favour slaughter facilities which used gas rather than electric shock to stun chickens prior to slaughter.
Now, while their goal (2% of [...]
(via Slashfood): Wolfgang Puck has decided to only use meat and egg products which have been grown under humane conditions. And yes, this means he will stop using fois gras.
While I’m hopeful that this will raise awareness about humanely-producted food, the pessimist in me thinks that it will end up as just a quicky footnote [...]
So, the Brannigans up our way disappeared.
We’re not sure when it went away, but it was in the last couple of weeks. One time we drive by, it’s a Brannigans. The next time we drive by, it’s a Longhorn Texas Steakhouse. My husband, a friend and I decided to pop by there for dinner. I’ve [...]
Coming on the heels of the Lilydale sliced turkey breast recall (the affected meat may have contained salmonella), Marcella’s Garden is recalling tubs of olives because they may have botulism.
Turkey and olives. Who cares, right? On to the real show: cat food!
Well, the source of the contamination has been found: the wheat used in [...]
I have a thing for sourdough, first of all. I love the taste, and the texture is just divine. There’s nothing I love more with a rich soup than a big chunk of sourdough bread alongside it.
But sourdough pretzels… Aah, there’s another love. And they’re damn hard to come by, for some reason. There [...]
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has released a study decrying the nutritional content and calories in Chinese restaurant food.
Maybe we just run in different circles, but I don’t know anyone whose line of thought goes: “We should eat out, but we need something healthy. I know - Chinese!” All you have to [...]
If you own a cat or a dog, you’ve probably already gone to your cupboard to check your food to see if they were part of the Menu Foods recall.
As the fallout expands, we’re now finding out that Menu Foods knew about the problem last month. They found out there was a problem, and when [...]
I wanted to try something new, and I’ve never tried brining before. Unfortunately, on the day I wanted to try this our intarweb was down and I couldn’t look up how to do it. So, I reached into the recesses of my memory and pulled this recipe out of nowhere.
My tastebuds kept telling me about [...]
