this recall may expand. see below for details.
Grimmway Farms has issued a recall of select organic whole carrots and organic baby carrots that should no longer be in grocery stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. These products may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) O121:H19. E. coli O121:H19 is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with a weakened immune system. Some infections can cause severe bloody diarrhea conditions, such as a hemolytic uremic syndrome, or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting. The incubation period for E. coli O121:H19 in humans can range from 24 hours to as much as ten days. The average incubation period is 3 to 4 days.
The following recalled products were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada: - Organic whole carrots, which do not have a best-if-used-by date printed on the bag, but were available for purchase at retail stores from August 14 through October 23, 2024, - Organic baby carrots with best-if-used-by-dates ranging from September 11 through November 12, 2024. The recalled carrots should not be available for purchase in stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.

formatting on tumblr is difficult, please see the FDA outbreak investigation page for the affected ranges of best-by dates for baby carrots, and pictures of the affected carrots.
as of time of posting, the main FDA recall page and the CDC investigation page have an error and do not list Kroger or LIDL baby carrots, while the FDA outbreak investigation page does. I am assuming that this means they are part of the recall and that this error will probably be fixed soon.
the recalled carrots are thought to be associated with an E. coli O121:H19 outbreak. 39 illnesses, 15 hospitalizations, and one death have been linked to this outbreak so far.
as always, these numbers are expected to be lower than the true number of illnesses and deaths, and will likely rise. not everyone seeks medical attention, and even when all testing and reporting procedures go as smoothly as possible, it can take weeks to officially link an illness to an outbreak.
noteworthy from the FDA investigation page:
FDA is working with the firm to determine the source of contamination and whether additional products are affected. This advisory will be updated as information becomes available.
in short, there is a possibility this contamination may affect more than just the recalled carrots. keep up to date with these pages to stay on top of this outbreak.
the recalled carrots are no longer on shelves. but if they are in your fridge or freezer, destroy or discard them and clean anything they may have touched.
if you think you got sick in relation to this outbreak, please seek medical attention, even if just to get your illness officially associated with this outbreak.
They should pay me to sort objects by color and shape and size all day I'd be good at it I'd be so fucking good at it
when everything is too much, I sometimes think about that one Jimmy Buffett song, “Bubbles Up”.
“So, when the journey gets long Just know that you are loved There is light up above And the joy is always enough”
Ngl, I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s about how wild, sad, and hard life can be, but also how wonderful it can be. You are loved. It will get better, and there will be good parts. The whole song is a masterpiece but that’s my favorite part. I highly recommend giving it a listen
see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell
Idk when talking to conservative friends I don’t say things like “everyone deserves healthcare” or “women should have the right to govern their own bodies” because yknow what’s more effective? “I’m having trouble getting my medication figured out for the summer because of the new restrictions” or “yeah can’t afford a doctor here so I guess I just deal with the issue lol” once you make it personal it’s not just some nameless person who should’ve managed their money or time better. It’s a friend.
God my favorite thing about the ancient world though is that they were so dedicated to making things pretty just like us. I love seeing the marginalia in bibles and the pictures they commissioned and the letters they spent extra on. I love that we wrote poetry two thousand years ago and put on theater and made art. I love that pots and bottles and tombs and beds and cribs have designs on them I love the graffiti on ancient walls I love the fact that they danced and sung and made art just like we do!!!! We are the same we are the same we are the same

when i was 14 i came out to a highschool teacher as transgender and i believe i was the first transgender person he ever talked to, and i suppose he panicked, because all he did was say "i think you should listen to little lion man by mumford and sons," and i did, and it changed my 14 year old mind, but i am still unsure what his intended message. he was cool with me being transgender though.
so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you
We are a very very dumb, stupid people
This may seem silly but this is what I needed to hear in 2016, so I’m going to say it now. It’s okay to feel hopeless or angry or scared or betrayed or even just mildly nauseous. However you feel is the right reaction for you. You’re just not allowed to kill yourself. You are too good, too valuable, too important for this to be the thing that takes you. Yes the world is a mess, but taking one good person out of it isn’t going to make it any better.
So take care of yourself. Wrap yourself in that blanket. Get that hug. Eat that mug cake. Find your life preserver whatever it may be and keep going. You are stronger than you realize.
Deciding to do something when you’re feeling defeated is hard. If all you can take care of is you today, focus on doing that. Tomorrow or a week from now you can look at what your community needs to do to weather the storm in the long term. Yes communities are hurting now, but having to grieve one more person isn’t going to make anyone’s life any better. Please keep going. Please don’t let this election take you too.
This may be a hot take, but as someone who has worked on around, and with both types of printers, 3D printers are so much better machines (at least in my opinion)! 3D printers just heat up shit and push it through a tube, whereas 2D printers are demon machines that summon text from an other dimensional portal and require the sacrifice of your first born. I have fought a 2d printer and literally ended up covered in blood and toner. I won but at what cost? Yes 3D printers are fire hazards a little bit sometimes, but so are most of my friends and colleagues. I’d take a 3D printer over a 2D any day of the week.
i feel like it says something about us as a species that somebody worked real hard to invent 3D printing when i think anyone who has ever used a printer would agree with me that we have not really gotten our arms around 2D printing yet. we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
have you raised enough money to keep the hotlines and skype-a-scientist yet? Cause I Will buy another avent calender if i must
We've sold 2025 so far, and to fund the program for 2025 (ok, weird that it's same number, but that's literally the number we sold as of 5pm Eastern lmao), we need to sell about 5000 total. Pretty unlikely that's going to happen but... I can try!
Tell your friends. Get some frog facts 😎
Secret recipes are so silly to me. Someone asking for the recipes for something I’ve cooked is, to me, the highest honor I could receive. To deprive them of that recipe is absurd. If you like my soup so much you want to cook it that is an absolute honor! It almost certainly came from some box clipping anyway. Here, have a list of all the ingredients I used! Riff, remix, mess it up six hundred times before you perfect it I don’t care! Make it your own. To me the sacred part of food is the joy and love it brings, who am as a mere mortal to deprive you of a recipe?
I told my students they're allowed to be creative and don't have to be factual when writing about themselves in German because I keep getting questions like "what if I don't have roommates or what if I don't have hobbies" and I'm like guys just make something up! Have fun! I won't fact check you!
So now I am grading homework where a student is claiming to be from North Korea and his hobby is tax fraud

I slept through my first class today and was like shit, and texted my friend in the class and she was like it’s fine the professor also didn’t show up today
So I haven’t really been seeing folks talk much here at all about what’s been going on with Hurricane Helene recovery- but I thought I might share something I thought was cool and important.
Because of how roads have been washed out making homes and towns inaccessible to vehicles, the Cajun Navy (organizations that performs search, rescue, and assistance during disasters) has partnered with Mountain Mule Packer Ranch to use the mules to get medications, food, and water to people in need.
I just think it’s incredible. Despite all the technology you’d think is accessible to help people out, mules are still the most reliable form of transport to save people’s lives
you just don't get shit like this with 8-episode streaming seasons
"dont smoke around your pets" okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.
