According to a recall enforcement report from the Food and Drug Administration, over 10,000 cases of tofu produced by Hodo and sold in 29 states were recalled because they made be chemically contaminated by ink. The specific product affected by the recall is: “hodo CHILI CRISP LIGHTLY FRIED TOFU. NET WT 8oz., UPC 850565007842”.
First they came for the lettuce, and I did not speak out because I don’t eat a lot of salad
Then they came for the jalapeños, and I did not speak out because I grow my own anyway
Then they came for the beef and I did not speak out because who can afford beef these days
Then they came for my beautiful doufu and everyone was too busy pooping themselves into the hospital to speak for me
but also 
I made almost the same comment the other day: https://hexbear.net/comment/7418111
ha. independent invention, I honestly didn’t see yours.
😏🤭😅🤣
Is nothing sacred?
Serious question: is this like how they were reporting every single minor airplane mishap for a few months, creating the appearance of an increase in accidents, or is there a genuine uptick?

I assume it’s that. I shared the article because it’s about tofu (which is unexpected and funny) plus I thought it was breaking news but it turned out it’s not.
Im not American but its also possible shit is just slowly falling apart and getting fucked all kinds of ways. I also assume the current admin accelerated some things.
There has been a 400-500% increase in food recalls over baseline in the past year. Most of the recalls in the past year have been health and safety related recalls for foods that can cause harm or death.
In previous years, the majority of recalls were related to improper labeling or missed inspections, but did not actually mean the food was dangerous to consume.
This is a genuinely huge uptick in both the prevalence and severity of “accidents.”
there’s probably a way to look at old food recalls, either on the fda website or wayback machine.
there’s probably some blogger comparing the current thing to less late stage years
i know a guy on a discord i’m in who has been posting any food recall alerts he comes across for years, and based on the frequency of his PSAs i don’t think these are occurring much more frequently than they were, say, 3 years ago
Wondering the same.
I am actually fucked if the brand I buy ever gets contaminated, tofu is pretty much how I get most of my protein and it tastes so damn good
I’ve been considering making / buying some tofu presses and just doing it myself.
This was me, I was at the tofu factory and dropped a whole 12 pack of those gel pens in the tofu vat. My bad.
we aren’t mad but we’re very disappointed
I love these wacky Hexbears. What will they think of next.
Cheap curtain rods that don’t bend.
I cant stay mad at you
It doesn’t really matter but isn’t Guns’N’Roses explicitly an anti-communist band? Their 6th album is called ‘Chinese Democracy’. The album is anti-PRC and references Falun Gong being banned from China.
Welcome to the Jungle just sounds very funny in combination with the news I assume.
Welcome to “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair
It’s funny because it’s considered their worst album, not even “so bad it’s good”, just plain annoying
And their music sucks
I may be misremembering and I can’t be bothered to find the actual quotes from Axl Rose, but I’m pretty sure he said he didn’t really know much about politics or China when he wrote it and not to think too much about the album lyrics, that China isn’t so bad and MAGA is worse. If true it would make Axl cooler than 90% of boomer rockers.
Yeah, but wasn’t that also the record where Axl Rose replaced everyone in the band?
Inb4 some dumbass does this
: “Just grow your OWN food if you don’t like it! Just inspect it yourself!”If it were me, I would simply chili crisp and lightly fry my own tofu
What states you might wonder? I have no idea. Google and google news were shit. The WKRC article seems to be media copypasta.
