Monday Update
/We had a good weekend, did some grocery shopping at the "soon to be closed" Tops. They were a ghost town today. It was kind of nice to shop without fighting the crowds, like you have to at Giant Eagle. I'm really worried that Giant Eagle is going to become the grocery store monopoly. I like having a choice of where to shop. My other favorite store, Meijer, is about an hour away. I hope the Tops near me is replaced with another store.
Some good news, Walmart is going to start selling $4 generic drugs in other states now, along with Florida. See the article.
And there are a couple of recalls to tell you about:
Ballard's Farm Sausage Inc. said Saturday it is recalling its egg salad in 17 states because of possible contamination: The company said tests showed mixed results for Listeria monocytogenes. The bacterium can cause serious or fatal infections in young children or elderly people. It also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
Ballard's President David Ballard said the company has temporarily suspended producing egg salad while it investigates the contamination. Consumers can return the 12-ounce containers of egg salad for a refund. The company did not say where the containers were sold.
The states involved in the recall are Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia
Baby Cookie Monster Plush Toys: This recall involves the Baby Cookie Monster plush toy packaged with certain Sesame Beginnings Make Music Together DVDs. The blue plush toy has a small, felt fabric cookie attached to its hand. The plush toy and DVD are packaged in a yellow and green box with the words “Sesame Beginnings” and “Make Music Together” printed on the front. The product is labeled for children ages 6 months and up. (Sold at Walmart)
