On March 16, 2016, Bumble Bee Foods, LLC announced a voluntary recall of three variations of their Chunk Light tuna after an audit exposed serious issues. This serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance for both sellers and consumers.

By Johnita Anthony,
Weekly Recall Roundup: Listeria Outbreaks and Ice Cream Allergen Alerts This week’s grocery watch highlights several major recalls and public-health alerts affecting everyday shoppers and store operators.

Use a dedicated produce brush for roots like potatoes and carrots. For busy shoppers, small habits save money and time: label washed batches, store dry items in breathable co...
