Why?Much of green eating is about preserving the land, but it's also about improving your health. Organic and natural foods are not immune from recalls, as the recentpeanut and pistachio recallsshowed.
More often, recalls are indicators of larger problems in the food system. They demonstrate how industrialized and centralized food processing can introduce pathogens --E. colibacteria, salmonella, etc. -- into the food supply, and then circulate them widely throughout the U.S. or world in countless processed foods.
The Daily Green stays on top of recalls that are relevant to our audience, and you can always checkwww.recalls.govfor all government recalls. Be aware that both the USDA and the FDA can announce recalls, for different segments of the food supply, so checking www.recalls.gov is a better way to learn about food recalls than is checking each agency's own listing of recalls. (Plus, you can check onlead in toys, and other defective non-food products that have been recalled.)
