This morning we just happened to run into a few of those folks I mentioned in an earlier post.
The story from them today was nothing short of manipulation.
Here is how their story went….
For the entire week a food company has a Food Inspector in the plant. An employee found a piece of pallet wood in a bowl [...]

Update:
Yesterday, Maple Leaf Foods issued a statement claiming they had found the source of the contamination: improperly cleaned machines. Well no guff, really. I could have told them that on day one LOL.
A rumor went around that the person in charge of Quality Control at MLF was fired. I won’t mention names but she was a [...]

For the past few years North America has had an uprising in food and product related issues from lead paint in childrens toys to juice contaminations.

Yesterday I finished off the disks in the cd caddy. When I went to throw it in the recycle bin I was thinking, ‘How can I reuse this item?’ I’ve already used other tops for multiple other things…a pot for new plants, pencil-pen holder, crayon container, odd button container, single salad container for work,.
