🇺🇸recall of various types of canned tuna due to fucking botulism <- CAN KILL YOU 🇺🇸

this involves some pretty big name tunas. if you eat canned tuna in the united states, you are going to want to check this list. botulism is one of the biggest deals in food poisoning. THESE CANS CAN FUCKING KILL YOU

Tri-Union Seafoods Issues Recall of Select Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-B and Trader Joe’s® Tuna Cans Due to Clostridium Botulinum Risk
Tri-Union Seafoods has made the decision to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products sold under the Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
EL SEGUNDO, CA, February 7, 2025 – Tri-Union Seafoods has made the decision to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products sold under the Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-B and Trader Joe’s brand names. This voluntary recall is out of an abundance of caution following the notification from our supplier that the “easy open” pull tab can lid on limited products encountered a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled. Consumers feeling unwell should seek immediate medical attention. No illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported and the recall is being conducted to ensure consumer safety. The impacted products were distributed to retail stores as follows: H-E-B label - Texas Trader Joe’s label – Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin Genova 7 oz. - Costco in Florida and Georgia Genova 5 oz. - Harris Teeter, Publix, H-E-B, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and independent retailers in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas Van Camp’s label – Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey

some emphasis mine. this is not a comprehensive list of retailers. these cans were sold in more stores than what is listed, and there is no complete list of affected stores. long story short the pull tab has a defect that makes these cans the perfect environment to give you botulism. and botulism is REALLY REALLY FUCKING bad. it is one of the deadliest forms of food poisoning and commonly grows in dented or damaged cans. unfortunately, the recall announcement does not currently include images.

tumblr does not let me make tables, so I cannot easily format all the necessary information in a way that I am confident will be easy to read and understand. so here is the list of names, and check the FDA link for the specifics of what can codes and best by dates are affected.

  • Genova Solid White Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz
  • Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz
  • Genova Yellowfin Tuna in 0live Oil 5.0 oz 4 Pack
  • Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive 0il 7.0 oz 6 Pack
  • Genova Yellowfin Tuna in in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt 5.0 oz
  • Van Camp's Solid Light Tuna in Oil 5.0 oz
  • Van Camp's Solid Light Tuna in 0il 5 oz 4 Pack
  • Trader Joe's Solid Light Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil
  • Trader Joe's Solid White Tuna in Olive Oil
  • Trader Joe's Solid White Tuna in Water
  • Trader Joe's Solid White Water Low Sodium
  • Trader Joe's Solid White Water No Salt Added
  • H-E-B Solid White Tuna in Water 5.0 oz 4 Pack

if you recognize these types of tuna or buy tuna from those stores, stop reading here and click the FDA link at the top for more information. not all cans in these lines are being recalled, but the affected cans have best by dates into 2028.

from the wikipedia entry about botulism:

The disease begins with weakness, blurred vision, feeling tired, and trouble speaking. This may then be followed by weakness of the arms, chest muscles, and legs. Vomiting, swelling of the abdomen, and diarrhea may also occur. The disease does not usually affect consciousness or cause a fever.

...and these vague symptoms, which may not even all appear in someone with botulism, eventually lead to muscle weakness and paralysis to the point someone is unable to call for help, and might eventually stop being able to breathe. while fully conscious.

from the foodsafetynews article on this recall:

In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food. However, symptoms can begin as soon as 6 hours after or up to 10 days later.

according to the wikipedia article, 5%-10% of people who get botulism will die with timely medical intervention. without medical intervention, botulism kills 50% of the people it sickens. this is emergency room ASAP level stuff.

please send the FDA link to anyone you know who eats canned tuna in the US. although no illnesses have been attributed to this defect yet, it may only be a matter of time as the seals on these cans degrade. please do not become the first.

these cans are no longer on the shelf at stores, but they are likely still in pantries. many of them say on the package that they are still good until 2028.

these cans are not good. they were never good. and the longer it takes to throw every one of them out, the more the person who eventually eats it risks botulism.

and as a reminder, if you think you have botulism, go to the emergency room and do not wait for an appointment. once botulism symptoms start kicking in, you might not survive long enough to see your doctor.

It’s so tiresome when people are like “why do you have to bring politics into everything?” Like we aren’t steeped in the cumulative detritus of politics every moment of our waking life.

You live in America, a country founded, originally, in 1607 by charter from the Crown of England. 13 years later, a group of religious extremists seeking to escape the influence of The Church of England found another colony 500 miles away from the first one. Over the course of the next 160 years these two colonies explode in population, pushing the people who lived here originally further west. Colonization mostly stops at the Appalachian mountains until the early 19th century. Because of this, the East Coast of the US is more densely populated than anywhere else. You live in the ashes of politics.

When the wealthy landowners who constituted the political class of the colonies overthrow the authority of the Crown of England, they draft a system whereby the judiciary has the power to overturn acts of the legislature, and the chief executive is separate from that legislature, in order to limit the power of the legislature's sovereignty, a system wildly unusual for the time. As a result, social change can be artificially held behind by lifetime-appointment judges for decades or generations beyond popular opinion or desire. You live in the ashes of politics.

The New Deal programs bring millions of white Americans back from the edge of starvation. In order to garner support from Dixiecrats, the Roosevelt Administration specifically excludes Black and Hispanic Americans from these programs. Housing programs are the most affected by these, allowing whites to accumulate wealth via land ownership and real estate on a massive scale. When Black and Hispanic citizens are able to purchase property, they are systematically excluded from the most desirable areas, a practice known as redlining. This systematic segregation of wealth snowballs over generations. You live in the ashes of politics.

During World War II, automobile manufacturers are given billions of dollars to build materiel for the military. Trucks, Jeeps, ambulances, airplanes, rifles, bombs, radios, and hundreds of other things. The automakers use profits from this to design and later market automobiles not just as a luxury, but as a necessity. Over the 50s and 60s, use of public transit declines. In the 1950s, the Eisenhower administration creates the Interstate Highway System both to encourage Americans to drive and to move war materiel in the event of a conflict with the Soviet Union. These massive roads require massive amounts of space, and when they are run through cities, they are overwhelmingly built on top of prosperous Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, often bisecting and isolating them. You live in the ashes of politics.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the ways your life is affected by the politics of men long since dead. But you live, every day, in the ashes of politics past. You just don't think about it. Everything about your life, from where you live, to where you work, to the way you get to the supermarket, to the fact you have as supermarket, is political.

I can't help but dislike the fact that this post is so USA-centric, but it can still be used as an example.

1: a reddit post titled "AITAH for 'training' a guy 'like a dog'?" the post says:

"I (23F) have recently started seeing this guy (26M). he's super pretty, but he's kind of emotionally unavailable and he's alluded to an unstable/ unhealthy childhood.

for context, i also work w socializing abused and neglected dogs at a local shelter and i think how much time i spend w the dogs is impacting the way i interact w ppl.

when we were on a date i started subconsciously making mental notes abt him like the notes id make abt a dog. for example, i noticed when we went out to dinner i noticed he ate really quickly and was very anti-sharing (resource guarding) but when i offered to pay and suggested dessert it seemed to make him really happy and a little calmer (food-motivated); he's really particular about his car (territorial/ crate aggression); he likes when i pick where we go/ what we do (eager to please), etc. so, ive started using the tactics id use on a dog w similar problems.

recently a friend (22F) pointed out that it's weird that i keep peanut M&Ms on me w the specific purpose of offering the guy one when i see him, and offering them again whenever i can tell he feels vulnerable. she said that im being an asshole bc he's a person, not a dog so i shouldn't be 'training him like one.'

i don't think that's fair, im not trying to control him or anything, i just want him to feel comfortable w me the same way i need the animals im helping to be comfortable w me. humans and animals aren't THAT diff after all, we all just want to feel safe and cared for. the guy hasn't noticed yet as far as i can tell. the problem is, my 'technique' is yielding really positive results.

AITAH? should i stop?"

I feel like there's already been a post about this but I can't stop thinking about how Jiang Cheng just knows how to counter JGY's music in the temple and does it immediately and effortlessly, almost like he's been practicing for quite some time in case of a hypothetical fight against a powerful cultivator who is renowned for using guqin music in battle. I wonder why he would do such a thing

my friends often complain about being hit on by young guys at the gym/out in public. yet despite going at least 3 times a week to my bouldering gym the only people that have tried to converse with me are women and old jacked dudes who want to trade climbing tips. of my 25 years going on solo hikes, walking around cities and buying groceries alone ive never been approached. tradies and old blokes i work with dont know what to make of me. there's an old part of me that used to question this but nowadays i just enjoy it

More cumplanewar au thoughts (stealing the ship name idea from @thesadisticsiren):

-This throuple is like, two guys and their attack dog. At a glance it would seem like SQQ and SQH are the two guys and LQG is the attack dog, but it actually depends on the situation.

-SQQ is the attack dog for winning verbal arguments, and Shang Qinghua is unleashed when the best solution would be to just ruin some clan's big picture financial prospects for the next ten generations. Liu Qingge might stab you but the other two are more likely to make you wish someone had just stabbed you.

-Yue Qingyuan has mixed feelings about this whole situation, but standing on the outside and smiling sadly at this strange adult version of Xiao Jiu while he moves on with his life without him feeds his emotional masochism, so that's mostly what he goes with.

-Qi Qingqi did not know that men could have polycules. She thought this was mostly just something women did when they smartened up and realized that having sex with each other and locking their shitty husband out at night was a better way of coping with being in a harem than competing. Live and learn.

-Luo Binghe eventually joins Cang Qiong (despite numerous efforts to get him into some other sect) by climbing Bai Zhan Peak. SQQ and SQH start coming up with contingency plans for what to do if there's some sort of "kill his own shizun" mandate in effect and Liu Qingge bites it. This is useful stuff just in general, given that Liu Qingge is still just lousy with character death flags and also has literally made it his job to run headlong into dangerous situations.

-Shen Qingqiu still manages to die the most.

-Mu Qingfang doesn't know why these two specific martial brothers of his with like zero medical training keep coming to him with new miraculous methods for healing multiple amputations and heavy blood loss, but he is NOT complaining.

-Huan Hua Palace Master likes to make insinuating remarks about Cang Qiong's "famous fraternal love" between peak lords in a way that seems perfectly polite but also implies something seedy is going on. This doesn't work out well, mostly because it flies right over Liu Qingge's head, Shang Qinghua is just nodding along and feeding every scrap of HHP intel he gets to Mobei Jun, and Shen Qingqiu's roasting ability was forged in the fires of online comment sections, so pitting him against a tacky drama villain is like releasing a feral cat onto a small island that has only evolved flightless birds with no native predators.

-It actually does take them a while to start fucking. Mainly happens because of sex pollen the first time, of course, and then Shang Qinghua has to just be like "that was fun, let's do it again" so that Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu can yell at him about it until they calm down enough to agree.

-Liu Qingge keeps trying to get Officially Married, but Shang Qinghua doesn't want to do the paperwork (worries he's secretly the third wheel and they're going to want to get rid of him at some point), and Shen Qingqiu doesn't want to firm things up until after the plot has passed (thinks he might still get murdered and doesn't want to make things 'messy' if that happens).

-There is a persistent external impression that the shrewd & scheming SQQ and SQH have basically beguiled and bewildered Liu Qingge into their beds in order to exploit his potential and use his body. Shen Qingqiu tears this porn to shreds, Liu Qingge is reluctantly into it, and Shang Qinghua is just surprised to be cast as a top even though he's the shortest.

-Mobei Jun trying to figure out how to navigate human culture just well enough to get into the polycule but only to exclusively date Shang Qinghua is the lady with the math equations meme.
