🇺🇸tony's chocolonely chocolate bar recall due to rocks🇺🇸

literally, due to rocks. they got rocks in them

april 2, 2025

Tony’s Chocolonely Inc., a New York, New York Corporation, is voluntarily recalling seven lots of Tony’s brand Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar (6.35oz); and Everything Bar (6.35oz) because the product may contain small stones. The products were distributed nationwide and sold in the United States via retail stores and www.tonyschocolonely.com; distribution of the products began February 7, 2025 and ended March 24, 2025.

emphasis mine.

this recall only affects some lots of the dark almond sea salt bar and the everything bar, due to the rock problem. they were distributed nationwide in stores and on the internet. I included their pictures at the top.

I am not able to format a table for tumblr, so check that recall link for the specific lot codes and expiration dates.

The recall was initiated following 12 reports of consumers finding small stones in the product not filtered during third-party almond harvesting and the almond processing process. All complaints occurred outside of the United States and Canada, and no injuries were reported.

they found rocks after there were 12 reports that said hey. there are rocks in this. this can easily lead to dental problems if someone tries to bite full force on a rock and breaks a tooth or otherwise injures their mouth. dental infections can eventually become life-threatening even in people who are young and otherwise healthy. so it is a good thing nobody apparently ate the rocks yet. or at least, nobody got injured while potentially eating rocks. yet

If you have purchased one of the affected products with the specified lot codes and have not yet consumed it, you are advised not to eat the product. Please return the product to the store of purchase for a refund or replacement or dispose of the product. Please consult the following webpage to confirm how to identify the lot code and claim a refund or replacement in your market: https://us.tonyschocolonely.com/pages/recall-fo-intl-0325

emphasis mine.

please do not the rocks. thank you

genuinely what is up with this desire to believe that stories ppl like are all completely written by accident by idiots rather than like a combination of well constructed plotting by writers that care about their craft and smart if not preplanned reincorporation. not EVERYTHING in a piece of media is plotted exactly but equally stories do not appear out of whole cloth and its deeply odd to me to pretend that they are

it’s also not even that people think stories were written by idiots it’s also that they think they were written by no one, controlled by the characters, whose emotions and choices affect the formal elements of the thing they are watching or reading rather than the other way around. I find this especially true in drama and on tv. case in point my students plural in Shakespeare 1 arguing that romeo broke meter because he was upset, rather than that the broken meter produced the feeling, on them the reader, that he was upset. ughhhh . U guys. he’s made of poetry

matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

Poilievre is literally endorsed by Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones...

FOTUS himself has been trying to distance himself from Poilievre lately, almost certainly because they've figured out that being tied to the guy tariffing and declaring his pans to annex Canada is, in Canadian politics, a liability. But that just underscores the point: if MAGA wanted to hurt Poilievre with Canadian voters right now, they'd talk up how much they liked him, not make a belated show of distancing themselves.

Poilievre is their man on the inside.

How am I only just learning this!?

Explanation of what this does for anyone confused!

🇺🇸recall of egg beaters and bob evans better n eggs due to contamination with cleaning solution containing bleach🇺🇸

WASHINGTON, March 28, 2025 – Cargill Kitchen Solutions, a Lake Odessa, Michigan establishment, is recalling approximately 212,268 pounds of liquid egg products that may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The liquid egg items were produced on March 12 and 13, 2025. The following products are subject to recall: -32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” and USE BY AUG 10 2025. -32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” and USE BY AUG 09 2025. -32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL FROZEN EGG SUBSTITUTE” and “egg beaters NO ENJAULADAS ORIGINAL SUSTITUTO DE HUEVO CONGELADO” and USE BY MAR 07 2026. -32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “Bob Evans Better’n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites” and USE BY AUG 10 2025.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “G1804” ink-jetted on the carton. These items were shipped to distributor locations in Ohio and Texas and for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa. There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide.                 

some emphasis mine.

sodium hypochlorite is a type of bleach.

so once again we have a recall where the company responsible does not actually know all of where its products wound up. which is bad, because bleach is in them. the list of affected states is not comprehensive.

if you use these products in these sizes at all, anywhere in the US, check your cartons.

The problem was discovered when FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination of these products. After conducting an investigation and thorough assessment of the contents of the cleaning solution, FSIS scientists concluded that use of this product should not cause adverse health consequences, or the risk is negligible, resulting in a Class III recall. Although FSIS does not expect any adverse health effects for Class III recalled products and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ or foodservice refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and foodservice locations are urged not to serve them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

some emphasis mine.

the manufacturer did not catch their own contamination. someone sent a tip to the FSIS, who investigated and found that yes, this shit is contaminated with a cleaning solution that contains bleach.

although you probably do not want to eat these on purpose, the FSIS insists that the contaminated products are probably not going to cause major health issues, and none had been reported when the recall was announced. but it is worth pointing out that a lot of these products went to foodservice, and most people making or ordering an omelette do not think they are about to eat fucking bleach.

if you got sick after ordering an egg dish, reach out to appropriate foodservice staff and ask if they use these products.

if you think eating the contaminated products may have hurt you, talk to your doctor.

more information about this recall, including who to contact about problems, questions, or safety concerns can be found through the FSIS link.

every person who posts ai should be embarrassed

the ghibli trend really pissed me off more than anything because it shows how disconnected you are to anything real. if you knew anything you would know why it's so deeply disrespectful.

^^So true and I genuinely believe that people who “innocently” generate these images for fun are just as guilty of this disrespect as the AI bros who shit on artists. At this point, there’s NO way you can be online and not have heard both the ethical and environmental arguments against it. Especially on a website like Tumblr. So those that are obviously choosing to ignore it or let it slide - that’s very embarrassing!!

It looks like today is going to be a night of checking up with my friends to see which ones of them are now unemployed… Tumblr seems to have been hit hard

It looks like developers, both web and mobile, are the biggest group in the 280 people laid off

After publication, we began hearing more about which orgs were impacted from various sources. According to at least one source, just north of 100 were from WooCommerce. We’ve also heard Tumblr, Day One, and the AI orgs were impacted. In the U.S., layoffs spanned roles, including account execs, marketing, product (management and design), sales, community, business operations, and more. The default severance package is just 9 weeks.
