(reply to the kroger & walmart chicken fettucine alfredo listeria outbreak)
hey holy shit. the sound I made when I read this. this is exactly why the chicken fettucine recall is so scary, it is such a huge comfort food and a bunch of folks eat it while pregnant. I am so fucking glad my post found you and that you got medical attention right away.
yours is an example of doing exactly the right thing: listeria is especially dangerous while pregnant, and there are antibiotics that can be prescribed for high-risk folks during the early stages of symptoms or even before symptoms begin. and while listeria can take up to 80 days to cause illness, it can also cause issues within hours or days of eating contaminated food.
for you and for everyone else trying to avoid the general news right now, here is a list to help keep up with recalls and foodborne illness outbreaks in the united states since I do not post all of them:
FDA recall list (food, drug, medical device, etc recalls with press announcements, usually bigger food recalls have announcements)
FDA enforcement reports (more recalls go here, but more difficult to navigate than the recall list with announcements)
USDA FSIS recall list (they cover different food than FDA, especially meat. the chicken fettucine alfredo recall was posted here)
NHTSA recall list (vehicles, car seats, tires, and equipment recalls!)
CPSC recall and safety warning list (products! there have been a LOT of recalls of baby stuff recently!)
FDA outbreak investigations (you can see the status of outbreaks as they happen and get investigated, this is often where recalls start)
CDC active investigations of foodborne illness outbreaks (outbreaks can have both an FDA page and a CDC page. they cover different information)
foodsafetynews (news about food safety ONLY! not a government source. mostly focused on the US and canada, but also news around the world. some of what they post involves commentary on the current administration, BUT they post about bigger and more relevant recalls that wind up in the ever-tricky FDA enforcement reports.)
best of luck to you and your baby, and make sure you get plenty of rest!!!!!
