“I ordered a pizza last night, February 26, 2021, well two.  One for myself to have to eat through the weekend and the other for my grandkids.  I ate two slices and maybe 30 minutes or so later I got nauseous and I had to go to the bathroom and threw up everything.  About an hour later I got just one... See Moresmall slice trying to put something on my stomach and soon after I threw that up as well. My granddaughter had a couple of bites of the other pizza and she wakes me up because she had gotten sick and had diarrhea and nauseous, she’s nine years old.  This is really upsetting and I just feel like someone did something to those pizzas. I paid $40.00 including a $8.00 tip. My daughter ordered the pizza and I PayPal her so it was ordered from her account.  But I have record of it all. 
My granddaughter had a couple of bites of the other pizza.  First she told me her stomach hurt so I gave her some Children’s Soothe for nausea and she wakes me up because she had gotten sick and had diarrhea and nauseous, she’s nine years old.  This is really upsetting and I just feel like someone did something to those pizzas. I paid $40.00 including a $8.00 tip. My daughter ordered the pizza and I PayPal her so it was ordered from her account.  But I have record of it all.  It was only myself and my granddaughter that got sick but we both ate two different pizzas.  My daughter did order her a pizza but so far she has not complained.  This happened last night for me around maybe 9:30pm to 10:00pm?  For me it was about 20 minutes or so after the pizza was delivered.  For my granddaughter it was later because she didn’t get hers until later.  Actually she only had a small bite.  That pizza only had that portion eaten.  My pizza has three slices missing.  See Less”

“Company name: Ocean Beauty Seafoods LLC
Brand name: Publix
Product recalled: Parmesan-Crusted Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets
Reason of the recall: Undeclared Soy
FDA Recall date: February 08, 2021
Recall details: Ocean Beauty Seafood LLC of Seattle, WA is recalling 8450 packages of Publix brand Pa... See Morermesan-Crusted Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets, net wt.12oz, frozen, UPC 41415 30245 7, because it may contain undeclared soy due to mis-packaging. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The affected Parmesan-Crusted Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets retail box bears the code date “Best Before/Use By date 021122”, and the affected Teriyaki sauced product is observed through a clear inner vacuum package inside the retail box. Images of the affected and non-affected product are found below. The affected product was distributed directly to Publix Super Markets Inc distribution warehouses located in Florida and Georgia between 9/18/20 and 11/4/20. Publix further distributed product to their various retail stores in the southeast.

The problem was discovered when a consumer reported that the Teriyaki sauced salmon was found inside the retail box labeled as Parmesan-crusted salmon. Further investigation by the co-packer UniSea Cold Storage of Redmond, WA revealed that the that the loading box machine operator must have inadvertently grabbed the Parmesan-crusted salmon retail box instead of the correct boxes. We estimate only 300 units of 8450 Teriyaki sauced salmon packages were mis-packaged as Parmesan-Crusted Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets.

There have been no adverse/allergic reactions reported to date. This recall is being made with the knowledge of, and in cooperation with, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“I had a 5 piece chicken tender with honey mustard, tots, and a large Oreo cheesecake master blast shake. The shake tasted absolutely rotten - I thought that maybe they didn’t stir it well enough, so I stirred it thoroughly and it still tasted awful. I had MAYBE 5 sips and stopped drinking it. I left... See Moreit on the counter so I could take it back/tell them how horrid it was. A few hours later I saw it literally frothing and bubbling like sea foam! I don’t know what the heck happened, but it’s been awful. I got intense stomach cramps and diarrhea a little less than 12 hours afterwards. As a health care professional, the symptoms point me towards C. diff (clostridium) and it is highly likely that the ingredients of either the shake or the chicken tenders had not been refrigerated properly.
