Rice is a common cause of food poisoning. Uncooked rice can contain the food poisoning bacteria Bacillus cereus. The bacteria survive even after the rice is cooked, and mishandling can lead to toxin production. Onset of symptoms can be as soon as an hour after and include vomiting and diarrhea.

in-house brand and it claims to be lactose free it’s merely just a tag. If you grab a milk carton of lactose, free milk if it looks like it’s bloated imagine that your stomach it’s gonna happen. Do not buy these products if I were you switch to rice, milk, or silk almond milk, but don’t buy it in that store. My advice go to Whole Foods, or along the lines of Kroger. Anything under those two even Walmart I wouldn’t even go there. Not being political. On a serious note, we need to start watching the cameras on the food more than we are on theft.
