Food Recalls Why Are There So Many What Is Going On Food Recall Alerts Product Recalls hi
it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper does it seem like there's more and more food recalls and for larger
amounts of products and the answer is yes there are more products being recalled and the enormity
of the quantity is almost flabbergasting i was just looking up food recalls how many food
products were recalled in 2020 and the number that came up was 32. so i put in recalled food 2021 the
answer was 270. but then it says that's a 27 decrease so i don't know what kind
of math they're doing but that's not the kind of decrease that i've ever encountered so then i put
in food recalls 2022 can't find out the amount of food products being recalled but they will
tell you that they are massive quantities food recalled never seen before it's at a 10-year high
and i'm just looking for food recalls i'm not looking for cosmetics toys cars tools nothing
like that i'm just trying to figure out food recalls because as we're trying to prepare for
the future uncertainty food shortages rising prices it just seems like there are every time
you turn around there is a recall they've recalled baby formula peanut butter cheese chocolates
del monte fruit smithfield meat jams organic beef vegan chocolate chicken lentil doll ready meals
crackers and blueberries and the list went on and on those are just the products that i read
was reading the list that have been recalled in just the last month and that's a phenomenal
amount of food think about it statistically we know that they're always going to be something
but it certainly seems like as more people are worried about food shortages rising prices and
it's more common now for people to talk about prepping and stockpiling
suddenly more and more food is being recalled and they're more basic foods and it doesn't make sense
i just know that that's another good reason to be a prepper to stock up on food
because if you have your food put away in your stockpile and then it is recalled you haven't
been eating it you can go to your stockpile and the food that's being recalled is still
in your pantry which gives you some assurance that you haven't eaten contaminated food
other things it makes me wonder because say the baby formula there were a few babies who
tragically died but when they did all the investigation the baby formula produced was
not the source yet they have not reopened the food processing plant that is making the baby formula
you have to wonder why one amazing thing that happened to me today i went into Fred Meyers
which is part of Kroger and on my receipt they printed out all of these recalled peanut butter so
it's right there on the receipt i was so surprised i've never seen that on a receipt before and the
clerk even said look over this list the peanut butter's been recalled and see if you might have
any and you want to bring it back to the store get a credit and i thought that was quite nice
i've never seen them do that before i've recently shopped at walmart and Carr's which is Safeway up
here and they didn't include anything like that on their receipt so bravo to you Fred Meyers
Kroger maybe all Kroger stores are doing it i don't know but i thought it was very nice that
they gave recall information you can easily go to your prepper pantry stockpile look over your
food see if you have any of those recalled products it also gave you right on there
what's the number you want to call if you want to talk to the company and it tells you you can
bring it back to the store for a refund if you have ever had food recalled and then you threw
it away before you realized i should be able to get a refund you can talk to the manufacturer
look them up find the number just like you can on this receipt and call them and say look
i had three jars of 40 ounce peanut butter or whatever it is and it was contaminated and i would
like a refund and i'm assuming that they're going to make it right and send you a refund remember
to be honest this is not a time when you want to scam food manufacturers out of money for things
that you didn't buy so make sure that you're honest with what you're asking for i certainly
have been flabbergasted by not only the different types of foods but the amounts the quantities
that have been recalled recently and it certainly gives you wonder what is going on if you have any
comments that you have any information of why this is happening or any ideas that you think could be
the reason share it in the comments so we can help learn from each other we need to stick together
with like-minded people we need to help each other figure out what to do during these challenging
times that we're facing now and it likely we will be ahead keep checking over your food pay
attention to the recalls and then also make sure that you're stockpiling food the best that you can
because if more and more is being recalled prices are going up then less and less is available
and we don't want to ever come to the day that either we go to the store and the shelves are
empty of the products we want or they're so expensive we can't afford to get the
products that we want we don't want to be stuck paying too much for foods we don't really want
because we don't have any other options if you enjoyed my video i hope you'll share
