From what the article said it’s semi-normal contamination? As in- known problems that can occur, and they voluntarily recall all the items.
That’s the problem with alot of the organic foods…. they don’t go through all the processes that rip out the nutritional value (along with the bad stuff)- so you will find things in them maybe not found in super processed foods. (This is common when I buy from the farmer’s market, too)
That being said, there are a lot of people making lots of money off grocery certification. Like the circled U that you can find on most food packages. That’s a sign to people that foods are processed according to a certain set of rules. And the people who set those systems up, still make money off each purchase today. Often, stores will not even buy products from warehouses/production facilities that don’t have those types of certifications. Or, should I say- warehouses/production services won’t sell the products to places that do not buy solely from them, because they make money off each transaction. It’s really a scam. They strong arm people into buying their products, saying we cannot sell to you, bc not enough people will buy your product, (if these certification symbols aren’t included) but the problem is…… the only people who look for those types of certifications are only about 3% of the population. So yea, it’s a scam. They should definitely be entitled to certify their own food, but they shouldn’t be able to think that it’s okay for that food to included with all other food that’s for sale. (If you want to sell kosher food- by all means please do. But requiring production facilities to certify everything that flows through them for your own financial benefit? C’mon man- that’s what they call a racket.)
If you bite in falafel and bite rocks- that sucks though. I love Trader Joe’s
