“By News Desk on June 15, 2022

Built Brands, LLC. of American Fork, UT, is recalling 4,196 individual bars of its “Banana Cream Pie Puffs” protein bar because of potential pathogenic E. coli contamination. The exact strain has yet to be determined.

The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by a third-party laboratory detected the presence of E. coli.

The recalled product was distributed nationwide to 1,049 potential customers through mail orders and would have been received by customers after June 6, 2022.“

“Whenever one of the trio got sick, it would usually result in 12 hours of fever, diarrhea and cramps. Her husband and son would usually get the sickest, but they could never figure out why. They deep-cleaned their home, didn’t have anyone over for two months and ruled out everything.

Then when @kelsewhatelse found herself at the hospital for a different reason, she asked her doctor what their mysterious illness might be. The doctor suggested it could be salmonella from a Jif peanut butter recall. But the mom had already checked their main peanut butter source.

However, she alleged that when she went home, her husband asked if she had checked the smaller peanut butter cups. The mom didn’t know the family had any. It turns out that on Monday mornings, when her husband would get their son ready, he would feed him a peanut butter cup. The dad would even have some of the nut butter too.

When @kelsewhatelse checked the cups, she claimed they were, in fact, part of the recall. The mom believed the contaminated cups explained why the baby never got sick and why her husband and son were always the sickest.

The video racked up 1.9 million views on TikTok.

“So happy you shared this. I just packed those little cups to take camping. I went and checked and sure thing they were the contaminated ones,” a user commented.

“My son was hospitalized with every single symptom of salmonella. Just a few weeks later, the recall came out — all of our jars were recalled,” another said.

“Thank you I just discovered what has been making us sick for about a week,” a person wrote.“

“A widely used but controversial herbicide linked to cancer is showing up in people, with a government study finding glyphosate in more than 80% of urine samples from U.S. kids and adults.

Part of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found glyphosate in 1,885 of 2,310 urine samples representative of the population at large. Nearly a third of the samples came from kids, ranging in age from six to 18.”

“Still, the signs of contamination are all around. On beaches in Oak Island, near where the Cape Fear spills into the Atlantic Ocean, children build sandcastles and splash in PFAS foam, a form of toxic waste. When it rains, PFAS-laced foamy water bubbles in gutters in the town of Leland.

PFAS contamination has been documented throughout the region – in drinking water; in air and soil samples, in crops, in livestock and fish; and, notably, in blood samples taken from people who live and work in the region.

The basin is considered an important natural resource for drinking water, agriculture, and recreation. But the 450,000 residents and another 200,000 tourists who visit the area annually risk exposure to PFAS contaminants, experts say.”



“The EPA has rejected the requests and has said it will analyze only seven PFAS and attempt to extrapolate their health impacts and toxicity data across the entire class of over 9,000 PFAS compounds.

Last month, the coalition sued the EPA over the issue.

“We’re outraged – they basically gave us nothing,” said coalition attorney Bob Sussman.“

“Microplastics are polluting food and water sources and there’s no way to avoid eating them. But when larger chunks of plastic end up in food products, buyers are bound to discover them as they eat the food. That’s what the Enjoy Life Natural Brands recall is all about.

Various types of baked snacks might contain hard plastic pieces that could harm consumers. As a result, the company is recalling 13 different products.”
