Is your lunch a pre-made salad?

A massive meat recall sparked by listeria concerns is affecting products at some of America's most popular grocery stores. Unlike cannabis, legal psychedelics are unlikely to become a billion-dollar industry any time soon. Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of sexually abusing a minor.

The meat recall affects hundreds of products at Walmart, Target, Publix and others

Sandwiches, wraps and salads are the main prepared foods affected by a recall of nearly 10 million pounds of meat. The affected products are available at some of America's leading grocers, including Walmart, Public, Target, Aldi, Amazon, Trader Joe's and more.

What happened: Precooked meat manufacturer BrucePac issued a massive recall of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products last week due to possible Listeria contamination.

  • However, the affected products were shipped to companies and dealers nationwide. The production date of the affected foods is only October 8, meaning they are likely still in consumers' refrigerators or freezers and available on shelves, in restaurants and other establishments.
  • Check your fridge and freezer: Affected items include chicken products, from pasta and burritos to bowls and family meals. Items manufactured from June 19, 2024 to October 8, 2024 with the company number “51205 or P-51205” on the packaging are subject to recall. A full and growing list of affected stores and brands can be found here.
  • What to do if you have a recalled product?: The USDA advises consumers who have purchased these products not to eat them and instead to throw them away or return them to the point of purchase.

These impacts have exacerbated problems already faced by Americans in rural areas.

Legalizing psychedelics could mean high costs

Massachusetts could soon become the third state to take the plunge if voters there approve a November ballot measure that would allow adults over 21 to consume five types of plant-based psychedelics. But as the psychedelics industry takes shape, it is encountering obstacles that never existed with cannabis. People who follow this industry say the psychedelics movement is a far cry from Weed Efforts 2.0. The way people get psychedelics in states where they are legal is worlds different than simply buying cannabis at a dispensary — and is thousands of dollars more expensive, too. Read more
