Are you concerned with the quality of our food? Does it seem as though there's nothing that you can safely eat? Between the food choices that nutritionists shun to the items the FDA finds contaminated, it's really no wonder people are uneasy making safe and healthy food choices. The FDA sent out a warning this week to alert consumers about a potentially dangerous brand of olives. Apparently, olives under the brand name Charlie Brown di Rutigliano & Figli S.r.l, of Bari, Italy have been linked with the harmful bacterium, Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism. 

The recall of these olives was released on March 27. Although most of the olives have been removed from store shelves and restaurants, the FDA is warning consumers to pay attention to the brand of olives they consume or purchase as they could be contaminated.  

This recall is just one of many food products recalled in the past few weeks. If you’re worried about the quality of your foods or want to learn more about the work the FDA does in ensuring food safety, you can sign up for news alerts on their website.
