My husband went to a chain drugstore and brought back the house brand of peanuts. It was already open and he was enjoying them and offered me some. I reminded him about the contamination with the peanuts and how do we know these are safe but he never gives in to that sort of thing so he just shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat them. I however being of poor health can’t afford to get sick so I passed on the offer.
I did however want to read the fine print on the back to see where they were made. It only had the store name, but what got me to thinking about it again was that it said on the bag that the machinery that made the peanuts also made wheat, soy, and dairy products.
I find this scary because if they don’t thoroughly clean the machine with bleach it could be passing the contamination onto various other types of food. A lot of food.
Where does it end, and who can we trust to manufacture food products that are safe for our families? What companies are ran tightly by folks who care more about public safety than personal profit? The answer is my friends, I don’t know, I just don’t know.
