"Nestlé Purina Dry Cat Food Bags Contaminated With Salmonella Shipped To Colorado, Idaho and Oregon" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

 

Sox and Sam-Healthy, Affectionate & Gentle brothers!

Available for adoption from Friends of Felines LINK: www.adoptapet.org

Dear Fellow Pet-Lovers: 
     It starts off insidiously.  Your beloved pet seems 'sluggish'...and not him or her self.  Then notes of obvious illness appear and you are concerned.
     You must rush your 'baby' to the vet and you may note symptoms as serious as bloody diarrhea and suspect that something 'exotic' is the cause of your pet's distress.
     Yet it could be that the culprit is your pet's 'dry food'.  Even dry food can be fiercely contaminated with pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms, including those produced by the best pet food companies such as Nestle Purina.
     The sad fact is that much of our BASIC food supply is contaminated with microbes such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and all the other 'bad guys' I've been writing about here.
     And since these very foodstuffs are used in pet food as well, it is no surprise that the pet food industry is as 'rift' with food borne disease pathogens as human food is.
     Unfortunately, it is very easy to MISS the recall notices put out by the FDA and other agencies and supermarkets and pet food supply stores are not always as 'current' as they should be in pulling affected lots off the shelves and in notifying consumers.
     So I offer this advice to my dear readers:
1)  Check this link daily if you can so that you can at least 'assure' the safety of the food you and your loved ones consume to at least some degree:  
LINK:   http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/default.htm 
2)  Check in here often at 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry' 
LINK: http://www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com  and sign up for my FREE NEWSLETTER (Details Below) and have alerts mailed directly to your emailbox.
 3) AND MOST OF ALL:  DO NOT FEED YOUR BELOVED ANIMALS ANY FOOD THAT YOU, YOURSELF WOULD NOT CONSUME QUALITY-WISE!  All wise pet-owners READ LABELS and know that 'garbage foodstuffs' are added as ingredients in lower-quality pet food.
4)  If you value your pet's life, choose good quality brands of pet food for them!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 27, 2011 - Nestlé Purina PetCare Company (NPPC) is voluntarily recalling approximately 870 bags of dry cat food shipped to Colorado, Idaho and Oregon. This is being done as a precautionary measure, as the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Only the following products with both the "Best By" date and production codes shown are included in this voluntary recall:

Product Name	Bag Size	"Best By" Date & Production Code*	Bag UPC Code
Cat Chow Naturals Dry Cat Foot	6.3 lb.	AUG 2012 10331083 13	17800 11320
Friskies Grillers Blend Dry Cat Food	3.15 lb.	AUG 2012 10381083 06	50000 08450
Friskies Grillers Blend Dry Cat Food	16 lb.	AUG 2012 10381083 06	50000 57578

 *"Best By" Date and Production Code is found on the back or bottom of the bag.

The bags of dry cat food in this recall were distributed in error in February, 2011 to a small number of customers in Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, which may have further distributed the product to other Western states. There have been no consumer complaints and no reports of illness.

No additional Purina cat or dog products are involved. Only products which match the "Best By" date and production codes above are involved.

Consumers who have purchased any of these dry cat food products with these "Best By" Dates and Production Codes should discard it.
Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and there is a risk to humans from handling contaminated products. People handling contaminated dry pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product. Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may exhibit decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
At Nestlé Purina PetCare, the safety and efficacy of our products are our top priority. We apologize for any inconvenience due to this voluntary recall. For further information or to obtain a product refund, please call NPPC toll-free at 1-800-982-6559 weekdays 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time, or visit www.purina.com.

'Yes, Salmonella Can Be & Has Been Used As A Bioterrorism Weapon' By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Graphics for Funny Picture Comments


     Yes, Salmonella species CAN and HAVE BEEN used as a weapon of bioterrorism.  Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack
     Now is a good time, also, to bookmark this CDC Salmonella page for future reference:  http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/outbreaks.html
     I am NOT implying that the current Salmonella enteritidis outbreak in shell eggs is anything but a natural occurrence.
     But if it is, you can rest assured that the genetics of 'the bugs' under scrutiny will be identified and typed and the source determined.  But it is up to YOU to protect your health and that of your loved ones.  Do NOT expect anyone to be able to 'look out for you' completely, for that is impossible.
     In the meantime, stick with 'certified' 'tested' eggs from producers who can guarantee the claims they make about their products... if you're in 'the mood for eggs at this time', that is.  Be especially careful with food products that contain eggs, including pet foods, dressings, baked goods and the delicious ethnic foods we all love.
     It's not always so obvious about what does or does not contain eggs and it's worth taking the time to read labels.  Harder still is it to be sure that your restaurant fare is safe. 
     As ever, we are at the mercy and good faith of those who run our favorite eateries and their food suppliers, those who prepare our food and those who serve it.
     Food for thought in this day and age of superbugs, abysmal and cruel animal 'farming' practices and the evils of  bio terrorism.
God Bless You and God Bless America

Reverend Barb's Guide To Safe Produce Eating By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

courtesy http://www.jellymuffin.com/

Dear Ones:

If you read my articles or get my NEWSLETTER, you know that I make it my business to stay on top of any and all food, drug, herb, supplement and medical device 'recalls'.  I thought it might be interesting for you to learn exactly what I do to protect my own health and those of my loved ones on a daily basis when it comes to PRODUCE and here it is:


1)    I check for current recall news at http://www.fda.gov/, http://www.cdc.gov/ and at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/ and any and all academic and news sources, as necessary.


2)  I LOOK at the quality of the produce I am buying.  I do the old 'COA'-color, odor, and appearance check.

3)  I CHECK the quality and integrity of the packaging, if there is any.

4)  I tend to 'skip' the open salad bars.  I bypass produce piles at shoulder level where people will cough and sneeze on them. 

5)   I WASH everything I buy, even if it says 'already washed'.  Use massive amounts of fresh running water. 'Hard produce' like potatoes get a scrubbing with a brush and a bit of some non-perfumey liquid soap/detergent. It is difficult to adequately disinfect berries and soft produce, so eating them is something of an act of faith. Personally, I test out a few lettuce leaves (for example) as I am making dinner. Any dessert fruit, too!

6)  If any produce doesn't look right, taste right or if the package is breached, I THROW it out! Please don't feed suspect produce to the critters outside, for if the produce can harm you, it can harm them as well. All mammalian systems are designed by the Great Designer and Creator to live with and depend upon 'good microbes'. But the microbes often in question are the harmful 'pathogens'.   In the case of lettuce, they are a bacterial strain of the intestinal E. coli gone bad. Be sure to dispose of bad produce properly, so that it is sure to not get into anyone's 'food supply chain', anywhere.

7)YES 'one is CONTAGIOUS' when infected with E.coli O145 or some other bacteria or protozoan (or even virus if someone with the flu sneezes on your store's broccoli section) etc, as far as their feces are concerned.  So DO practice good toilet and hand hygiene at all times.

8) I use gloves when handling food for my family, especially since I cook for cancer survivors, immunocompromised persons and those who are, at times, post-operative. Also, if you have any open wound on your hands, protect it from being contaminated by food, again by wearing gloves.  I recommend and use non-latex gloves.  You may not have a problem with latex, but you may be handling the food of someone who is.  Just remember that 'gloves can get contaminated, too'. I wash my gloved hands, too, as needed, and ditch and replace gloves after handling raw meat, fish, or anything greasy or oily. This may sound like a lot of waste, but it really helps.  Be sure to properly dispose of gloves, of course, and use paper towels for contaminated 'spills' with proper disposal too!

9) Report any significant produce problems to the manager at your grocery store or restaurant.  He or she will be most appreciative for the input.  In this day and age of terrorism, threats to our 'food supply'...bulk, especially...have been a very real and on-going concern as we have received bonafide threats and learned of 'food-contamination' plans.  It goes without saying that you must alert the authorities immediately if you witness anyone tampering with anything at all in any food store.  Do so without jeopardizing your own safety, of course.  After notifying store and law officials, you may also report directly:
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY REPORT: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/email/oc/oci/contact.cfm

EMERGENCY(serious, life-threatening food-related event) : FDA's 24-hour emergency line at 301-443-1240 OR FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator3 in your geographic area: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/ReportaProblem/ConsumerComplaintCoordinators/default.htm  
Also contact your health care professional for medical, of course

NON-EMERGENCY Food-related (such as allergic reaction to a product with no allergens listed in ingredients; a non-life-threatening foodborne illness) in food products (except meat, poultry, and frozen, dried and liquid eggs) FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator6 in your geographic area.

http://www.fda.gov/Safety/ReportaProblem/ConsumerComplaintCoordinators/default.htm

ANIMAL FOOD PROBLEM-Pet food, animal feed http://www.fda.gov/Safety/ReportaProblem/ConsumerComplaintCoordinators/default.htm
I hope these hints help you out in protecting the health of yourself and those around you.  As always, be sure to seek the advice of your physician or other health care provider for any and all health concerns.  But remember that your 'everyday well-being' depends largely upon YOU!
God Bless You Today and Always,
Reverend Barbara Sexton

SEAFOOD SAFETY IN LIGHT OF THE GULF OIL SPILL By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Dear Ones:
     You've heard me repeatedly urge caution when it comes to eating certain seafood products, most notably RAW OYSTERS and other SHELL FISH.  Most recently my ongoing concern has been for norovirus in Mississippi and Louisiana oysters.  Here's the link: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/03/oyster-alert-miss-la-norovirus-posted.html 
     A little known fact that not many are familiar with is that this norovirus infection is highly contagious, unlike some other food-borne illnesses, which can only hurt and even kill 'one victim at a time'.  Here's a CDC link on norovirus for you: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/gastro/norovirus-qa.htm
     My advice has been this for years now:  DO NOT EAT RAW OYSTERS.  THE RISK OF CONTRACTING SOME SEVERE AND PERMANENTLY LIFE-ALTERING VIRAL OR OTHER ILLNESS IS JUST TOO GREAT TO RISK IT.  This applies to the young, the elderly, those who are immunocompromised and pregnant and nursing women, especially.
     I understand that there's nothing better than a good 'Oyster/Seafood Bar'.  But from a microbiological standpoint, things have been dicey for a long time now.  Add to the recent Gulf area flooding (with attendant sewage and cemetery upheaval and run-off) and I am forced to ratchet up my alert level to you. 
     The Gulf Oil Spill is fouling all living things in the area.  From a biochemical point-of-view, chemical contamination, whether from petrochemicals, pesticides or putrefaction cannot be 'cooked or processed away'.  Therefore, I am expanding my standing ADVICE FOR YOU THAT GULF OF MEXICO STATIONARY BOTTOM-FEEDERS SUCH AS OYSTERS AND CLAMS AS WELL AS SHRIMP, FISH AND ALL SWIMMERS, BOTH RAW AND COOKED ARE LIKELY TO NOT BE SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
     It is very likely that the gulf stream will transport oil up the East Coast and as such, all of the sea and it's food will have to be monitored henceforth.
     NOTE FOR PET-OWNERS: Everything I write here pertains to animal and pet food, as well.  Take care to check the source of the fish and fish-byproducts, such as fish meal in your pet's food.  I just pray that pet food manufacturers are vigilant, conscionable and responsible when it comes to their raw material sources.  It is extremely difficult to know what it is exactly we are eating and to a certain degree, dining has become a literal act of faith.
     Since I've mentioned 'fish by-products', I will also mention 'meat by-products' in animal/pet food.  Simply put, by law these by-products are allowed to contain, meat scraps, organ meats, meat from 'downers' (sick animals which means infected tissue, tumors, etc), and everything else that's left over after filleting/deboning or butchering.  There is a very real risk of contracting the prion disease BSE, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, known as 'mad cow disease' or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD in humans.  Forms of prion disease care capable infecting many mammals.  http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/ResourcesforYou/AnimalHealthLiteracy/ucm136222.htm 
     MY ADVICE IS TO AVOID THESE BY-PRODUCTS AT ALL COSTS WHEN THEY ARE LISTED AS THE PREDOMINANT INGREDIENT IN YOUR PETS' FOOD.  CHANGE BRANDS AS NECESSARY IF YOU LOVE YOUR PETS.
     Even the bleakest situation has some upside and the morbid one in the current Gulf Oil spill is no exception.  I predict that microbial contamination of the Gulf is bound to change one way or another.  Petrochemicals are quite anti-microbial, even being used in the form of 'coal tar' in ointments and shampoos.  Petrochemicals, as coal tar and in other incarnations kill everything from bacteria to head lice, so we shall wait and see specifically transpires in the microflora and fauna of the Gulf waters. 
     It will be my sad duty to stay on top of the safety of food of Gulf-origin and to report to you regularly.  You can read it here...or sign up for my FREE NEWSLETTER at email: BarbaraKSexton@aol.com  and get health news immediately.  (For removal from NEWSLETTER LIST, Just write 'NO' in subject line, no worries.)
For You With Love in Christ,
Reverend Barbara Sexton

Here's the FDA link about the multi-agency response to the Gulf oil spill.  Just remember it's from some of the same folks who insisted there would be no long-term health ramifications for Sept 11, 2001 first-responders!: 
http://www.fda.gov/Food/ucm210970.htm
Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Update - May 5, 2010\Multi-government agency response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), other Federal agencies, and several state authorities in the regions affected by the recent oil spill. FDA continues to closely monitor this developing situation and its potential impact on the safety of seafood harvested from the area.
Although crude oil has the potential to taint seafood with flavors and odors caused by exposure to hydrocarbon chemicals, the public should not be concerned about the safety of seafood in stores at this time. There is no reason to believe that any contaminated product has made its way to the market.
Federal and state officials are monitoring the waters from which seafood is harvested and will act to close areas contaminated by the oil spill to fishing and shellfish harvesting. NOAA has the authority to close Federal waters to commercial fishing and states have the authority to close waters within the state 3-mile limit.
NOAA has already closed a large area of the Gulf of Mexico to commercial fishing and some state molluscan shellfish beds have been closed in anticipation of the oil nearing the shoreline. Closely monitoring and, if warranted, closing harvest waters which could be exposed to the oil spill should prevent unsafe seafood from reaching the market. If, despite these steps, adulterated seafood is found on the market, both the FDA and the states have the authority to seize such product and remove it from the food supply.
Fish and shellfish harvested from areas unaffected by the closures are considered safe to eat.
