Check your freezers immediately if you made these purchases. Fruit recalled for deadly listeria outbreak was sold in some stores in North Carolina. Many people stocked up on some of these food items in preparation for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
According to WRAL in Raleigh, plums and nectarines often featured in holiday recipes are part of the recall. Peaches, plums and nectarines sold at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Sprout’s Farmers Market and Aldi could be in freezers right now and should be thrown out. Pay particular attention to the dates May 1 2022 through November 15 2022. Those fruits sold from May 1 2023 to November 15 2023 could also be contaminated and should be thrown out.
The fruit was reportedly sold individually as well as in bags. According to WRAL, “The fruit was also sold in HMC Farms-branded bags and Signature Farms bags labeled with 6359 printed on a white sticker on the bag.” All of these products have been removed from the shelves but U.S. Food and Drug officials are concerned some of the fruit may still be in freezers.
One person has lost their life due to the listeria outbreak and others have been sick. To learn more details about the fruit recalled for the deadly listeria outbreak, get details from the FDA right here.
4 Great Christmas Dinner Options For The Whole Family
Now that the Thanksgiving meal is behind us and we are all still feeling more than stuffed, it’s time we shift our focus. To more food! Here, we’ll cut into four great dinner options to feed the whole family at Christmas dinner.
Yes, Thanksgiving requires a lot of hours in the kitchen. Prepping a turkey, maybe even frying one, takes some proper attention. Then, to some, the most important part is the sides that go with the main attraction. Again, making these side dishes means cooking up a storm. However, perhaps we underappreciate the art of this meal. For the most part, the menu is designed for us. Furthermore, it is consistent every year. All you have to decide is how much to make based around how many people will be gathered around your table.
Fast forward a month, and it’s time to prepare another epic holiday meal. In addition to running around to grab last-minute gifts, if you are hosting a Christmas get-together you have to do a lot of preparing, again.
The Magic of Christmas Cooking
Here, we are going to break down some options to jump-start your Christmas prep. First, let’s set the table on some criteria, and some bust some myths. You certainly do not need to reinvent the wheel and cook up something extraordinarily unique. In fact, it’s best to keep it simple. Dozens of classic dishes have already been well-established as delicious to satisfy your family, friends, and guests.
The thought process in suggesting these four Christmas dinner options is that they are proven to be delightful. They can also be prepared in large batches that do not require a tremendous amount of hours in the kitchen. These meals are family-friendly and are sharable. Some of them you may even be able to combine together. Again, this list won’t spark an idea that’s never been cooked up. Perhaps it just serves as a simple reminder that these Christmas dinner menu items can be straightforward and delicious enough.
