Where possible, it would be useful to contain information about the recall such as:
2 minutes in the Microwave kills everything.
… Everything?
https://www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/FoodSafety/Myths
It depends on whether the microwave heats all the food to the correct temperature, it is the heat not the microwaves that kill the bacteria. Also you need to worry about toxins as well as the bacteria. The recommendation is contaminated food needs to be boiled 5-10 minutes.
Also you need to worry about toxins as well as the bacteria.
This is the biggest worry. A lot of bacteria is dangerous because they basically produce toxins. And toxins are just chemicals - heating it, microwaving it, boiling it - won't do anything to toxins if they're already in the food.
@try2bhelpful: this is why my favourite way of cooking is boiling in a pressure cooker.. does veggies, rice, potato anything really.
I wonder if bread or crumpets are completely sterilized when used in a toaster or oven or if it just promotes the bacteria.
Best not to eat vegetables I think. The thought of this (eating contaminated food) makes me feel unwell. My concern is it will be like the frozen berries where the recall starts out small and ends up a lot more widespread.
Fresh veg for us.
when was the frozen berries recall ?
there's been a few. nannas seems to attract the most attention. it kicked up a shitstorm because the berries came from china.
@c64: The issue with fruit contamination is that people don't tend to cook fruit so they don't kill the bugs. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people were using the frozen berries for smoothies, etc. There was a recent outbreak of Listeria with fresh rockmelons.
ahhh the pooberries, fun times…
I've been eating these frozen vegetables from Woolworths and ALDI for years. They're the cheapest vegetables at $1.59/kg.
But, what should I be doing now, seeing a doctor?
buy fresh from farmers markets and freeze
This article form Choice looks pretty good on food safety.
https://www.choice.com.au/food-and-drink/food-warnings-and-s…
The disturbing part of this for me is that an identical recall (of frozen vegetables) is occurring in a number of other countries just now, including Austria, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the UK.
There must be a commonality to the recall, musn't there?
BBC is reporting the concern is with sweetcorn.
what about coles prepacked microwave broccoli ?
Supermarkets including Woolworths, IGA and ALDI have pulled packets of sweetcorn and frozen vegetable products from shelves.
Own-brand products for ALDI, including Market Fare frozen vegetables, are among those affected as well as bags of Essentials snap frozen mixed vegetables and Bell Farms steam veggie carrot, corn and broccoli bags, which are sold at Woolworths.
It doesn't mention Coles, but microwave broccoli bags from Woolies are among those affected so might want to hold off until a full list comes out.
Edit: Found a full list, seems Coles is safe.
This seems to be the full list from here:

I think I need to send this to a few people.
Over the last 2 weeks of farmers markets I purchased veggies that can be frozen .. chopped them up and put them in the freezer, I have fresh organic veggies till the markets are back in a few weeks.
Supermarkets are not the places to buy fresh produce.
The biggest surprise for me was that we're importing Hungarian corn.
It's actually depressing how much of what products we import. Effectively our pay rates are so expensive and uncompetitive that it's cheaper to grow it, pack it, ship it half-way across the world, and then sell it, than sell our own produce.
Hungary's per capita income is US$16k, compared to US$59k here. With differences so great there's a large pool of people to tap for a few dollars per hour.
A relative of mine works here and in China, and sometimes laments how much people earn here and how uncompetitive Australia is. I asked her if she would be happy with a 50% or more pay cut so she can be 'competitive' too. Oh no, no way! Was her answer. We want everyone else to earn less…
@Cluster: Unfortunately there're only a few long-term options unless the trade war between the US and China spreads and we see a widespread reversal of globalization (and that would be even worse for most people, because we'll have same income levels but electronics and white goods will probably skyrocket in prices):
Improvements in productivity by way of automation, etc - so that 1 person earning $60k here can do the job of 4 people earning $15k each overseas. Of course, this also means 1 person will be doing the job of 4 before, so we now have 3 unemployed people.
Better quality - e.g. Australian oranges are so in demand we're now exporting them and importing Chinese ones for domestic consumption, but there's a limit to how "high quality" fresh produce can be, unless we get into novelty stuff like cube fruits like they have in Japan (which sell for hundreds of dollars (not yen, dollars) each.
Give up on these industries and move into higher paying/higher educated industries like tech/sci/finc/other service industries - but this runs into the hard limit that regardless of education, the distribution of intelligence won't change and you'll need manual jobs for.. well, to put it bluntly, the dumber ones among us.
@Cluster: @HighAndDry: There are two things we do well. Really well, on a world scale. Coal and iron ore, with education being a significant third. Those three categories represent almost 39% of our exports.
@Cluster: @Cluster: I feel like we should really invest in iron smelting and steel production - since I think we export both coal and iron ore to China…. which they then use to do that exact same thing. We'd be able to retain (create?) a manufacturing base as well as keep more profits here, and lower our reliance on China.
I got one of the vegetables bag from Aldi. My wife made lunches for this week with these vegetables, she had to throw them all because of this. Better safe than sorry.
can return them for refund next time you shop, and draw skull & crossbones on them while it waits in your freezer in the meantime
Do you cook / steam your veges like most people do? You'll be okay.
If you are eating your frozen veges raw, you might get sick, then again, you might not.
http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/publications/Pages/listeriab…
It's a very low risk for most of the population. The at risk groups are the very young, elderly, pregnant or immune compromised.
The pulled frozen products are imported. We always buy frozen Australian veg from Coles or Woolworths. Check the label. We haven't bought any frozen stuff from Aldi for a long time. Note NZ doesn't cut it - it's a back door for from China.
They should just mark them down and sell , it's still a bargain.
There's nothing on Heinz is there?
I typically get theirs.

ABC news article about Strawberries sold in Woolworths found with sewing needles embedded inside
Affected brands: Berry Licious and Berry Obsession purchased since the start of last week in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria to throw them out.
Queensland chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young has advised anyone who bought two brands of strawberries — Berry Licious and Berry Obsession — since the start of last week in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria to throw them out.
Obviously Dr Young is not an OzBargain member.
The correct, OzBargain advice, is from Woolies.
"Customers are advised to return these products to their local Woolworths for a full refund," the spokesperson said.
04, November 2018 – Capitol Chilled Foods Australia (CCFA) is undertaking a recall of some Canberra Milk Full Cream fresh white milk products manufactured between Monday 22 October 2018 and Thursday 1 November 2018 at its Griffith dairy site in the Australian Capital Territory.
The recall of the Canberra Milk Full Cream 1L, 500ml and 300ml products is being undertaken as a precautionary measure, following routine internal testing which showed a faulty seal on some of the black caps. The broken parts of those faulty caps may be found in the milk and may have the potential to be a choking hazard, if ingested.

Not the biggest concern unless you're allergic to milk but anyway
RECALL⚠️: Ingham's Enterprises Pty Ltd is conducting a recall of Ingham's Turkey Breast Roast. The product has been available for sale at Woolworths stores in NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and NT from 19/03/2019.
Ingham's Turkey Breast Roast, 1kg, cardboard box which is best before 01/10/2020, is being recalled is due to incorrect packaging (Turkey Thigh Roast was packaged incorrectly in Turkey Breast Roast packaging) which has resulted in the presence of an undeclared allergen – milk.

Worth checking your fridge if you've recently bought any of these brands - from the ABC News website this morning: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-14/milk-recall-coles-pau…
Eight popular milk brands sold in supermarkets across Victoria and southern New South Wales are being recalled over fears a cleaning solution made its way into the batch.
Dairy company Lactalis Australia announced the recall of one-litre Coles, Pauls, REV and PhysiCAL milks because they could have been contaminated by a food grade dairy cleaning solution.
Food Standards Australia warned the milks could have a yellowish colour or a metallic chemical taste, or both.
Shoppers who have bought the milk have been advised not to drink it and return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
The milk was sold at Coles, Woolworths, IGA and independent supermarkets.
In a statement, Coles said supermarkets in the NSW locations of Lavington, Deniliquin and Albury were among those supplied with the potentially contaminated milk.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand said it was a food safety issue and anyone concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
What's been recalled:
Pauls Smarter White Milk, expiry dates June 25, 26 and 27
Pauls Full Fat Cream Milk, expiry dates June 26 and 27
Pauls PhysiCAL Skim, expiry date June 27
Pauls PhysiCAL Low Fat, expiry date June 26
Pauls Rev Low Fat, expiry date June 28
Coles Lite Milk, expiry dates June 25 and 26
Coles Skim Milk, expiry date June 25
Coles Full Cream Milk, expiry dates June 25 and 26
Thanks for sharing.
As an aside, if we weren't aware, obviously the 'Coles' branded milk sold for $ is processed through the same factory as the 'Pauls' branded milk sold for $$$.
Jee, that's an expensive Pee! Literally
Did you grow up drinking from the wrong source?
@orangetrain: Haha, I thought the same thing when I read that comment but thought there is no way that someone doesn't know where milk comes from.
Wow, tough crowd!
I got negged for a bad joke. Or should I say a tasteless joke ;p
Maybe it's a way to get consumers to come to that conclusion without actually saying it.
Screw over Pauls and push their own product with higher margins, all done without breaching any confidentiality agreements.
Should televise the recall campaign on prime time TV.
Whoever came up with the idea deserves a raise.
Except that Coles has recently entered into agreements with dairy farmers for direct supply of milk, bypassing the processors, from 1 July.
Haha good catch I forgot to put the two and two.
Just reiterates my thought that the difference between home brand and some slightly more expensive brands is just how much lighter it makes your wallet feel.
More and more product recalls. Time to move to a farm and live off the land.
More product recalls does not necessarily mean more faulty products.
It just means more faults are detected.
There was no recall in London when a burst sewage pipe contaminated a burst fresh water pipe.
There's no one doing any testing to farmed goods for personal consumption either. Could be rife with contamination leeched from elsewhere.
No one at the factory noticed the milk was yellow…
RECALLED MILKS:
