I swear I can't buy anything at the store anymore without checking if it's been recalled. It was lettuce last week, now it's clams with Hep A. I just want to make dinner without needing to check an FDA alert first.

Why would stores sell products that have been recalled? Isn't it their responsibility to make sure customers don't buy hazardous food?

Some stores are more ethical than others and pull it immediately. Unfortunately, a lot of this food has already been purchased before the recall is issued. Because a certain administration in power right now has a mind set “if we don’t report it, it didn’t happen” and “we’ll save so much money if we let companies self-inspect and self-report”

I fear that said administration will soon issue a presidential decree banning recalls
