The FDA sent out a few emails trying to catch-up folks on recalls that they were forbidden to share with the public for several weeks. Let that sink in, folks. Your new federal executive branch forbade the national health agency from sharing information with citizens for weeks endangering all of our lives. I'm not joking around any more on this blog. I want to protect you, but I have concerns now that I can trust organizations because of political agendas that have replaced science.
But you came here to learn how to protect yourself and loved ones, so let's get to the few chocolate related recalls that the FDA shared with me. FYI, I know that there were some other important chocolate related recalls since the new administration, but so far, the FDA is sending out that information even though they happened during the blackout period.
