I was told that spraying produce with vinegar when washing is a good idea in general. But I don’t know if that really helps.

Keeping up with these recalls is turning into a full time job. (I do not look at the news constantly.)

Anyway, I think there has to be an app that keeps up with recalls and stays current. Does anybody know?
There was a big recall romain lettuce. awhile back and I knew abut it before everyone. I think I saw it on the news. I forget. But what I do remember is that someone orders and picks up their food at walmart. They said when they sign up for that service they get notices from walmart about food recalls and knows when the stores know. So sign up for free and if you get a notice broadcast it on TOTV.
I'm too lazy.
