More Giyuu and Mitsuri! for Knyrarepairweek. This time it's from Mitsuri's perspective!

Mitsuri could be a comforting presence to Giyuu, but I think Giyuu's simple honesty through his actions would comfort her as well.

🇺🇸recall of chicken fettuccine alfredo sold nationwide at kroger and walmart due to deadly listeria outbreak, multiple deaths reported🇺🇸

as a reminder, listeria can take months to cause illness after eating contaminated food.

it is currently unclear if a specific ingredient is contaminated or if there might be further recalls. I will update everyone when this information becomes available, and with any further updates. but if you have these in your fridge or freezer, clean and sanitize anything it may have touched, and keep an eye on your health.

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/freshrealm-recalls-chicken-fettuccine-alfredo-products-due-possible-listeria

WASHINGTON, June 17, 2025 – FreshRealm establishments in San Clemente, Calif., Montezuma, Ga., and Indianapolis, Ind., are recalling chicken fettuccine alfredo products that may be adulterated with an outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Out of an abundance of caution, the company is voluntarily recalling all products produced prior to June 17, 2025, that are available in commerce under the following brand names.

ALL lots of food produced before june 17 2025 are being recalled. if you have these in your fridge or freezer, you are affected.

The following ready-to-eat products were shipped to Kroger and Walmart retail locations nationwide [view labels]:     -32.8-oz. tray packages containing “MARKETSIDE GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH FETTUCCINE Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken and Shaved Parmesan Cheese” with best-by date 06/27/25 or prior. -12.3 oz. tray packages containing “MARKETSIDE GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH FETTUCCINE Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat

-Chicken, Broccoli and Shaved Parmesan Cheese” with best-by date 06/26/25 or prior. 12.5 oz. tray packages containing “HOME CHEF Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with pasta, grilled white meat chicken, and Parmesan cheese” with best-by date 06/19/25 or prior. 

The products bear the USDA mark of inspection on the product label as well as establishment numbers “EST. P-50784,” “EST. P-47770,” or “EST. P-47718” printed on the side of the packaging.

some emphasis mine. the brand names are marketside and home chef, sold nationwide by walmart and kroger. their packaging labels are at the top of this post.

FSIS and public health partners are investigating an outbreak of Lm that currently includes 17 ill people in 13 states. As of June 17, 2025, there have been three reported deaths and one fetal loss associated with this outbreak. The outbreak strain of Lm was isolated from ill people on dates ranging from August 2024 – May 2025. The same outbreak strain was isolated from a routine chicken fettuccine alfredo sample collected by FSIS in a FreshRealm establishment in March 2025.

...

The subsequent investigations at the establishment that produced this product, and into the product ingredients, have not identified the source of contamination.

...

This investigation is ongoing. FSIS is sharing what is currently known regarding products associated with the outbreak as the agency continues to work with public health partners to identify whether a specific ingredient in the chicken fettucine alfredo may be the source of this strain of Lm.

some emphasis mine. I cut out some parts about sick people confirming they ate chicken fettuccine alfredo. routine inspection linked a contaminated sample with cases of illness, and sick people were interviewed.

as of june 18 2025, there have been 17 cases of illness from 13 states linked to this outbreak. the true number of people sick is likely higher, and the number of states with currently linked illnesses does NOT represent all of where these products were sold. products were sold nationwide. reported illnesses were dated from august 2024 to may 2025. it can take months for listeria to cause illness, followed by weeks for an illness to be linked to an outbreak. there have been three deaths and one fetal loss, as listeriosis infection is especially dangerous during pregnancy.

the contaminated ingredient has not yet been identified and there may be further recalls related to this outbreak. I will update everyone when there is more information available, so check the notes or keep up with the FSIS USDA link.

Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, people outside these risk groups are affected. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. People in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

some emphasis mine. it can take up to TWO FUCKING MONTHS for listeria to cause illness, and that illness can be deadly. listeriosis is treatable with antibiotics. please seek medical attention if you are high risk, have eaten the recalled chicken fettuccine, and experience any suspicious symptoms up to two months after eating it. in some cases antibiotics may be prescribed before potential symptoms show up.

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

return them or throw them out!

for more information, check the recall announcement.

and if you experience any issues with food in the united states, PLEASE report it. US or not, reporting issues with food saves lives.

stay safe and take care!

random anecdote for father's day: one time during a long car ride my dad asked me, "you're familiar with Murphy's Law, right?" and i was like "isn't that the one about how anything that can go wrong will go wrong?" and he said "yeah, exactly" and i said "why do you ask?" and he went "well, have you heard of Cole's Law?" and i said "no, actually, what's that?" and he said "it's mostly lettuce and carrots with a little dressing mixed in"

I like the idea of a Vulcan character who constantly does very reckless things so her human crewmates think she's strange but then she always has a logical explanation she delivers with absolute confidence.

"No, it was perfectly logical for me to jump out of the shuttle at that time. I had a breathing apparatus, and I was certain I could seal the subspace rift by hand before the Romulans opened fire. This was the only solution that would result in zero casualties. I might have died, but giving up is illogical."

She's known as one of the most fearless members of the crew.

Other Vulcans try not to acknowledge her.
