Seriously. Here's the deets, but boutlism will kill ya. The whole entire reason that you can look at canned food and go "eh, it's probably fine" is because botulism didn't really exist in our supply chain. Until now? I guess? Go USA! www.eatthis.com/tuna-recall-... - ThreadSky

Well fuck.

There is a video on yt from someone who claims this has been researched. Apparently if you use citric acid and have whatever you’re putting in oil absorb it, it won’t come to botulism bc the acid counteracts any bacteria tryin to from in those oxygen bubbles inside the oil.

I’ve been looking into infusing oil with garlic bc of stomach issues and it’s frequently warned about. And this goes for various things, not just tuna or garlic.

I don't even understand what the end game is here. Kill your own citizens for profit? What profit?

I guess we are going back to where 9 out of 10 doctors recommend Camel?

you didn't do your homework. The types (A, C, F) refer to the strain of the toxin

I'm trying to figure out how this has anything to do with what Meg said?

dirtbagboyfriend.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m so tired of this place

quadraticink.bsky.social•10 days ago

Definitely heed warnings and recalls. There are some tells that are useful too know - such as if the can looks like it has inflated, definitely throw it away, but botulism can be dangerous before it's obvious.

glassbottommeg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yup. Botulism is the one you can't always tell. Won't always have any obvious signs.

jimorian.bsky.social•10 days ago

Not quite the same topic, but it still boggles me that Botox is a thing. "Hey, we found what's probably the single most deadly substance on Earth, so let's inject some of it into YOUR FACE to slightly move a slider on some peoples' idea of attraction."

Still love that bit in Futurama.

"In small doses, botulism toxin tightens and tones the face muscles instead of killing you in the most horrible fashion imaginable!"

Christ, I was debating buying some tuna the other day. Guess it's a good thing I didn't

glassbottommeg.bsky.social•10 days ago

(though it is worth pointing out that there haven't actually been any deaths or anything yet, this appears to be purely a cautionary measure, so kind of unironically Go USA! I guess also)

glassbottommeg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wonder what else this applies to. Because like, uh. If this is a design flaw in the lid, it seems pretty unlikely they're the only company using that tech.

Ain't like most of these people make truly bespoke lines, they tend to be assembled out of shared components that most of the industry uses.

glassbottommeg.bsky.social•10 days ago

So I guess it's down to whether the issue is the lid itself, or the way the lid was being applied by their line. If they fucked up that part of their line, sure, isolated to just that factory but.

Hmmm. I would like more details.

ohthatraptor.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah hopefully it's a defect introduced due to a repair done incorrectly.

But if it was an intentional change that many others also went with...

ericbazinga.bsky.social•10 days ago

Looks like the defect's with the cans, not the tuna. A lot of tuna manufacturers also offer tuna in plastic tear-open pouches, so if you're still wanting tuna then get that for now
