Nobody wants to find out their favorite food has been recalled — it happened to me just a few weeks ago. I was getting ramen with some friends, and there was a sign on our table stating there’d be no eggs. I was heartbroken. Absolutely shattered. And to think it could have all been avoided, if I’d only known that my beloved eggs put me at risk for bird flu.
There are plenty of ways to get the latest news on food recalls, one the easiest options being searching on TikTok. Looking for some news in the middle of your doom-scrolling? Interested in staying up-to-date on the latest food news so you can avoid any bird flu surprises next time you get food with your friends? Look no further. There’s a wide variety of qualified food and culinary experts and medical doctors specializing in food science who post the latest updates on TikTok so you can stay informed on recalls in your area. Don’t use TikTok as your sole news source, though. Food recall news can be found on the FDA and USDA websites.
