Hey all, Crips for Esims for Gaza has been purchasing E-sims for people in Gaza and need help to continue their advocacy!

We link them in our Hi Nay episodes but want to remind people to help out if they can and donate! They're an offshoot of the E-sims for Gaza program created by Mirna El-Helbawi, and allow you to, if you are overwhelmed by the E-sims purchasing process, streamline it.

You donate to Crips for Esims for Gaza, and they do it for you. Help these fantastic disabled activists if you're able!

Link in replies so Tumblr doesn't hide this!

🇺🇸recall of 86 different ready-to-eat items including sandwiches, snack boxes, pasta, and meal boxes after being linked to multiyear, multistate listeria outbreak🇺🇸

sold in arizona, california, nevada, washington, and possibly distributed to other states. sold at stores and food service locations including hospitals, hotels, vending areas, breakroom areas, convenience stores, airports, and airlines. sold under at least 3 different labels. investigations are ongoing.

quick reminder: listeria can take weeks to months to cause illness.

FDA outbreak investigation page : CDC outbreak investigation page

FDA publish date may 11, 2025

before I (rune) talk about the recall itself, let me back up a bit. if all you want is the recall list, the link is right there, or scroll down.

illnesses were reported as far back as 2023. investigations began in 2024, but the source could not be tracked down. FDA and CDC investigations were reopened in april 2025 after routine FDA inspection of fresh & ready foods revealed equipment contaminated with listeria. this delay is one reason why reporting food poisoning is so fucking important, and how going to a doctor helps protect others. cases of illness were linked together, but there was not enough evidence to figure out what sickened patients until now. listeria can be especially tricky to track down, because it can sicken people weeks to months after they eat contaminated food.

alright. back to the recall.

Fresh & Ready Foods is voluntarily recalling some ready-to-eat sandwiches and snack items sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. This voluntary recall is being initiated due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.  The voluntarily recalled products were distributed between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025 in vending and breakroom areas within corporate offices, medical buildings and healthcare facilities located in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. This voluntary recall is specifically limited to the products with the “Use By” dates from 4/22/2025 to 05/19/2025 as detailed below.

some emphasis mine. "ready-to-eat" means foods that do not require cooking before eating, which is why they often cause food poisoning.

this company has been sickening people at least as far back as 2023, but only products within these use by dates are being recalled. the food was sold labeled not just as "fresh & ready" but also as "city point market fresh food to go" and "fresh take crave away".

important: the FDA investigation notes that products may have been distributed and sold in other states. those four states are only where these products were confirmed to have been sold so far.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, a Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

listeriosis, which is illness caused by listeria, can be fatal.

Call a healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating the recalled foods. Pregnant women: Fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. Your illness may be mild, but Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns. Other people may have: Headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. ... Symptoms usually start within 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria but may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after.

(from the CDC investigation)

while no illnesses have been reported in the specific date range of food being recalled, 10 illnesses have currently been linked to this outbreak, and all 10 patients were hospitalized. the true number of people sickened by this outbreak is likely higher and potentially involves other states. the investigations are ongoing.

both the FDA and CDC recommend you throw out the recalled food and clean any surfaces the recalled food may have touched, including refrigerators. listeria can survive and grow in refrigerators.

the recall announcement includes how to get a refund.

examples of the packaging of the three recalled labels. images are cropped by me to better display on tumblr.

and now for the giant fucking list of recalled food, typos and all. for the sake of keeping this readable because tumblr does not let me add tables: size, item number, container type, and use by date are excluded. check the recall page for that information, more product images, and more complete information about this recall.

remember: contaminated food may have been distributed and sold in the US beyond just the 4 currently confirmed states, and the locations of currently confirmed patients on investigation pages are NOT comprehensive lists of where people are at risk. a lot of people just look at the maps in the investigation links and consider them comprehensive despite what the text actually says. do not do that.

bookmark the investigations if you want to keep up with updates. I will also try to add updates in reblogs.

FDA outbreak investigation page : CDC outbreak investigation page

reminder: I do not post about every recall or foodborne illness outbreak, even just those in the united states. there are WAY fucking more recalls than the very few that I wind up posting.

check out the beloved, ugly, and half-broken recalls.gov for more links about recalls in the US. recalls are issued nearly every single day.

stay safe and take care!

Donate!!!!!! Boost!!!!!

While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.
