- Talk about unwanted food additives! Here are just two recent
- examples:
-
- -- Three weeks ago, a woman in Maine discovered a black
- widow crawling in her grapes. Since then, at least eight more
- of the poisonous arachnids have turned up in Southern California
- grapes shipped to New England, and both the Stop & Shop and Shop
- 'n Save supermarket chains have pulled the affected fruit off
- the shelves.
-
- -- Last week Heinz U.S.A. announced that it has recalled
- 12,000 cases of its strained vegetable-and-ham baby food after
- the discovery of bits of rubber in several jars. The company
- said the recall began about three weeks ago but was not
- announced publicly because the little black specks were
- harmless. Spokesman Harry Carroll said the particles "may have
- come in with one of the ingredients" but did not alter the
- product's "food grade."

- Bon appetit!
