Not sleeping because hubby and I are sick with flu like symtoms, so searched recalls. After what I found I can say hello to another sleepless night. Found a December 26 2025Gold Star Distribution Regulated Recall because:
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that the facility was operating under insanitary conditions, including the presence of rodent excreta, rodent urine, and bird droppings in areas where medical devices, drugs, human food, pet food, and cosmetic products were held. These conditions create a significant risk that products held at the facility may have been contaminated with filth and harmful microorganisms".
This is ba-a-a-a-ad. Contamination like this can be fatal. The first thing that came to mind was Betsy Arakawa (Gene Hackman's wife) died from Hantavirus via contact with rodent urine and feces which 'causes rapid, severe respiratory illness'.
December 26 2025 Gold Star Distribution Inc (FDA Regulateded) distributed over a thousand different products for animals, vet, supplements. cosmetics, drugs food & Beverages Med Devices, This is for Recall for Gold Star products like tons of brand name candy and bars, Jif Peanut Butter, Purina puppy chow, fancy feast cat, 9 Lives cat, Friskies, spices, gold medal flour, hunts sauces, Kraft products, Dole etc. My understanding is it affects only 3 us states (not califorina even though we have the product upcs listed).

How long have we been eating this crap? How many more distribution centers are like this. And I thought excessive washing of store brought products with hot water and soap was over . . .
Oh freaking great. Because that's JUST what Minnesota needed right now.
Thankfully my family pod doesn't shop at any places in the recall... and I take bleach wipes to everything as it comes in, so there's an extra layer of protection. (Just the number of people who handle the groceries before I get to them, and the shocking lack of illness prevention hygeine I see -- coughing right in their hands and touching things for cripes' sake -- I have no desire for that game of roulette.)
Still. Yikes for those it does apply to. And like you said, how many other places are like that, and we just don't know about it?
It NEVER ENDS! Now someone else wrote my third memoir, Intoxicated. This is the second time I have had to crawl thru hoops trying to to get rid of false info on my author and book page. Shirley Jackson? Who the F is she and what has she (an unknown to me) got to do with my past or my memoir? URRRG. These things keep me awake too.
I have no idea how this stuff gets linked, but Shirkey Jackson was an amazing horror writer. ("Was" because she died before I was born, can't recall by how much). She's had several film remakes of her stories... The Haunting (the one with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones in it, came out in the late 90's IIRC) was probably the most recognizable to broad audiences, though IMHO although it was a good movie, it was definitely a reinterpretation and not a faithful rendering. (Personally I liked the older adaptation better, but nothing can ever top the story as it was written.)
