Preppers’ PING!!
Hat tip to djf for the heads-up!
Thanks.
The article is actually wrong, in that there was a recall IIRC 2006-2007 for some kind of canned cheese sauce or chile... something like that. But I do remember that it was botulism.
About two weeks ago, I opened a lower cabinet door in the kitchen, this little storage space is very small. The minute I opened it, a quart glass container with a glass handle, fell out and hit the stone floor and glass went everywhere. I nearly cried - I had two of those glass quart containers and they are perfect for making instant milk and keeping it in that container with the glass handle. They have a rubber stopper and I've had those for years.
I went on Amazon to look for another one. Sure, found one, and it's well over $25. Couldn't believe it, I certainly didn't pay that those years ago. I didn't buy it. I looked at plastic containers and didn't want any of that.
At some point, I realized, except for the other glass quarter container I had, I had no quart containers. I looked on Walmart, and 12 - quart glass canning jars with lids was $10. The next time I was in Walmart, I got that box of glass quart jars. They don't have a glass handle, of course, but they are glass quart containers, 12 of them for $10.
Sometimes, you suddenly realize there is something you don't have that would be necessary or very good to have in a SHTF situation. Containers is one of them.
