Bill Penzey, the controversial owner of Penzeys Spices, emailed his customers on Thursday to inform them hes been selling bad chicken soup base that needs to be recalled. He wrote:
"If you have chicken soup base from us please check your jars best by dates to see if yours has been recalled. The lot numbers are: 00139, 01839, 01049, SEP0820VAN, and OCT1420VAN. These were sold from 3.16.19 onward. If you have one of these jars, dont use it and see the instructions below for your refund.
We just needed to mail this notice to our customers who are chicken soup base buyers, but we mailed everyone because this recall affects a huge number of products that contain cooked chicken. Especially if you are cooking for the very young, the elderly, those who may be pregnant or those with weakened immune systems and have in your home products that contain cooked chicken that are ready-to-eat you should be checking the USDAs page on this recall here. The list is currently at 191 pages and is growing. Though there have not been confirmed cases of illnesses from these products, the risk is real. Dont take chances."
However, Penzey couldnt resist the opportunity to blame Trump for the contaminated chicken.
This also seems a good moment to point out the obvious in all of this and that is those saying deregulation is good for business and good for the American people are oftentimes really wrong, Penzey wrote. We never had to recall any U.S. made products in the Obama years or under Bush, Clinton or the original Bush either. Just saying.
Penzey is the owner of the Wauwatosa-based spice company known for sending out catalogs and emails insulting Republicans for being racists, a campaign that pre-dates the election of Trump. Penzey is now the leading spender on Facebook in support of impeachment of the president.
“we got so angry watching a Trump speech that we accidentally dumped about 200 gallons of Pine-sol into a batch of chicken soup that we knew was destined for middle America. They deserve it anyway as those rubes don’t know what is good for them.”
No, he is saying that because Trump deregulated the production of soup he was forced to sell contaminated soup.
So it’s the government’s fault that YOU put out poisoned soup base?
No you stupid twit - that’s YOUR fault, ALL YOUR fault and it seems Trump’s “deregulated FDA” still managed to catch your mistake that could’ve led to the deaths of many.
“We never had to recall any U.S. made products in the Obama years or under Bush, Clinton or the original Bush either. Just saying.”
Just a guess. Some of his long time employees, who knew how to operate the machines safely, were ICEd out of their jobs and the replacements were not properly trained.
That would be at least partially Trump’s fault.
I used to love going into Penzeys in Uptown Minneapolis. The scents from all the spices were intoxicating. So many different cinnamons and chiles. I was hooked. The employees were great too.
Then I got the ahole’s publication in the mail as I signed up for the catalog.
Bill Penzey is a blind no common sense social justice warrior jackass.
Better than Boullion soup base is my favorite. The Ham base with a pot of beans is good!
Wouldn’t it be nice to put samples from all his spices through a mass spec and look for icky things like pesticides and heavy metals and the like. I guarantee there would be things found. Some of that stuff comes from 3rd world countries that don’t control stuff very well.
TRANSLATION:
"As soon as we thought we could get away with shipping you contaminated products, we tried to!"
Bon Appétit! ...
HAH... More than likely they had Trump stickers on their cars in the parking lot and he fired them.
ICE has not raided Penzys.
we need a cool graphic for this guy
I did think he had unusually blue eyes.
He would then claim that was Trump’s fault too!
Suggested: His face alongside a blowup of the ingredients on one of the spice bottles, but altered to show that it may contain insect parts, rat droppings, etc.
LOL!
What an idiot. He obviously doesn't recognize that his State has priority over the FDA.
WISCONSIN FOOD PROCESSING AND FOOD SALES REQUIREMENTS FOOD SAFETY & LICENSING GUIDE
Our role is to ensure that foods made and sold in Wisconsin meet applicable state and federal food safety regulatory standards.
Snip...There are certain types of foods -specifically canned items and processed fish -that can only be made in a facility licensed as a food processing plant.
His State government bears first responsibility.
Chapter ATCP 74 local agents and regulation
ATCP 74.16 Enforcement and sampling.
I would be willing to bet he didn't need a license from the Federal government to start his business, only one from the State government.
Somebody needs to tell him that deliberately getting people sick (an assumption on my part, to be sure) to score political points is pretty despicable.
How could Trump have stopped Penzeys making bad spice products?
Do we need government presence at every food facility testing every batch because the companies can’t produce safe foodstuffs without big brother watching?
If they were there, he’d be b1tching about them being there watching their every move.
Certain its the russians.
Why don’t you write an op ed about this and submit it to a few conservative sites. Sounds like you could get a scalp.
Make your own soup base from chicken, fresh vegetables and herbs you can get at your local grocery. Freeze in plastic ice cube trays then wrap thee cubes in plastic wrap and store in the freezer. Pressure cooker makes this process quicker
Besides, I'm content with counting coup. I don't need scalps.
