Another example
A recent letter sent to “Dear Abby” and posted on Yahoo told of a young boy having a bad reaction to old pancake mix. This happened to me years ago; I had a very, very severe reaction to some. The woman’s letter mentions that she read about a case where a man died from eating outdated mix.
It’s really amazing how much we take for granted in our food. The more aware I get, the more organic I go, the more I am horrified and disgusted at what is offered to us as “food.” While pancake mix on its own might not seem that threatening—although I honestly have no idea what all goes into it, but I’m guessing as much crap as what’s in most non-organic/non-natural food these days—the fact that it can develop a fatal mold should perhaps be conspicuously labeled on each box.
Scary stuff.
