Title:What Food is Safe? After Lettuce, Melon and Frozen Chicken Recalls, Here’s a List of Other Foods Flagged by the Government

The U.S. experienced a  nationwide romaine lettuce recall earlier this year after E.coli contamination led to the hospitalization of 89 and the death of five. However, lettuce is by far not the only food that has been recalled in 2018, which leaves us wondering what actually is still safe to eat?

今年早些时候，美国全国出现了一棵红柿生菜，之后大肠杆菌污染导致住院89人，五人死亡。然而，目前为止，生菜并不是唯一在2018年召回的食物，它让我们想知道，究竟还有什么安全可吃？

Food recalls occur when there is a discovery of an organism in a product that can make consumers ill. For example, in the case of the recent lettuce recall this was due to the existence of the bacteria E.coli in the lettuce. However, recalls can also occur when there is a potential allergen in the product or when there is mislabeling or misbranding of the food, such as the existence of ingredients that are not listed on the label,  FoodSafety.gov reported.

当产品中发现有机物使消费者生病时，就会出现食物召回，例如，最近的生菜回顾是因为生菜中含有大肠杆菌。然而，当产品中有潜在的过敏反应时，或者食物上贴上错误标签或贴上错误标记时，也可能出现召回现象，例如存在标签上未列出的成分，食物安全部报告称。

Other food recalls this year include a sliced melon recall on June 9 following the discovery of Salmonella contamination in some products.  Salmonella contamination can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in the very young and the elderly. So far there are 58 illnesses related to the recall that are under investigation. These products were distributed in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio,  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported.

其他回顾今年包括六月九日发现一些产品中沙门氏菌污染。沙门氏菌污染可导致严重的、有时甚至是致命的感染，特别是在年轻和老年人，目前有58种与正在调查的召回相关的疾病。据美国食品和药品管理局报道，这些产品分布在格鲁吉亚、伊利诺斯州、印第安纳州、肯塔基州、密歇根州、密苏里州、北卡罗莱纳州和俄亥俄州。

That same week, on June 8th, there was a recall of breaded chicken products from Tyson Food Inc. due to possible foreign matter contamination, the  U.S. Department of Agriculture reported. The exact type of foreign matter contamination was not revealed. There have so far been no confirmed adverse reactions to this product.

据美国农业部报道，就在6月8日，泰森食品公司(Tyson Food Inc.)生产的面包鸡制品因可能受到国外物质污染而被召回。未透露具体外国物质污染类型，迄今尚未证实对该产品的不良反应。

今年5月份，由于被怀疑是污染而召回了切瓜。

There was also a recall of specific flavors and container sizes of Country Fare ice creams and Creamy Creations sherbets in May after broken metal was discovered in the processing equipment. According to the  FDA, products affected by this recall were distributed to stores in Texas and Mexico, and all products related to the recall have been removed from shelves.

5月份，在加工设备中发现了破碎的金属后，国家法雷冰激凌和克里米创造者也记得具体的口味和容器大小。美国林业发展局称，受召回影响的产品已分发给得克萨斯和墨西哥的仓库，所有与召回有关的产品都已从货架上撤走。

May also saw a recall of some frozen broccoli cuts. The  FDA reported that these cuts may have been contaminated with the pathogen  Listeria monocytogenes. The broccoli was recalled after a sample tested by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection tested positive for the organism, but there were no illnesses related to this recall.

同时，也记得一些冷冻花椰菜切片。林业发展局报告说，这些切片可能受到病原体李氏单胞菌的污染。在康涅狄格州消费者保护局进行的一次抽样测试后，该花椰菜被召回，但该召回没有相关疾病。

Although it is impossible to completely avoid all food contamination, there are certain measures consumers can take to ensure that the products they buy in a supermarket are safe for consumption. This includes checking product labels to ensure that they are not out of date, simply looking over the food packaging to ensure that it is intact and not broken and avoiding pre-packaged products as the machinery involved with cutting, washing, and bagging these products increases the risk of contamination,  Health.com reported.

虽然不可能完全避免所有粮食污染，但消费者可以采取某些措施，确保他们在超市购买的产品安全供消费。这包括检查产品标签，确保它们不过时，只要检查食物包装以确保其完好无损，不致损坏，避免预先包装的产品作为与切割、清洗有关的机器，据Health.com报道，垃圾处理会增加污染风险。
