As a fun pro tip that I learned (pretty sure from @tkingfisher.com?)— if you’re traveling and don’t have a store membership, (local area code) + 867-5309 will almost always pull up an account. Got me $4 off laundry detergent on my trip!

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

I fell in love with apple history reading “The Botany of Desire” in college — it’s such an amazing mirror of American history writ large. I’m always reminded that “as American as apple pie” means an American story that began with immigrants carrying hope and trees across oceans.

I really shouldn’t be surprised by anything he says at this point, but a) I don’t think bragging about foodborne illness deaths is something he wants to do right now and b) of course we don’t have more measles deaths, it’s hard to die of a disease you don’t get because you’ve been vaccinated for it.

Re: PA: We can’t always determine cause of death if there are multiple problems. It’s like if a person overdoses while COVID+. Was the COVID incidental or did respiratory compromise make them more vulnerable to overdose? But… barring trauma, pretty rare for a newborn to die of a splenic rupture.

Seeing a lot lately on recalls (or lack thereof) — it’s important to note that number of recalls is a terrible metric. What matters is how many people get sick before you identify that you need a recall as well as how quickly you get the food off shelves. Also if the government compels recalls! ⬇️

Guys, something is going on in the market for lettuce. (HT @tker.co)
Line chart titled "This was the largest monthly decline in lettuce prices on record" shows monthly percent change in lettuce prices for U.S. urban consumers from 2006 to 2026, seasonally adjusted. Lettuce prices plummeted 16.4 percent in July 2026, the steepest monthly decline on record, following sharp increases of 16.4 percent in May and 6.5 percent in June 2026. This drop exceeded previous record declines of approximately 12 to 13 percent seen in April 2011 and early 2010, and contrasted sharply with the relatively stable 2018-2024 period when monthly changes typically stayed within 6 percent in either direction.

About a year ago, CDC removed FoodNet surveillance for cyclospora — but not for salmonella. Worth noting the amount of time it took to figure out the food (jalapeños) and supplier location (Sinaloa Mexico) in this outbreak compared to that one.
