Whole Foods shoppers deserve to be irate today after the grocery chain admitted a troubling mix-up that lead to the recall of two prepared salads. The affected products are the curried chicken salad and vegan curried "chick'n" salad, which, in 15 stores spanning across five states (Maine, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Massachussetts), "may have been sold with reversed labels" on May 7 and 8. ... Yup.

That means allergens were undeclared, so people with a soy allergy may have been eating soy in the vegan salad, people with an egg allergy eating egg in the chicken salad, and vegans being made unintentional carnivores. Wow. On a second thought, mix-up doesn't even begin to cover it!

Proof that meat isn't the only offender in the recall world and seemingly innocent veggies can wreak havoc just as easily: An outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul linked to imported cucumbers have made at least 81 people in 18 states sick, the CDC says. And that's a number that has risen since April 25, when there were only 78 illnesses being reported. Now 16 people have been hospitalized.

Also kind of dumbfounding: The first victim of the outbreak fell ill on January 12 and the most recent one on April 19. Of course, health officials aren't positive if there are unreported illnesses that started sometime last month. Grrreat. You really can't help but wonder what in the world is going on, and how are they going to get to the bottom of this.

Whether you're making chili or burgers, you may occasionally opt to buy ground turkey over beef. But you might need to think twice about that now. Consumer Reports is saying that any ground turkey you buy at the supermarket is laden with potentially dangerous bacteria.

Six things to know about the research ...

Gloria Chubb was making dinner like it was any other night and opened a can of Meijer green beans to pop in the microwave and serve up with meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy. She didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until her son pointed it out at the dinner table: Something that was definitely NOT a green bean had come out of that can ...

She told her local affiliate of CNN that she "thought it was maybe a piece of moldy bacon or something. Because they have bacon in them sometimes. I had it in my hand because I was trying to figure out what it was. And I took it out of there and it wasn't moldy bacon. It was a toad with parts of his little legs all in the green beans, other than that he was fully intact." Oh yes, it was totally an amphibian! Can you even imagine?!

Check your refrigerators, freezers, and anywhere else you may have stored some meat, because there's yet another huge recall you need to know about. The products are from Manda Packing Company, and it now includes 468,000 pounds of meat.

It's being recalled due to possible bacterial contamination from Listeria monocytogenes. While there haven't been any reported illnesses, this is something you don't want to mess with. So here's what you need to know about this recall.

You know that big canned tuna recall we told you about last week? Well check your pantry again because it just got bigger. The tuna recall has doubled. Dang, just when you thought it was safe to have that tuna fish sandwich. Wednesday it was 22,500 cases recalled. Now it's been bumped to a whopping 51,000 cases. Zoiks! 

We're talking same brand (Bumble Bee) plus a new brand (Brunswick) and same problem (loose seals). Thankfully no related illnesses have been reported. YET. Here's the 411 on the expanded recall so you can make sure you're not caught in this widening net of unsafe tuna.

Once upon a time, seekers of affordable Swedish-made furniture could count on a nice sit-down snack at the end of a long day of shopping. Or even in the middle of a long day of shopping. Or at the beginning. The point is, once upon a time, you could go to IKEA, spend hours looking at bookcases and bedframes and lamps and a whole bunch of other things with names like ÖDMJUK and SMÖRBOLL and FLÄRDFULL secure in the knowledge that once exhaustion hit, you and yours would be able to refuel with a ridiculously cheap plate of meatballs or slice of cake or maybe just a simple hot dog with a refreshing lingonberry soda.

Times have changed, my friends. Times have changed. First, the horse meatball scandal. Then the poop cake caper. Now, a surprising/disturbing find in those tasty hot dogs. Want a hint? Turns out these dogs don't say "woof, woof."

Ikea is quickly gaining a reputation for becoming a place where you might want to think twice about dining. Not long after it pulled meatballs off its shelves in 13 countries because they were found to contain horsemeat, Ikea has pulled some almond cakes from all of its restaurants in 23 countries after a bacteria normally found in fecal matter was discovered them. Ugggghhh. Do we need to worry?
