Enhanced flavoring in chicken: Simple Truth or Fake News

Here is a blog post that I like. I assume she has done her homework, I came to the same conclusions, but called Kroger to ask what their “natural flavors” meant because I suspected that the “natural flavors” included MSG or some hydrolysed veggie protein that keeps me awake at night.  They told me they did not know, and could not find out so I stopped buying chicken with “natural flavors – up to 15% ha ha enhanced”.

It amazes me how the food industry mimics our current political system which has the tag line “I can do it, i don’t care whether it is good for you or not” .   Anyway, if you eat chicken, read this.

And from anothe whistle blower (class action suit against kroger for telling the Simple Lie instead of the Simple Truth, is this blog,  also, so similar to the political climate and the spouts of insane misinformation from the current administration, not the latest of which misquotes the New Testament ha ha, people better wake up. The Simple Truth may be Fake News.

Kroger frozen blueberries: Private selection

Last week I took back a large bag of private selection blueberries. When I opened to use them it was clear by their color they were not usable (they were not purple but blue — thus the antioxidants were spent which meant to me that the bag had been left somewhere in the store for a protracted period of time and then sent back to the freezer for me to purchase (haha)).

So I saved the whole bag, called Kroger the next morning, wrote down the persons name and time and date I called and the reason I called down on my recepit. So this week I went to exchange the bag which Kroger did graciously, but i forgot to inspect the bag before I put it in my cart….silly me, especially since I have called Kroger customer service many times about faulty packaging. So here goes again, I went to open the bag, and sure enough, at the top, there was a dime size hole in the packaging.

I should have taken the bag back and raised holy moley but i did not. Here, for anyone watching their produce from Kroger, are the photos of the hole, the UPC, and the expiration date and lot.
