On Sunday August 16th, Dreyers Grand Ice Cream recalled their Outshine Fruit Bars. It has been reported and confirmed that glass has contaminated a few of the bars.
Dreyers received a call from an anonymous source who reported that glass had been found in their Outshine Fruit Bars. “ Products affected include Outshine Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine and Black Cherry 6-Count 2.5 ounce Fruit Bars," the company said here, “No other Outshine products or varieties are impacted,” they said here.
Maya Wein, a 7th grader in Literary Arts, says, "I feel glad because it only impacted a few bars… [but] I also feel annoyed that the bars were impacted in the first place.”
Similar to Wein, Lit Arts 8th grader Alice Stewart says, “Mostly I just feel annoyed, because why is ANOTHER food product getting contaminated? Like, AGAIN??” Stewart is referring to other food like the cyclospora lettuce outbreak : here.
Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream stated to the ABC News, "While this is related to an isolated event, we have implemented additional controls to further strengthen our food safety systems, and are working closely with the FDA to enhance our food safety practices across our operations." Even though this was stated, no news of additional controls have been found yet. We still have no assurance that they have made a difference to the controls.
“Because of recent challenges like the Taylor Farms lettuce incident… It shows America is getting into dangerous territory. By the way, the FDA should be doing its job! But they're capitalists too,” said Lit Arts 6th grader Gigi Cade-Llopez.
Parker Brewer agrees, saying, “I feel scared because I just had one yesterday.” Thankfully, according to Dreyer's, “No illnesses or injuries to date have been reported.”
For the consumers, this means that they might be skeptical about their food products. President Trump's cuts have gone too far after firing 5,200 people from the FDA according to this source here. The Trump Administration can be linked to all of these contaminated food products.
