Had a pound of unopened Cal-Organic in the fridge. Tossed.
Now, Tom’s of Maine (Colgate-Palmolive since 2006) has found several of their products have been made with bacteria contaminated water.

Here’s a running list of all Costco recalls.
It’s fairly common to manifest within a few hours for most bacterial food poisoning. Viruses like norovirus can take a day or three to get roaring.

Blame it on the carton printing vendor?
But… anyway, I get that regs are regs, but is there anyone in Texas with a dairy allergy who doesn’t realize butter comes from diary?

Not food but you put it in your mouth. I use this product but have to change now. It use to be a very good product before Colgate bought it . After that it got watery and wasn’t the same. Mostly it didn’t assault your palette like the weirdly sweet and nasty mainstream brands. Now it’s contaminated by black mold.

I visited Tom’s of Maine HQ in 1999 as a tour guide/conductor/interpreter/driver for a group of 3 students and a professor from Ogaki Women’s University of Gifu. Japan. The group was studying environmental issues.
I escorted the group from the point where they entered the US in San Francisco and then to a university in Berea, OH (a suburb of Cleveland), then to an activist organization in New York City, a factory tour of Ben & Jerry’s in Burlington, VT and then to Tom’s of Maine (via a flight to Boston where I drove them to Maine).
Every place we visited was interesting and our hosts were welcoming and informative. It saddens me that Ben & Jerry’s is now part of the colossal Unilever empire and that Tom’s of Maine is part of Colgate. I’m sure the group would be just as saddened if not more.

The anise flavored toothpaste was a favorite of the roomate. It has been gone for years.
