Hmmm
This is beginning to appear too coincidental that too frequently we are having a variety of foods and drinks recalled.

I am wondering if they just don't want us to trust our food that we eat or they don't want us to eat certain things.

Idk but too much recall is going on lately. Just my opinion

I've noticed that, specifically with oats, the quality control has gone way way down. My early years of life, I never found oat husks in my oatmeal. Now, no matter what brand, there seems to be oat husks in every bowl. I suspect that a lot of it is coming in from countries where they don't have the same quality control standards that we do. Throw in the fact that oats are one of the more affordable foods, and yeah, I think that the people producing oats are less worried about people's health, whether those producing the oats or those consuming them, and more concerned about their bottom line. When you cut quality controls in food- that's when recalls happen.
