A grocery chain in Canada is recalling Dole brand fresh blueberries because test results have shown contamination with the Cyclospora parasite.

The move by Save-On-Foods LP comes after Dole recalled blueberries nationwide in the United States. Neither the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) nor the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have received any confirmed reports of infections as of June 25.

In Canada, Dole distributed the implicated blueberries in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and possibly nationally, according to the recall notice posted by the CFIA.

“Consumers should not consume the recalled products described below,” according to the recall notice. Check to see if you have the recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

“This recall was triggered by Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) test results. The CFIA is conducting a food safety … Read more

Transgender drivers say their safety concerns have gone unchecked. Now, Uber claims it’s listening.

On June 1, with Pride Month in full swing, Uber rolled out Right to Pride, an initiative designed to “empower a better experience for our LGBTQIA+ community, and particularly the transgender community,” according to the company’s website. While Uber had already created community guidelines that expressly forbid discrimination, as well as an in-app option to report it, the new initiative’s bulleted list of upcoming measures included changing the Uber app to allow “trans and nonbinary drivers and delivery people to display only their self-identified chosen first name,” as well as the establishment of a fund to help its drivers cover the costs of updating names and gender on legal IDs and records.

Delivery drivers have provided an essential service over the past year while boosting sales for third-party delivery apps such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, … Read more

Your annual reminder that just because a company slaps a rainbow on a product during Pride doesn’t mean it supports the community

During Pride month one year when I was in high school, I got my underage hands on a limited-edition vodka bottle — one of the ones with a rainbow label, its contents mostly gone. Even when the bottle itself was empty, I tucked it away in the back of my closet, and kept it there for years: at the time, my family didn’t know I was gay.

That little symbol mattered to me.

Now that I’ve been out for years, and have found the very acceptance and love … Read more
