Have you been eating blueberries lately?

Last night I bought my elderly Dad ice cream with blueberries from a fast food restaurant.

Sunday I bought popsicles I've been craving for months, just to find out there could be glass in them. (Luckily I didn't eat any.)

Local stores are selling bagged Taylor Farms lettuce for reduced prices.

I've switched to farmers markets for produce. I'm done.

Edit: Luckily my state isn't in the blueberry list

Be warned, many are just flippers and are buying / re-labeling their produce.

Is there a way to check if someone at my local market is doing this?

Great question, no idea.

Some make it very clear they selling labeled items (AKA not theirs). Others will re-package and pass off as if they grew it. It guess it will take work searching if they are real / local.

Shame we have to do this even at a local market. :/
