This seriously sucks since I love M&M's with peanuts and have 3 snickers bars in the house as we speak! It really makes me mad that filthy, greedy manufacturers do not give a darn about what they feed us.

Not so sweet: M&M factory closed for mice, fly infestation
June 30, 2006
BY LISA DONOVAN Staff Reporter
The M&M Mars candy factory on the city's Northwest Side was closed Thursday by the health department after the sweet treats drew uninvited guests, including fruit flies and mice.
The factory at 2019 N. Oak Park, in the city's Galewood community, had been warned after a June 21 inspection showed an "infestation" of fruit flies in the food production area as well as gaps in doors that might allow rodent access to the facility, officials said.
The earlier inspection was prompted by a call to the city's non-emergency 311 line, said Tim Hadac of the Chicago Public Health Department. The caller said there were roaches at the facility that produces not only M&M chocolate, but also Snickers bars and other candies.
Thursday's follow-up inspection showed no action had been taken to fix the problem and the factory was shut down. In addition, inspectors found mouse feces in the food processing area and noticed several food items were stored on the floor instead of elevated, as required.

My daughter works for a commercial property management firm, and you wouldnt believe the stories she tells us about some of the resturants she helps to inspect.
All I can say is, YOU WOULD BE SICK IF YOU HAD A GLIMPSE OF A CHINESE RESTURANT KITCHEN. She swears she will never order carryout food from any of them!   |

| Yuck, I'll never eat another candy bar the rest of my life! I guess home cooking is the only way you can truly know exactly what you are eating. But.......I just remembered something gross. Years ago, I was at my Mom's cooking a pot of homemade chili. She was out of chili powder so I went to the neighboorhood store and bought a small can of it. I thought it felt kinda light but did not think anymore about it. When I got back to Mom's I opened the can, looked inside, and about passed out! There was a can full of cockroaches and the chili powder was gone! The only thing I could figure was that there were cockroach eggs in the powder, they hatched, and then they ate all the chili powder, then died. Yep, we need puek emoticons cause I'm feeling that way right now, yuck, yuck, yuck! Wish I had not remembered that! |
