replies:
Is the FDA announcing this, so I'm guessing the announcement is that somehow the licorice has been contaminated with uranium or something because they just keep escalating.
replies:
Liquorice allsorts were a fixture of my childhood. Haven't had them in decades.
Edit to add: I call the pelotons of road cyclists in their colourful sponsored jerseys 'The Liquorice Allsorts Crew'.
replies:
I want to stay in bed, eating black licorice.
replies:
not surprised, american liquorice has a tragic lack of ammonium chloride
replies:
Not a shitpost, but don't eat too much black licorice all at once, it can cause heart problems. Too much of the glycyrrhizin produced naturally in the plant's root that's used to make black licorice causes your kidneys to flood potassium out into your blood and it'll mess up the electrical signals in your heart. You have to eat like two bags a day for two weeks though.

Nordics: Good. More for us.

Too honest to be coming from this FDA
Their actual quote is "recalled 100 tons for possible fecal contamination".
But it's not any more real than OP's image
Black licorice, despite comprising only 14% of the total licorice inventory, is responsible for over 50% of customer complaints.

I know this a shitpost, because yet another food item legitimately has shit in it, this is now a constant problem in America.
I can only presume it’s because the workers are treated extremely badly, remunerated poorly, and the corpos face no consequences for apparently disgusting factories, and there’s no regulations?
There’s no reason this should happen in a modern factory, there should be three hand wash stations before a worker even gets close to the food.

Current fda is so fucked they probably like black licorice.
replies:
Unfortunately, these days it feels like there’s poison in almost everything, as if they’re trying to kill us faster.
-At least- The Netherlands, Sweden and Finland are taking an offense !
edit: the picture shows less than 0.25 serving
The chocolate one is also gross and weird and yet you end up eating all of it.

It's an acquired taste. Of shit.
replies:
It tastes like shit and there is some evidence it even lowers testosterone. It has no redeeming qualities
