First, it was our beloved Chipotle. And now, it’s everyone’s favorite overpriced coffee shop that could make you sick — twice over.
First, Progressive Gourmet, the company that makes the breakfast items for Starbucks, issued a voluntary recall last week for sausage, egg and cheddar cheese on English muffin breakfast sandwiches. A surface in the production facility for the sandwiches tested positive for listeria, a bacteria that can cause listeriosis, which can manifest itself as sepsis or meningitis. Listeriosis has about a 20% mortality rate, and can also cause miscarriage or stillbirth in pregnant women. The sandwiches were sold 250 stores across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas; they were packaged in a 6-ounce size and were marked with “Best Before: 07-AUG-2016.” Um…on top of the listeria, can we discuss how a sausage, egg, and cheese can be good for FIVE months? I think I’m gonna pass on these.
But I won’t be getting a “Cheese & Fruit Bistro Box” either. The supplier for the almonds included in the box also issued a recall last week, saying that “The almonds may contain undeclared cashews, which may cause serious or life-threatening reaction if consumed by people who are allergic or sensitive to cashews,” according to CNN. The boxes were only sold at Starbucks in Washington State.
No sicknesses have been reported in either recall so far, but I’m thinking I’ll just stick to my skinny Peppermint Mocha. .

Society has got it out for the basics.
If you can’t find a better burrito place than Chipotle or a better coffee place than Starbucks, you should really consider moving. Or you should spend less time at the mall.
I think I heard a bunch of white girls freak out
It’s funny how every person in the photo is white. I guess we really are basic
“I’m going to take an article and image that has nothing to do with race and then make it about race.” -That’s you. Stop it.
Plus, tall guy in the Steve Jobs starter kit could easily be Asian.
It was a joke. Guess y’all can’t take it.
Good joke. Because these days we all just need to be reminded more to look at skin color first.
You’re just not funny.
Because non-minorities obviously make up a majority of our population and are bound to show up more. Moron.
