‘Street Food’ has become the most quietly controversial show on Netflix

On any given day, it seems there are as many people angry with Netflix as there are subscribers.

Obvious hotspots for controversy, such as cancellations, political documentaries, and 13 Reasons Why shenanigans, receive coverage from the press and, on occasion, attention from Netflix directly. But there are also subtler debates, the sort you won’t find discussed outside threads posted by passionate viewers. That’s where Street Food: Latin America, the latest project from Chef’s Table creators Brian McGinn and David Gelb, found itself after its July 21 release.

Miles, my incredibly curious 7-year-old, spent that same amount of

McCormick & Company has announced a major recall of three of their seasonings that could be potentially linked to salmonella contamination.

The Food and Drug Administration revealed that McCormick’s Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick Culinary Italian Seasoning, and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Ranch Seasoning are among the products that have been compromised.

Luckily no illnesses have been reported as of yet, the FDA stated.

A collective sigh can be heard amongst the Black community today. Spice brands like McCormick and the ever so delicious Lawry’s seasonings have been a staple in black households for centuries.
