Kroger just robocalled me based on our recent grocery buying data.

I would toss any deli meat and cheese you’ve purchased in the last ten days from a store that carries Boars Head. ---

I hope their specialty hummus dips are okay. ---

> [@Mighty\_Mouse](#): > > I would toss any deli meat and cheese you’ve purchased in the last ten days from a store that carries Boars Head. I won’t say you’re wrong, but why cheese? The plant involved doesn’t make cheese and no cheese is mentioned in the recall. You think cross-contam in the store from the slicer? Every Publix deli I’ve ever been to has different slicers for the meat and the cheese. ---

This sucks; food costs are skyrocketing as it is. ---

Couldn’t you/one take it back to the store where it was purchased and get a full refund? I know Kroger advised me to do exactly this. ---

That’s what I did for the deli meat I bought last Friday night (the 1st day of the recall.) It was turkey and chicken but I didn’t feel comfortable in case of cross-contamination and they had no problem taking it back the next day for a refund. ---

I guess it’s down to how confident you are in your supermarket’s policies being followed.
