Recalls Galore-- What's Up?

Scary to see so many recalls. At least I am unnerved. Especially about the cumin recalls:

Perhaps I should have been anxious about spices before these recalls. 

Perhaps I should have purchased  whole spices and ground them myself. 

Perhaps I never should have used cumin or chile or tumeric or curry --

Oh wait, I didn't. 

But even so, these recalls are scary, and although I never like to cross something completely off my list-- I am crossing off cumin. And other ground spices. 

  And, I may even stop using dried herbs and spices in general-- salt and pepper aside. 

  Years ago my mom told me " when in doubt, don't". Think it's good advice now in light of these recalls.
