Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.ComTroy Warren for CNT #FoodieJeni's Splendid is taking pre-orders for Strawberry Pretzel Pie — and this time, it won't sell out in mere minutes.It feels like an increasingly common predicament: Brands create a limited-edition item specifically to go viral, the plan works, and then people can't get their hands on it.

Foodie
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.ComTroy Warren for CNT #FoodieRaw flour can cause food poisoning, but two recent studies suggest most Americans either don't know or don't care.With foodborne illness, some foods are hammered into our heads as potential hazards. Be careful with those oysters. Make sure you've cooked that burger all the way through. Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.

The FDA Is No Longer Regulating What, Exactly, French Dressing Should Be

Foodie, ,
