Toxic Lead Exposure found in Affordable Housing Complex in Vallejo

Community Activists in All Positives Possible are sounding the alarm on a recent discovery shedding light on how residents were exposed to harmful lead in low income apartment housing. Sereno Village Apartments formerly known as Vallejo Office Complex was a dumping ground for toxic lead unfortunately they have built apartment complexes on those same dumping grounds for low income housing in historically disadvantaged communities.

Since then residents (which consists of mostly disabled, elderly, and single parents) have reported noxious odors, severe illnesses including frequent hospital/doctors visits, including a child being found with dangerously high levels of lead in the body, along with suicides & deaths.

On February 20,2025 All Positives Possible raised this issue with both the Water Quality Control Board & the Department of Toxic Substance Control questioning if any clean up or knowledge of toxic exposure had taken place the answer was no followed by a broken link being sent. All Positives Possible did not let up & continued to press for answers. The next day DTSC sent documents revealing Sereno Village did in fact have a clean up which took place under a different name accompanied by a neighboring store having an oil cleanup take place but it was allegedly a “closed site”.

This proves that despite DTSC & the Water Quality Control Board denying involvement a cover up had taken place.

Popular Food Brands Recalled due to rodent feces, urine, and salmonella risk

In late December 2025 and into January 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversaw one of the broadest food and consumer product recalls in recent memory after inspectors found extensive rodent and bird contamination at a large distribution facility operated by Gold Star Distribution, Inc. in Minneapolis. The unsanitary conditions — including rodent excreta, urine, and bird droppings — raised concerns that products stored there may have been exposed to harmful bacteria such as Salmonella or Leptospira. Federal officials classified the recall as Class II, indicating that while serious health issues are unlikely, exposure could still cause temporary or reversible illnesses. (The Economic Times)

Among the nearly 2,000 products pulled from shelves were a host of well-known food brands that many households recognize. Snack favorites like Skittles, Pringles, and Nerds candies appeared on the list alongside breakfast staples like Cheerios and Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. In addition, popular beverages including Coca-Cola, Gatorade, and Arizona Iced Tea were affected, as well as pantry items such as Heinz ketchup and Crisco oil.

The inclusion of these high-profile names underscored widespread consumer concern about product safety and food chain oversight.

The recall wasn’t limited to just snacks and drinks; it also encompassed a wide array of non-food items and other groceries, spanning pet foods, toiletries, over-the-counter medicines, and household products. While no illnesses have yet been definitively linked to the contaminated goods, public health authorities are urging consumers who purchased any listed items to destroy them immediately and to contact a physician if they experience symptoms consistent with foodborne illness. Retailers, too, have been instructed to remove recalled goods from inventory and work with Gold Star Distribution on refund procedures. (People.com)

The incident has reignited discussions around supply chain safety and the importance of stringent sanitation standards at storage and distribution centers. As regulators and industry stakeholders assess the fallout from the recall, experts emphasize that vigilance at every step — from warehouse management to retail shelves — remains critical in protecting public health. Consumers are encouraged to check FDA recall notices regularly and follow guidance on disposal and refunds for affected products. (mint)

Again? Over 80 thousand shrimp recalled due to Radioactive Contamination

Remember the previous recall of radioactive shrimp a while back?

This time over 80 thousand shrimp with best by dates of April 22 2027-April 27 2027 were recalled due to potential radioactivity exposure.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a large-scale recall affecting about 83,800 bags of frozen raw shrimp sold in stores across 17 states because of concerns the product may be contaminated with the radioactive isotope cesium-137 (Cs-137). The recall, announced in mid-December, covers shrimp imported from Indonesia and distributed under the Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro brand names.

The recalled products were sold in multiple supermarket chains, including Price Chopper, Jewel-Osco, Albertsons, Safeway, and Lucky Supermarket, spanning northeastern, midwestern, and western states. The recall follows a series of related shrimp recalls throughout 2025 tied to cesium concerns, reflecting ongoing scrutiny of imported seafood safety.

Consumers who may have purchased the recalled shrimp should check their packages for the following UPC codes and best-by dates before disposing of or returning them:

• Market 32 Frozen Raw Shrimp (1 lb) – UPC: 0 41735 01358 3 (best-by April 22–27, 2027)

• Waterfront Bistro Frozen Raw Shrimp (2 lb) – UPC: 021130 13224-9 (best-by April 25–26, 2027) Spokesman-Review
