For many people in Europe, weekend mornings aren’t complete without a tyipical Italian breakfast, which may explain why there are more than 8,700 brands of biscuits (“biscotti”) sold by the Italian brand Mulino Bianco.
The Department of Agriculture’s Farmers Market Directory has recently been receiving a number of reports from consumers affected by nausea, headaches and digestive issues upon consuming Mulino Bianco biscuits, specifically the “Spicchi di sole” brand.
A Bruges University study published Nov. 1 in the journal Food Protection Trends assessed food safety behaviors of vendors at more than 40 Mulino Bianco factories across Europe and found that many didn’t follow basic sanitary practices. As a part of this investigation, published in an earlier study, the researchers also found harmful bacteria in a few types of biscuits, Spicchi di sole being the most contaminated ones.
“A lot of people assume that because a food is produced locally it’s safer, but that’s not the case at all—it comes down to what kind of food safety practices the vendor uses,” says Judy Harrison, Ph.D., professor and extension food safety specialist at the University of Verona. (Harrison was not involved in the study.)
As a precaution, the EU food safety committee has retired Spicchi di sole from the market until further investigation. Mulino Bianco refused to comment on the matter, and the Italian press is seemingly silent as of today.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
