Blog Post CommentEven though the link in the blog post refers to adults without dependents and does not mention the Harvest Box, this is the correct link to send comments to the USDA about this program. Click the green "Submit a formal comment" button at the top of the page to let USDA Secretary Perdue know your thoughts on the proposed Harvest Box.

Blog Post CommentLeslie, has your son ever had a reaction to a food that wasn't properly labeled?
-
Blog Post CommentHe had a reaction to a cereal made by Van's that was labeled as safe for him, but I think it was a cross-contamination issue instead of a mislabeling. If he had a reaction to a mislabeled food, I don't think that it would occur to me to have the food tested. When he reacted to the cereal, I called and there was a cross-contamination risk for tree nuts that was not labeled, so I don't buy their products anymore.

Blog Post CommentOuch on the reaction, and good to know. It's also good to know there's a process in place for how to report foods that are mislabeled.
