A viral post about an Ohio Kroger pasta sauce recall had 340k shares, and the real recall notice was buried on page 4
Saw a post going around claiming a brand at Kroger in Columbus was pulling jars over botulism, and it had 340k shares by the time I looked. I tracked it back to the actual FDA notice and the recall was for one lot of sauce sold in three states, nothing like what the post described. The wild part is the share button is way easier to hit than the link to the notice, so the fake version keeps winning. How do you all get people to actually read the source before they share the scary version?

Doubt the fake version is really "winning" here, in my experience these scare posts burn out in a week and the sauce is back on the shelf. A recall for one lot in three states is about as small as it gets, and 340k shares mostly means people tapped a button, not that anyone changed what they buy. Take this with a grain of salt, but I'd worry more about the five year old jar in my own pantry than a single lot from Ohio.
