Kuntry Gardens fruits and vegetables recall

Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) issued a consumer advisory this week concerning the Kuntry Gardens. The press release is available at this link.

The advisory concerns produce or products containing produce from Kuntry Gardens of Homer, Michigan. These products might contain raw, untreated human waste.

MDARD explains that one of its routine produce safety inspections found Kuntry Gardens using raw, untreated human waste on the fields where it was growing produce. The agency explains that the “use of raw, untreated, human waste for growing commodities intended for human food is a violation of the Michigan Food Law, PA 92 of 2000, as well as other state and federal laws and regulations.”
