Not a shitpost, but don't eat too much black licorice all at once, it can cause heart problems. Too much of the glycyrrhizin produced naturally in the plant's root that's used to make black licorice causes your kidneys to flood potassium out into your blood and it'll mess up the electrical signals in your heart. You have to eat like two bags a day for two weeks though.

Nordics: Good. More for us.

Too honest to be coming from this FDA

I know this a shitpost, because yet another food item legitimately has shit in it, this is now a constant problem in America.

I can only presume it’s because the workers are treated extremely badly, remunerated poorly, and the corpos face no consequences for apparently disgusting factories, and there’s no regulations?

There’s no reason this should happen in a modern factory, there should be three hand wash stations before a worker even gets close to the food.

“American food tastes like shit”

not surprised, american liquorice has a tragic lack of ammonium chloride

Liquorice allsorts were a fixture of my childhood. Haven't had them in decades.

Edit to add: I call the pelotons of road cyclists in their colourful sponsored jerseys 'The Liquorice Allsorts Crew'.

It tastes like shit and there is some evidence it even lowers testosterone. It has no redeeming qualities

I love black licorisse. This is a tragedy

Their actual quote is "recalled 100 tons for possible fecal contamination".

But it's not any more real than OP's image

Is the FDA announcing this, so I'm guessing the announcement is that somehow the licorice has been contaminated with uranium or something because they just keep escalating.

I want to stay in bed, eating black licorice.

More for me.

Current fda is so fucked they probably like black licorice.

Black licorice, despite comprising only 14% of the total licorice inventory, is responsible for over 50% of customer complaints.
