Nursing Home Had 30 Percent of Its Residents Die within Days of COVID Vaccination

 On December 28 and 29, 2020, the Apple Valley Health Care Center in Apple Valley, MN vaccinated its entire senior population against COVID. Everyone was delighted that the nursing home residents were now 100% protected by the safe and effective vaccine. Within the next five days, every nursing home employee who was on Christmas vacation was called back to work early, to help deal with all the dead bodies.

This horrific tale has been covered up for the past three years now—and it’s not the only nursing home where this “weird coincidence” happened.

If there is one area where the vaccine fanatics should have been able to pat themselves on the back over this whole debacle, it should have been all the lives that the safe and effective vaccines saved in the nursing homes. After all, nursing homes were the main locations where people died of COVID over the previous year.

The nursing homes were so dangerous that Joe Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, B. Levine, took his own mother out of a Pennsylvania nursing home to keep her safe. Even independent journalist Alex Berenson believes that the COVID shots offered some limited, although short-lived, protection to people in the 75+ crowd.

This would be a really easy study for anyone to conduct. Just look at the number of COVID deaths in a nursing home in 2020 and compare the number of deaths in that same nursing home in 2021 after every resident was given the shot. It would be that simple. Easy-peasy. Kiss the girl, pop the champagne and take a victory lap. The shots saved grandma and grandpa!

 No nursing home in the country is willing to publicly release this data, however. If the CDC has the data, they’re not talking. Don’t you find that odd?

A whistleblower at the Apple Valley Health Care Center in Minnesota released that exact data to Steve Kirsch a few days ago. For those who don’t know Kirsch is a software developer and philanthropist who was injured when he got the COVID vaccine, and he’s been on a crusade against these dangerous and ineffective shots and corrupt healthcare officials ever since. Whistleblowers from healthcare facilities turn internal documents over to him because no one in the bought-and-paid-for press will cover this stuff. This is the first nursing home data that anyone has given to him in the past three years, and it’s been corroborated as authentic.

In 2020, before the vaccines existed, the Apple Valley Health Care Center had 27 reported cases of COVID among its 140 residents, and none of them died. Zero deaths in the nursing home with no vaccines. That’s impressive any way you slice it. They kept every patient with COVID alive, and they deserve credit for that at least.

BUT… once the COVID shots were administered, they had too many dead bodies to cope with after the first five days. Within three weeks of the injection days on December 28 and 29, there were 40 deaths out of 140 residents. A stunning 30% of the elderly patients just died all of a sudden.

In 2020, there were 27 COVID cases and zero deaths all year long. In 2021, they suddenly had 90 cases of COVID in that three-week span, and 28 of them died from COVID after being vaccinated. They had an explosion of COVID cases and one-third of them died after the vaccines were given to all of them. And this was a facility that obviously knew how to care for elderly COVID patients and keep them alive.

After the shots were administered, the number of COVID cases tripled and dozens died. The additional 12 simply died from “suddenly” after receiving the shots. The data is now clear across all age cohorts.

The COVID shots make it more likely for you to catch COVID, no matter how young or how old you are. The shots also drastically increase your chances of dying from COVID. That’s not safe and effective.

Steve Kirsch has called the Apple Valley Health Care Center multiple times to try to talk to someone about what happened. They keep hanging up on him. No wonder. Nobody wants to talk about this.

California City Harasses Rabbi for Hosting Religious Gatherings in His Home

 California City Harasses Rabbi for Hosting Religious Gatherings in His Home-August 11, 2023

by Jorge Gomez • 5 min read

We sent a letter this week on behalf of Rabbi Levi Illulian. The City of Beverly Hills, California, is harassing and trying to prevent him from hosting religious gatherings in his home.

In June, city officials sent Rabbi Levi a “Notice of Violation” letter prohibiting all religious activity with non-residents at his property. However, the city allows other social gatherings of similar size in the same neighborhood. While neighbors can invite their relatives into their homes for a card game or dinner party, the city singles out Rabbi Levi for inviting friends and family to pray or celebrate Shabbat. The letter also threatens Rabbi Levi with civil and criminal proceedings.

Our attorneys are asking the city t. We explain that Rabbi Levi has a right under the First Amendment and federal law to worship in his home.

Rabbi Levi believes he has a religious obligation to make his home a sanctuary for God and hosts a variety of gatherings throughout the week to meet the religious needs of his family, neighbors, and friends. He has lived at the residence since October 2022 and hosted gatherings for months without incident.

The Orthodox Jewish faith requires adherents to observe the Sabbath—the Jewish day of rest that lasts from sundown on Friday evening through nightfall on Saturday night. During Shabbat, members traditionally join their family and friends to recite prayers and for meals prepared in accordance with their religious beliefs. Because their faith teaches to “make the Shabbat a delight,” many members of the Orthodox Jewish community tend to gather at the home of a family member or friend.  Additionally, many Jewish congregants cannot work or drive during the Sabbath.

Some neighbors complained about “parking, noise, and trash filling up.” But our letter sets the record straight. We point out that Rabbi Levi strives to keep his gatherings intimate and only invites people into his home as guests, not the general public. He even instructs guests to be courteous to others in the community. On days when people drive to his home, he tells them to park further away in order to avoid inconveniencing the neighbors.

The city itself conducted an investigation and concluded the neighbor’s complaints were unfounded and closed its case. But that hiatus was short-lived. The city reopened the investigation and is once again targeting Rabbi Levi, all because a few disgruntled and hostile residents don’t want him living out his faith.

City officials engaged in multiple stakeouts of the home over many hours, something one would only expect to happen in Orwellian novels or serious criminal investigations. The city even tallied the number of individuals and cars coming and going from the residence and photographed guests.

What the city is doing is wrong and illegal. The home is one of the most sacred and protected spaces for the free exercise of religion. As our letter explains:

“Rabbi Illulian’s right to engage in religious exercise at his Home with family or friends, free from government burden and interference, is fully protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000.”

The good news is that we regularly succeed when First Liberty answers the call to defend people of faith from these attacks. Our record includes essential wins for clients such as:

• Congregation Toras Chaim, a small Jewish congregation that endured a five-year legal battle with Dallas, Texas, over alleged violations of parking regulations…even though members of the congregation do not drive on the Sabbath. First Liberty reached a settlement to secure a victory and stop the city’s harassment.
• Heimish of Houston, a Jewish congregation, gathered for worship in a neighborhood home. The City of Houston, Texas, tried to use zoning laws to stop them from worshipping. First Liberty filed a lawsuit pointing out how discriminatory Houston’s restrictions were—and now the congregation is free to gather for service.

It’s unconscionable when government officials brazenly discriminate against Americans because of their religious beliefs. It’s time for Beverly Hills to stop harassing Rabbi Levi and acknowledge that he’s within his legal rights to engage in religious activities in his home. He should be able to worship in peace with his friends and family.

 

Crypto Currency

 The Monkey Business analogy. 

A lot of monkeys lived near a village. One day a merchant came to the village to buy the monkeys. He announced that he would buy the monkeys for 10.00 each. The villagers thought he was mad. Still, some people caught a few monkeys and gave them to the merchant and he gave them 10.00 for each monkey. This news spread like wildfire and more people caught more monkeys to sell to the merchant.

After a few days, the merchant announced that he would buy monkeys for 20.00 each. Even the lazy villagers now ran around to catch the remaining monkeys and sold them for 20.00 each. Then the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys for 50.00 each.

Then the merchant said he was going home for a week and when he returned he would buy monkeys for 50.00 each. He asked his employee to take care of the monkeys he bought. The merchant went home and the villagers were very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell at 50.00 each.

Then the employee told them he will secretly sell them monkeys for 35.00 each. This news spread like wildfire. Since the merchant will buy monkeys for 50.00 each, there is a 1500 profit for each monkey. The next day the villagers made a queue near the monkey cage. The employee sold all the monkeys for 35.00 each. The rich bought monkeys in big lots. The poor borrowed money from money lenders and also bought monkeys.

The villagers took care of the monkeys and waited for the merchant to return. But nobody came. They ran to the employee. But he had already left too. The villagers then realized that they had bought the useless stray monkeys for 35.00 each and were unable to sell them.

I don’t know, but just like the villagers trading monkeys, scam crypto currency will bankrupt a lot of people and make a few people filthy rich.

 

Attention Fundraisers:

 Dear Fundraiser,

You called me for years; I was always responsive to your requests. It was habitual. Every year you called, every year I responded. A receipt was sent, I helped fellow Yidden, you were successful at your Job, I was doing my hishtadlus.

Hard times fell recently. You called. I didn’t pick up. You called again, I picked up and brushed you off. It’s Painful, super painful to say No. I’m hoping, or I say I was hoping that a professional like you will understand the lack of response and take as they say - the Hint. No, no hint taken.

You called again. Again. Again. Until I said outright I’m sorry I can’t give this year. All fine, right ? Out comes a letter stating that we have to be nice to you - the fundraisers. Fundraisers are just doing their job.

We should act like a mensch. Really? Want to act like a mentch? Take the social Que and understand that if somebody pushes you off a few times, that it might actually be a NO. Especially in these times. Especially if he always gave. Especially if you’re a professional and understand how to read people. After all, it is your job. My pain of saying NO is way more painful than you are receiving a NO.

It’s just your job to collect, it was my happiness and Simcha to have the ability to give. That simcha is not there now, albeit iy”h temporarily, but understand, truly understand, grasp it - a NO is not always necessarily spelled out as NO.

Supreme Court of New Jersey Opinions

 

New Jersey v. O’Donnell Docket: A-17-22 Opinion Date: August 7, 2023 Judge: Stuart Rabner Areas of Law: Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, White Collar Crime Defendant Jason O’Donnell was a candidate for mayor of Bayonne, New Jersey in 2018. During the campaign, he allegedly accepted $10,000 in cash in a paper Baskin- Robbins bag from an individual. The State argued that in exchange for the money, defendant promised to appoint the individual as tax counsel for the city. The State charged defendant under the bribery statute. Defendant did not win the election. He contended the applicable statute did not apply to him because it did not cover candidates who accepted improper payments but were not elected.          The trial court dismissed the indictment, finding that N.J.S.A. 2C:27-2(d) did not apply to defendant. The Appellate Division reversed.            The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed: the bribery statute applied to any “person” who accepts an improper benefit -- incumbents, candidates who win, and candidates who lose. The statute also expressly states that it is no defense to a prosecution if a person “was not qualified to act.”

All clothing purchased in frum stores must be checked for Shatnez by a qualified testers affiliated with the International Shatnez testers Association

 

בס"ד אב תשפ"ג Shatnez Warning Many instances of shatnez are found in garments produced and sold by Jewish-owned companies. As an example, Fino Custom Clothiers is a Jewish-owned retail outlet that produces and sells men’s custom suits in New York and New Jersey, including Monsey and Lakewood. Over the past couple of weeks, laboratory results have verified that two of its suit styles (pictured below) have all been found to contain shatnez. Obviously, one may not wear the pictured suits. Additionally, as with all Jewish-owned stores, all Fino Custom brand suits should be tested for shatnez before wearing. These incidents underscore the severe problem of assuming that shatnez cannot occur in garments produced by Jewish-owned companies.

Update: Checking for infestation on fruits and vegetables

Rav Shmuel Felder of Lakewood BMG does not rely on any of the commercial Hashgochas for infestation issues. 

Rav Felder only eats vegetables and fruit that was checked by his wife. Therefore she has many years of hands on experience. 

Check with her what works best, each leaf, Shmatah bedikah, both, etc.?

One of the most reliable proven methods for checking for infestation in fruits and vegetables is the Shmatah Bedikah or thrip cloth method. One washes the fruits or vegetables and pours the water through a fine mesh cloth, and then they check the cloth over a lightbox for any evidence of insects. If one is not trained in identifying insects, merely using the Shmatah Bedikah is of no value as a surgeon having a fully equipped operating room but not experience in the surgery.

The method described involves washing fruits or vegetables, filtering the wash water through a fine mesh cloth, and then examining the cloth over a lightbox for the presence of insects. This method seems very practical and helpful in examining and detecting small insects that might not be easily seen on the fruit or vegetable.

Using a light box, the insects caught in the cloth become more visible because of the contrasting background. This would make it easier to see tiny insects like thrips that might otherwise be hard to notice.

As pointed out, knowledge and training about insects that might infest fruits and vegetables is essential. Otherwise, one might not recognize an infestation even if it's on the cloth.

It's also worth noting that this method might only catch some infestations. Some insects could still be present in the fruit or vegetable but not be dislodged by washing so they wouldn't be caught in the cloth. Therefore, while this method can help detect specific infestations, more is needed for all situations or pests.

As with any method of pest detection or control, it's always a good idea to consult with professionals or experts in the field for advice specific to your situation and your local area. They can provide information about common pests, effective detection methods, and strategies for prevention and control.

 

Sprite Zero Kashrus controversy-עבידא לטעמה, דרכו בכך אינם בטילים

Sweet N Low sugar substitute puts it in for taste, according to food chemists it adds a distinct taste.

Tartaric acid can be added to beverages for a few reasons:

1. Flavor: Tartaric acid is a relatively strong organic acid and can contribute a sour or tart flavor to beverages. It's commonly found in grapes and bananas, and is one of the primary acids found in wine.

2. Acidity Regulation: It can be used to regulate the pH of beverages, which can impact flavor, color stability, and microbial stability. Acidity can affect how other flavors in the beverage are perceived, and can also inhibit the growth of certain microorganisms.

3. Antioxidant: Tartaric acid can act as an antioxidant, which can prevent or slow down oxidation, improving the shelf life and quality of the beverage.

4. Chelation: Tartaric acid can bind to metal ions that might otherwise cause off flavors or speed up spoilage reactions.

5. Stabilization: Tartaric acid is important in wine production for its role in the formation of potassium bitartrate crystals ("wine diamonds") that can be removed from the wine, thus preventing their formation after bottling. This makes the wine more stable and consistent.

So, while tartaric acid can impact the flavor of a beverage, its usage extends beyond just taste.

 

Sprite Zero was reformulated in certain Countries, i.e., Europe and South America, etc.

It contains Tartaric Acid, which is a derivative of Grape Juice.

Tartaric acid is naturally present in grapes and can be extracted from grape juice or grape pomace (the solid remains of grapes after pressing for juice). The extraction process typically involves clarification, filtration, and concentration.

To obtain tartaric acid from grape juice or grape pomace, the following general process is typically followed: Clarification: The grape juice or pomace is clarified to remove impurities and solids. This can be done through settling or filtration processes.

Filtration: The clarified juice is further filtered to remove any remaining particles or impurities.

Concentration: The filtered juice is then concentrated to increase the tartaric acid content. This can be achieved through various methods, such as evaporation or reverse osmosis.

Crystallization: The concentrated juice is cooled down, leading to the formation of tartaric acid crystals. These crystals can be separated from the liquid by filtration or centrifugation.

Purification: The obtained tartaric acid crystals may undergo purification steps to remove any remaining impurities.

Note: Halal bans fermented wine or derivatives, Grape Juice, etc is not fermented.

Coalition for Jewish Values- Regarding President Herzog's speech to Congress

But in that last quarter, he put the lie to the claim by the progressive left that they merely oppose "certain government policies." If those leftists in Congress only objected to certain policies of Israel’s current right-wing government, then they would have attended and applauded yet louder.  Herzog is a member of the Labor Party, a former left-wing legislator who would prefer Netanyahu fail in his quest to rein in Israel’s out-of-control Supreme Court. He highlighted the current street protests as reflecting Israel's democratic character. Others would describe them as an attempt by the secular left, defeated at the ballot box, to blackmail the rest of the country. So America's progressive left, those now trying to engineer a leftist takeover of the U.S. Supreme Court, should have proudly supported Herzog's message. His last several minutes at the podium also saw the only one-sided ovation, when many Republicans stayed seated, and much to their credit. President Herzog touted Israel’s tolerance when “the sound of the Muezzin calling to [Muslim] prayer blends with the siren announcing the Sabbath in Jerusalem…” while “one of the largest and most impressive” Pride Parades was happening in Tel Aviv. Sorry, but true tolerance does not require a celebration, and, not incidentally, would permit individual business owners to decline to support causes that violate their own beliefs. That sort of tolerance, of course, is lacking in many corners in both Israel and America today. The progressives boycotted, because they do not care what Israel’s policies are, even when they favor leftist causes. All they care about is that Israel is the one place in the Middle East that protects the rights of religious and ethnic minorities, including Jews. The loud applause in the hall was an open repudiation of their hate. So, all in all, it was a very good and helpful speech, and we look forward to being part of many more such events. Only with your partnership can we continue to expand and amplify our crucial voice. Thank you in advance for your support! Yours sincerely,

Rabbi Yaakov Menken

Discover meat-free protein alternatives

 Discover meat-free protein alternatives

By Mayo Clinic Staff 

When people think of getting protein in their diets, foods like meat, poultry and eggs often jump first to mind. That's because many people don't realize that other foods, including those that come from plants, are also good sources of protein.

So before you throw a steak on the grill, think about incorporating more plant proteins in your diet. Many plant protein sources contain plenty of fiber, little fat and an array of vitamins and minerals — without the higher saturated fats found in many meats.

Getting enough protein through plant-based foods

The recommended daily amount of protein for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 gram (g) for every 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) of body weight. So someone who weighs 165 pounds (75 kilograms) should get 60 g of protein a day.

Older adults should get slightly more protein — about 1 gram (g) of protein for every 2.2 pounds of body weight. In this case, a 165-pound person should get about 75 g of protein a day.

How does that translate into food sources? One 3-ounce serving of lean meat contains about 21 g of protein. Compare that with these plant proteins:

• Beans, peas and lentils. A 1/2 cup serving provides about 7 to 10 g of protein. Use beans in chili, tacos, black bean burgers, salads, dips and spreads. Green soybeans (edamame) work well in rice dishes. And peas and lentils are great in soups.
• Nuts and seeds. A 1-ounce handful provides around 3 to 7 g of protein. Reach for seeds or unsalted nuts instead of chips for a crunchy snack. Use soy nuts or slivered almonds as a salad garnish, or throw chopped nuts on your cereal.
• Tofu. A 1/2 cup serving of tofu has 10 g of protein. Use it in stir-fry, add it to salads, or mix it into smoothies.
• Hummus. A 1/3 cup serving of store-bought hummus has 6 g of protein and comes in versatile varieties like peanut butter or roasted red pepper.

What are some economical fish to purchase? Sides of Salmon at Aldi's with skin on, no kashrus concerns, rinse and use

The price of fish can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the region you live in, the current season, the demand and supply, and the quality of the fish. Some examples of commonly available and generally economical kosher fish include:

1. Tilapia: This popular, lean white fish is generally affordable. It has a mild taste and is very versatile in the kitchen.
2. Herring: While often consumed in pickled form, fresh herring can also be very affordable. It's a small, oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Mackerel: This oily fish is typically more flavorful than herring and is usually quite reasonably priced.
4. Pollock: This white fish is often used as a cheaper substitute for cod or haddock. It's commonly used in products like fish sticks and imitation crab meat.
5. Sardines: These small, oily fish are often sold canned, which can be a very economical choice. They're also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
6. Carp: This is a common freshwater fish that can often be found reasonably priced. Carp has a stronger flavor and is traditionally used in dishes like gefilte fish.

When purchasing fish, remember that the price per pound is not the only factor to consider. Ease of preparation, yield (how much meat you get after filleting and deboning, and personal taste preferences are also important. Consider canned or frozen options for some species, which can be more affordable and have a longer shelf life. Always ensure any fish you buy is fresh and high-quality, even if you're trying to save money.

The Political Rise of Ultra-Orthodox Jews Shakes Israel’s Sense of Identity-That is the only real issue for the Anti-Reforma demonstrations

Update: Solomons increase in meat prices

As an asides; Why is Skver and now Klozenburg using only the Fishel's brand of Solomons?

Fishel's brand is always Bais Yosef, leave it for the Sfardim. We understand the Skver Kehila gets a cut from the Fishel's brand sales, but they could use non-Bais Yosef.

Why is it that the non-kosher distributors can make a profit with a 7-8% markup, and the Heimish Distributors require a 25-40+% profit margin?

It may be time for the heimish consumers to do some diligent homework and use the "Orginitz'yehs" mehadrin products. There are hundreds of products that meet or surpass the Heimish kashrus standards.

Fishel's and solomon Bais Yosef is the exact same BY standard. Fishel's does not use the hangers, skirt nor past the tenth rib-Solomons BY does use it.
 

Cage-free Eggs

The term "cage-free" refers to hens that are not confined to battery cages, allowing them more freedom to move about. However, this doesn't necessarily mean they live in an idyllic farm setting. They might still be housed indoors in crowded conditions.

As for the presence of roosters, most commercial egg-laying operations, including cage-free systems, typically do not include roosters. There's no need for a rooster to be present for a hen to lay eggs. Hens will lay eggs without fertilization. The roosters are necessary only if the eggs are intended to hatch into chicks.

In most commercial operations, male chicks are separated and culled shortly after hatching because they don't lay eggs and are not the breed used for meat production (egg-laying breeds differ from meat breeds). This is a controversial practice in the industry.

So, in general, you wouldn't expect to find roosters in cage-free egg-laying operations. However, the situation might be different on smaller or non-commercial farms, and roosters could be present.

 

Stop Trafficking Enablers by Identifying Them

 Stop Trafficking Enablers by Identifying Them

July 08, 2021

28 Tammuz, 5781 °° Parshas Mattos-Masei °° July 8, 21
Opinion and Perspective by Binyomin Feinberg feinbergbinyomin@gmail.com

Near the beginning of this week's Torah portion, the premier Biblical commentator Rash"i (Bamidbar 30:16) quotes our Sages in the Midrash "Sifri" that one who causes another to sin takes his place in receiving Divine Retribution. [That's not to absolve those who actually commit the transgressions in question from whatever responsibility they themselves have - see Ramban there.] When community leaders urge people to vote - without providing guidance about the primary moral threats facing us, and their relevance to the candidates - they abuse their positions of influence.

What these "get-out-the-vote" advocates often do is tout their own issues of priority - generally government funding. Thereby, they convey to the trusting masses that those are the primary criteria for supporting a candidate. These "leaders" thereby seek to dupe the public into enabling some of our worst-human-rights abusers - by electing [or re-electing] them. Said "leaders" also are exploiting their public trust and access to media to dupe the community that has benefited them with their trust.

Additionally, they signal the elected officials that they're able to manipulate the community, to encourage political powers to throw more government money their way, to keep the manipulated masses of voters in line, forming a vicious cycle (although a cycle easily broken through with proper information and guidance).

We've previously addressed NJ's much-contested proposed abortion-expansion legislation s3030 several times, e.g.

https://www.jerseyconservative.org/blog/2021/5/20/do-you-support-njs-s3030-the-abortion-amp-human-trafficking-freedom-act. How many times did said "leaders" - ostensibly so concerned about the community welfare - even mention this legislation - or other LGBT, abortion, and trafficking threats? If we can't stop such overtly depraved legislation - even in an election season - precisely what good are elections?

Do we even deserve elections, if we allow them to be exploited to elect more and more of the New Barbarians (of both parties)? And, seeing Divine Wrath all around us, precisely how long do we expect G-d to tolerate our relentless communal wickedness?

As Jews, we bear a greater responsibility to stand up for morality and decency, and against the mainstreaming of sheer barbarism - especially when perpetrated by our own elected officials. In Zechariah 14:2 we read about the terrible things Gog seeks to perpetrate against the Jewish People at the end of days. How can we expect to be saved from such evil acts if we allow those who falsely speak in our name to dupe our communities into passively or actively enabling that very same type of iniquities?

How is it that we countenance people who expend great effort on soliciting community input and resources to ostensibly "fight antisemitism" - while they themselves feel very comfortable enabling elected officials who do far more actual harm to tens of thousands of vulnerable individuals - and to our communities - via legislation than any domestic terrorist organization or individual?

When Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf was asked if we should "forgive" those responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, he reportedly replied along the lines of: "Forgiveness is for G-d -- our job is to make the appointment." Those politicians - and the community organizers - who knowingly enable government-mandated human-trafficking, mass LGBT-indoctrination of children in public schools, LGBT celebration of rebellion against G-d in Education and everywhere else, transgender lunacy, molestation-enabling "bathroom bills," mass-abortion, assisted suicide, stealth euthanasia, etc. will have to answer directly to G-d. Our job is to identify and impede them. And if we truly try, we can hope for Divine assistance far beyond our expectations.

This does not affect all packages in this lot, however, out of an abundance of caution, all packages from this lot have been removed from the shelf. If you have a package at home, please check it before preparing it to be sure it is potato and not cheese.  Corrective actions have been implemented.
