Alert: Frozen blueberries recalled due to potential listeria contamination

Mar 5, 2026 | NA; Spec | Outbreak Alert

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall enforcement notice for more than 55,600 pounds of frozen blueberries distributed by Oregon Potato Company (OPC) due to potential listeria monocytogenes contamination.

Listeria monocytogenes are disease-causing bacteria able to survive refrigeration and even freezing. Although it is unlikely for healthy people to become very ill from listeria infection, also known as listeriosis, the disease can be fatal to newborns and those with autoimmune conditions. Pregnant women and people over the age of 65 may also suffer very serious symptoms.

Dear First Love

Apr 25, 2025 | School of the Arts, Singapore | Poem

A shape poem originally designed as a multi-media piece, suspended as a sheet of plastic to superimpose over the guitar in question. First exhibited at the 2nd-ever Literary Arts showcase, 2025’s EDIT:ION, under my sub-theme POSIT:ION.

A clean copy of the poem is attached below the exhibition image, for better readability and accessibility.

The original work has since been donated, sans guitar, to the Literary Arts Faculty of School of the Arts, Singapore.
