(NEWSER) – The mystery of the man who appeared to be contaminating food at a Michigan Whole Foods has apparently been solved. It was a tip from the public that the FBI says led to the arrest of the unidentified man, who has copped to pouring a mouse poison concoction on food at the Ann Arbor Whole Foods and other stores over the last two weeks, the Detroit News reports. "The suspect has admitted to using a potentially hazardous material to contaminate food in several Ann Arbor-area grocery stores," says the FBI special agent who heads up the agency's Detroit office. "Our joint investigation leads us to believe that this individual sprayed a liquid mixture of hand sanitizer, water, and Tomcat mice poison on produce." READ MORE
A unique plant that grows both tomatoes and potatoes is to be launched in Britain for the first time.
Dubbed the “ketchup and chips tree”, the bizarre TomTato is aimed at families who have limited garden space and those living in flats.
And the wacky hybrid which has taken six years to perfect through hard graft, is expected to fly off shelves when it hits Morrisons stores on Monday.
The two-in-one which can grow to a metre high, has cherry tomatoes on top and white potatoes underground.
Developed by Ipswich-based horticultural firm Thompson and Morgan, the plants are grown in the Netherlands for Morrisons. READ MORE:
Greek yogurt is known for being rich in flavor and protein. Now, some employees at Chobani could become rich themselves.
On Tuesday, founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya announced that he would be giving all of his 2,000 full-time workers awards that could be worth up to 10 percent of the privately held company's future value if it becomes public or is sold. Each employee will be given "Chobani Shares" or award units, based on workers' tenure and role at the company, which could convert to cash or shares in the event of an initial public offering or a sale. The value of the awards are dependent on company performance, however, and have the potential to be worth nothing if the company doesn't meet performance metrics.
The New York Times, which first reported the news, said that if Chobani was valued at $3 billion, the average employee payout could be $150,000, and some long-tenured employees could see windfalls possibly worth more than $1 million. (A Chobani spokesperson declined to confirm those amounts.) READ MORE:
London- The Food Standard Agency FSA has carried out an investigation to get the restaurants with poor hygienic conditions and substandard food. The investigation took an interesting turn when investigators found Birmingham KFC outlet among the list of unhygienic restaurants as they served ice contaminated with bacteria found in faeces.

The samples were taken in Birmingham, Martineau Place KFC outlet and reporters were served icy water polluted with bacteria from waste products.
The investigation to identify and close down different restaurants with poor hygiene conditions is being carried out by Reporters from BBC One’s Rip Off Britain along with food standard agency FSA. Samples are collected from every outlet in the country. Read More:

Who really needs words on this one, but here they are anyway. So.... A Guinness World Record was recently set and the video was released. It shows 1.200 people holding mattresses behind them and falling backward like a pack of lined up dominoes. Smashing into each other, one after the next, they created the longest mattress flop on Thursday in Maryland.
Of course they needed some assistance and who else better than a dominoes expert and certified by a Guinness World Record adjudicator. The previous record was 1,150.
The CEO of Aaron's pushed over the first vertical mattress and it was on from there. It may have taken 13 minutes and 38 seconds for all the kings men to fall, but it paid off.
Aaron's will be donating 1200 mattresses to Washington in an effort to aid in homelessness and ending poverty.
Way to Go Aaron's!!! Now, let's watch this human domino line.
