Second Nature Brands Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Cashews, Pistachios, and Cherries in Keto Crunch Smart Mix
Second Nature Brands of Madison Heights, MI, is voluntarily recalling certain 10-ounce packages of SECOND NATURE KETO CRUNCH SMART MIXTM because the product may contain undeclared cashews, pistachios, and cherries.
Individuals who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts, including cashews and pistachios, or to cherries, may be at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
The affected product was distributed nationwide in retail stores and through online orders.
The product comes in a 10-ounce pouch with UPC 077034013405. Affected pouches are marked with “Best if used by 2/12/2027” on the backside of pouch. Packages with other Best if used by dates are not affected.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing cashews, pistachios, and cherries was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of these allergens. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes. Consumers who have purchased 10-ounce packages of Second Nature Keto Crunch Smart Mix with Best if used by 2/12/2027 should not consume the product and should contact Second Nature Brands for a full refund.
Consumers may contact the company by calling +1.800.651.7263 Monday-Friday from 8:00AM to 8:00PM ET, Saturday-Sunday from 9:00AM to 5:00PM ET or via [email protected]

a2 Platinum USA Label Infant Formula Recalled Because of Possible Health Risk
The a2 Milk Company (“a2MC”) has voluntarily recalled three specific batches of its imported a2 Platinum Premium USA label infant formula 0-12 months (“Product”) due to the presence of cereulide. The Product is sold only in the United States.
Cereulide is a heat-stable toxin produced by some strains of the bacterium Bacillus cereus. Illness occurs through the consumption of food contaminated with the toxin and preparing formula with hot water does not eliminate it.
Symptoms typically develop within 30 minutes to six hours of ingestion and most often involve gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting that typically self-resolve within 24 hours. Infants are at greater risk due to their developing immune systems and can experience complications such as dehydration which require medical care.
Product Information
The batch number and “Use By” (expiration) date are found on the bottom of each tin (refer to example below, together with image of product).
The Product was distributed nationally through a2MC’s website, Amazon and Meijer stores as part of Operation Fly Formula. Importation rights expired on December 31st, 2025, and the Product has been discontinued and removed from sale prior to the initiation of the recall. The total number of units in the three batches is 63,078 of which an estimated 16,428 units were sold to consumers.
Although no confirmed incidents of illness or harm have been reported, affected batches must not be used.
The recall was initiated by a2MC after cereulide was detected through additional testing of the Product conducted in response to new guidance issued by New Zealand's food regulatory authority. The probable source of cereulide is an ingredient in the Product.
This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Consumers who have purchased the Product are recommended to discontinue use of the Product and dispose of it immediately or return to their place of purchase for a refund. If your infant is experiencing symptoms described above, contact your health care provider immediately. To report an illness or adverse event to the FDA, you can:
Report a Product Problem through SmartHub, or

Utz Quality Foods, LLC Issues Voluntary Recall of Certain Limited Varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty Potato Chips
Utz Quality Foods, LLC, a subsidiary of Utz Brands, Inc., is issuing a voluntary recall in the United States of certain limited varieties of Zapp’s® and Dirty® potato chips.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
To date, there have been no complaints of illness reported to Utz in connection with the recalled products. Utz is recalling these products based on the ingredient supplier’s recall.
This recall is limited exclusively to the products listed below (see website), which are available at retail stores nationwide. No other products produced by Utz Quality Foods are included in this recall.
Consumers who have these products should not eat them and should discard any products they may have.

JCB Flavors, LLC Issues Voluntary Recall of Topical Seasonings Due to Potential Health Risk

FSIS Issues Public Health Alert for Various Meat and Poultry Products Containing FDA-Regulated Dairy Products That Have Been Recalled Due to Possible Salmonella Contamination
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated dairy ingredients that may be contaminated with Salmonella. FSIS expects additional downstream products will be identified as this ingredient recall progresses. As more information becomes available, FSIS will update this public health alert. Consumers should check back frequently.
The list of products subject to the public health alert are available here, including information such as the establishment numbers and states where the products were distributed. The labels are available here.
The problem was discovered when FDA notified FSIS that multiple FSIS-regulated establishments received FDA-regulated ingredients formulated with dry milk powder that had been recalled.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 6 hours to 6 days after eating the contaminated product. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ or retailers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. Retailers who have purchased these products are urged not to serve or sell them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or send a question via email to [email protected].

FSIS Issues Public Health Alert for Ravioli Pasta With Beef Sauce Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for ravioli pasta products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The ravioli labeled as beef and burrata may actually contain shrimp filling in lobster sauce. The shrimp and lobster, known allergens (shellfish), are not declared on the product label. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers with shellfish allergies are aware that this product should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The ravioli pasta items were produced between March 10, 2026, and April 21, 2026. The following product is subject to the public health alert [view labels]:
32-oz. plastic bag packages containing “Giovanni Rana RANA Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli” with “use by” dates ranging 05/14/2026 – 06/25/2026.
The product bears establishment number “Est. 44870” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to Costco retail stores in Maryland and New Jersey.
The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that they received two consumer complaints reporting the beef sauce and burrata ravioli actually contained shrimp ravioli.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
