Here’s a heart-breaking story by John R. Platt and Dipika Kadaba of The Revelator. It turns out that 824 Florida manatees died last year, almost 50% more than in 2017.
Those 824 mortalities (deaths) represent 13% of the Florida manatee population, and many of them were caused by people – either directly or indirectly.
The Revelator released a video that goes into more detail about why so many manatees died last year. Click below to watch it, and be sure to visit this link for the original story.

As food safety innovations go, shelf-stable milk is sort of a marvel. The process combines high-temperature pasteurization and aseptic packaging, which is completely sealed to prevent the introduction of microorganisms to produce a product that is less perishable, less reliant on consistent cold storage temperatures, and more convenient for consumers. But even a technological marvel can fail from time to time, as a recent recall from Horizon Organic illustrates.
On August 7, the Colorado-based milk producer voluntarily recalled more than 53,000 cases of its Shelf-Stable (Aseptic) 1% Chocolate Milk, sold in 8-ounce cartons, per an FDA notice. According to a statement posted on the company’s website, the recall was initiated after consumers reported finding packages that “appeared bloated” and “contents that may be subject to premature spoilage and may have an unpleasant taste, odor, and/or texture.” The milk was sold in 12-count and 18-count packages and distributed to grocery stores nationwide.
Horizon indicated that an issue with the milk’s shelf-stable packaging, also known as aseptic packaging, caused the recall. The company did not specify exactly how the milk’s packaging was compromised, but did indicate that an investigation into the “root cause” of the packaging failure is currently underway and that “preventive actions will be implemented to prevent recurrence.”
The company says that only its Shelf-Stable (Aseptic) 1% Chocolate Milk is affected by the recall and that its plain shelf-stable milk and refrigerated milk are safe to consume. Products impacted by the recall have best-by dates in January and February 2027 and are marked with one of two UPC numbers: 742365002700 and 742365208867. There have been no reported illnesses associated with this recall.
That packaging failure raises an important question: If the seal on a shelf-stable package is broken, is it still safe to consume? How can you tell when something has gone wrong? To better understand the risks associated with consuming anything from compromised packaging, and when shelf-stable milk is no longer safe to drink, we spoke with Dr. Keith Schneider, a professor of food safety at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Most refrigerated milk sold commercially in the United States is pasteurized, a process that involves heating milk to a specific temperature for a set period of time to kill harmful bacteria, such as E. coli. High-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurization, which is commonly used within the dairy industry, involves heating milk to at least 161°F (72°C) for at least 15 seconds, extending its shelf life. According to US Dairy, HTST pasteurized milk typically lasts about 10 to 21 days when properly refrigerated, though its exact shelf life will depend on processing, packaging, and storage conditions.
Unopened shelf-stable milk, on the other hand, is typically safe to drink for six to 12 months. That’s because it undergoes a process called ultra-high-temperature pasteurization, in which milk is heated to 280°F (138°C) for at least two seconds, then packaged under aseptic conditions in a sterile sealed container. The combination of this intensive heat treatment and aseptic packaging allows unopened milk to remain safe and shelf-stable for months without refrigeration.
“The heat processing kills things like yeasts, molds, and bacteria, things that could cause the product to spoil,” Schneider says. “Once you’ve got the freshly pasteurized product, you put it into a package that’s designed in such a way that it’s not going to introduce anything that could cause spoilage.”
Manufacturers use aseptic packaging to keep milk safe and maintain its quality. This packaging consists of multiple layers of materials, each with a specific purpose: Plastic layers to help protect the milk from outside moisture and microorganisms, while a super-thin aluminum layer provides a barrier against light and oxygen. Together, these layers help keep the product safe from contamination and preserve it. When properly manufactured and sealed, aseptic packaging should create a hermetically sealed environment that prevents microorganism, air, and moisture from entering, effectively suspending it in time as long as the container remains sealed.
Generally, Schneider says that aseptic packaging is incredibly safe. “This is a very mature technology, but nothing can be done 100% error free,” he says. “The error rates on these things are incredibly small, but they do happen. Millions if not billions of these are produced every year, and this is a rare case.”
This recall was initiated after consumers reported that some containers of chocolate milk appeared swollen or bloated. Bloating can be a sign that the seal on an aseptic package has been compromised—whether due to a manufacturing defect or damage during transportation or handling—making it vulnerable to bacteria, yeasts, and molds in the surrounding environment.
According to Schneider, unexpected bloating in an aseptic package that isn’t designed to contain gas is an obvious sign of microbial spoilage. Microorganisms can contaminate the milk in two ways: They may have survived pasteurization if the milk wasn’t adequately heat-treated, or they may enter the package if something goes wrong during manufacturing or the package’s seal is compromised. “Any product that’s bloated and shouldn’t be bloated? That’s a clear indication of spoilage organisms. They produce gases like carbon dioxide, which causes the containers to swell up,” Schneider says.
In many cases, the microorganisms responsible for the bloating or unpleasant odor won’t make you sick, but they do make for pretty gross milk. A compromised package, however, can allow potentially harmful organisms to grow, which may leave you feeling ill. Because there’s no reliable way to tell what’s growing inside, Schneider recommends just throwing those containers out, or returning them to the store for a refund or replacement.
The bottom line: Aseptic packaging can keep milk shelf-stable milk safe for months, but that long shelf life depends on the package remaining intact. If a carton is bloated, leaking, or otherwise compromised, consider that your cue to toss it out.

There’s an active recall on fruit sold at Walmart locations in four states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).1 This is due to a potential Salmonella contamination.
The fruit being recalled is Martina-brand mangoes sold from August 10 through August 21, 2026, in the following states: Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The mangoes were sold at select Walmart stores, bearing PLU number “4584” and UPC “07503061948050” on the light blue produce sticker reading “Agrofepac, Produce of Mexico.”
Check your mangoes, and if you have the recalled fruit on hand, dispose of them or contact your place of purchase for a refund. While there are no illnesses connected to this recall, symptoms of Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) can start from six hours to six days after infection. If you are showing signs of salmonellosis like watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite after eating the recalled mango, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
For questions about this recall, contact Panorama Produce by email at information@panoramaproduce.com Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.

Oatmeal boils over because the starches in the oats thicken the cooking liquid into a gel that traps steam bubbles until they spill over. Tricks such as balancing a spoon across the pot don’t really work, but a few simple fixes do, including avoiding high heat and using the right size of cooking vessel, whether you’re cooking oatmeal on the stove or in the microwave. With these and a few other minor adjustments outlined below, your oatmeal will be creamy, your kitchen will be oat splatter–free, and your breakfast will be easy.
Once the chill of fall sets in, I instinctively want to start my day with a steaming bowl of oatmeal laced with cinnamon and a drizzle of good maple syrup. It’s wholesome, filling, endlessly customizable, and takes almost no effort to make. But as much as I love it, oatmeal often has a way of turning my fast-track morning routine into a sticky disaster. More times than I can count, I’ve tossed a bowl into the microwave to cook—or just reheat—only to return to find a gluey geyser has erupted all over the turntable, dripping down the sides, and sticking into every corner. So much for my “quick breakfast.”
Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez
I know I’m not alone in this scenario. Whether you’re cooking oats slowly on the stovetop or blasting them in the microwave, oatmeal seems uniquely primed to bubble over and make a mess. It’s not just bad luck—there’s some fascinating science behind it. The good news is that once you understand what’s happening in that pot or bowl, the fix is fairly simple.
To know how to prevent the dreaded oatmeal boil-over, we first need to understand why it happens. When you boil plain water, the physics are straightforward: Heat creates steam bubbles at the bottom of the pot, which rise, break the surface, and release their vapor. It’s a constant cycle of bubble formation and popping that keeps the water happily simmering along.
But oatmeal isn’t just water. Once you add oats, you’re adding starch, and starch changes the equation. As the oats heat up, their starches absorb water, swell, and unravel, releasing the molecules amylose and amylopectin into the cooking liquid. These carbohydrate polymers create a loose but sticky mesh that transforms the liquid into something thicker than water—a gel. As Harold McGee explains in his seminal food science book On Food and Cooking, starch granules gelatinize in hot water, swelling until they burst and release molecules that tangle together.
Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez
Here’s where the trouble begins. The water (or milk, or whatever liquid you’re cooking with) is still trying to do what water does when it boils: form steam bubbles that rise and pop. But now, instead of bursting cleanly at the surface, the bubbles get caught in that starchy gel. The thicker the liquid becomes, the harder it is for steam to escape. Instead of dispersing, the bubbles pile up under the surface, pushing the oatmeal higher and higher.
In oatmeal, this gelatinized starch network acts like a balloon net, keeping the bubbles intact rather than letting them pop. The more bubbles the starch net holds, the frothier and puffier the oatmeal becomes, until the whole mass suddenly surges upward. That’s why oatmeal seems perfectly calm one second, and then, in an instant, it’s erupting like a volcano.
Once I understood why oatmeal boils over, I wanted to see if I could outsmart the starches. A quick scan of cookbooks, Reddit forums, and reader comments turned up a few popular “fixes.” Some of them sound plausible and even science-backed, but when I tested these methods below, none stood up to the oatmeal volcano. I tested these methods in the microwave and on the stovetop, and here’s what I found.
Adding fat (like butter): This one makes sense in theory. Fats are hydrophobic, so if you disperse fat into your oatmeal, the fat molecules coat the swollen starch granules. That coating interferes with the starch network, weakening the gel so steam bubbles should be able to slip through and burst rather than getting trapped. The keywords are in theory.
For this to work, the fat can’t just sit on top—it has to be stirred in thoroughly so it actually coats the starches. And then there’s the matter of how much fat to use. I tested it systematically with a half-cup serving of oats in the microwave on full power, adding one tablespoon of butter, then two, then three, and finally four. (I chose butter because it’s the fat I’d actually want to eat in my oatmeal, even though it’s only about 80% fat compared to 100% in oils.)
The results were that one tablespoon did nothing—the oatmeal still surged over. Two tablespoons delayed the boil-over a bit, but didn’t stop it. At three tablespoons, I finally saw a full batch cook without spilling over. Four tablespoons worked too, but at that point my “bowl of oatmeal” was starting to taste like oatmeal-flavored butter—delicious in its own way, but hardly a practical solution for everyday breakfast.
It’s worth noting that if I used oil instead of butter, I might need slightly less, since oil is 100% fat. But realistically, I’m not reaching for a quarter cup of olive oil to stir into my morning oatmeal. Butter, cream, and milk are the fatty ingredients most people actually want here—and in everyday amounts, they won’t prevent boil-overs.
Laying a chopstick or spoon across the pot or bowl: Another commonly shared trick is to rest a utensil across the vessel, supposedly to pop the bubbles before they spill over. In my tests in the microwave, it made no difference. The bubbles climbed right around it and kept foaming until the oatmeal erupted.
Adding dried fruit or nuts early on: A few Reddit users suggested that mix-ins might interfere with the starch mesh, but I didn’t have luck with this. Similar to what happened with the spoon test, the starch simply formed around the fruit and nuts, and the oatmeal still boiled over.
All of these “hacks” might sound promising, but in practice, they didn’t keep the oatmeal in the bowl where it belonged, or in the case of the fat, it worked, but left the oatmeal inedibly rich.
The most effective solutions turned out to be the simplest, and they differ depending on whether you’re cooking on the stove or in the microwave.
When you stir oatmeal as it cooks, you physically break up the bubbles before they can swell and spill over. Even a few stirs during cooking—especially as the oatmeal nears boiling—make a big difference. That’s why most Serious Eats recipes for oatmeal call for occasional stirring. It disrupts the starch network enough to let steam escape without sending oatmeal climbing over the pot’s rim.
Just as important is the heat level: keep the pot at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil. Lower heat means the bubbles form more slowly and less aggressively, which gives you even more control. Use at least a 1-quart saucepan for a half cup of dry oats to ensure there’s plenty of headspace. Together, lower heat and occasional stirring also help prevent scorching at the bottom of the pot, keeping the oats creamy and evenly cooked.
The microwave is trickier, because you’re not standing there with a spoon. Here, the solution is less about intervention and more about prevention. Start with a large, wide bowl. This gives the oatmeal more surface area to allow steam to escape, and vertical headspace means it has room to rise within the bowl. As a general guideline, for every half cup of dry oats, use at least a three-cup microwave-safe bowl.
In my testing, I also found that microwaving at a lower power setting—50%—proved effective. The lower temperature means the oatmeal cooks more slowly, so the bubbles form less vigorously, which makes them less likely to get trapped under the starch gel. With intermittent stirring and a watchful eye, I didn’t experience the dramatic boil-overs that happen at full power. The caveat is that “low” power isn’t consistent across all microwaves, so while it’s not a perfect control that I can give you a definitive timestamp on, cooking at lower power will reliably reduce your risk of a spill.
Oatmeal boils over because the starch network traps bubbles until they erupt. I wish I could tell you there’s a clever trick or viral hack that works magic here, but the truth is more practical: Adding fat or balancing a spoon across the pot won’t help much, while a few simple fixes do. Stir your oats as they cook on the stovetop (or every minute or two in the microwave), monitor your heat level, and always use a larger pot or bowl with plenty of headspace. Those quick adjustments mean your oatmeal stays put, your microwave stays clean, and your morning routine actually stays quick.
FDA announces nationwide recall of epinephrine injections over sterility and particulate concerns
Digital Curator
A nationwide voluntary recall of three lots of Epinephrine Injection has been issued due to the “presence of particulate matter and lack of sterility assurance,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA on Thursday shared a recall notice from Ohio-based American Regent stating that some Epinephrine Injection, USP 30 mg/ 30 mL (1 mg/mL) multi-dose vials were being recalled after the company received customer complaints “for leaking and cracked vials, resulting in lack of assurance of sterility.”
Related video above: How to stay ahead of recalls
The firm’s investigation also revealed “the presence of particulate matter identified as nylon, cellulosic, acrylic, polyethylene, and glass” in the product, the recall announcement states.
The epinephrine injections are meant to be used for “the emergency treatment of allergic reactions (Type I), including anaphylaxis, which may result from insect stings or bites, foods, drugs, sera, diagnostic testing substances, and other allergens, as well as idiopathic anaphylaxis or exercise-induced anaphylaxis,” the company said in a risk statement attached to the recall notice. The notice goes on to state that “Epinephrine Injection, USP is also indicated to increase mean arterial blood pressure in adult patients with hypotension associated with septic shock.”
The affected Epinephrine Injection, USP products were distributed nationwide in the United States and carry an NDC number of 0517-3030-01.
Lot Numbers 25128L1C0, 25280L1C0, and 26108L1C0 were distributed nationwide in the United States.
Here are the specific lot numbers, expiration dates, and distribution dates:
American Regent said that as of Sept. 3, it had not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
In its risk statement, American Regent said that intravenous administration of a product containing particulate matter can lead to “serious adverse health consequences.”
“Particulate matter can cause blockage and clotting in blood vessels, which can cut off blood flow to vital organs, lead to a life-threatening blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), and cause permanent organ damage or death,” the company wrote, adding that the particles “may cause local vein irritation, inflammatory reaction, aggravation of preexisting infections, and allergic reactions.”
The company said cracked vials can “compromise the integrity of the container, resulting in loss of sterility and potential contamination, which can pose a serious risk for patients.”
American Regent said it is notifying distributors and customers by letter and is arranging for the return or replacement of all recalled products.
Patients who use the product being recalled should stop using it and contact their doctor or health care provider, the company said in the notice.

U.S. — The State of Massachusetts has officially been ruled incompetent by reason of insanity.
The landmark decision, handed down this morning by the United States Supreme Court, has ruled that the entire state is unfit to hold trials, engage in civil service, or do anything else besides make clam chowder.
“We find the entire state grossly incompetent due to being completely insane,” announced Chief Justice John Roberts. “The entire state needs to be shut down and prevented from doing anything whatsoever until it gets help. We have ordered a large, large fence to be built around the entire state to protect the greater public from these psychos. The entire state is now just one enormous mental institution. Which, it basically is already, but now at least there’s a wall so these freaks can’t get out.”
At publishing time, the State of California had also been ruled incompetent, but just for actual incompetence.
Do they have a badge for the 10 Commandments? Or, the key concepts of the Declaration of Independence? Or the first 10 amendments to the Constitution?’
By Bob Unruh
The Girl Scouts organization in America already has plunged neck-deep in transgenderism. And abortion, with ideologies that support such leftist agendas.
Now the group is jumping into Islam.
An online report confirmed the organization is offering “badges” that are earned by little girls when they visit mosques and learn the “Pillars of Islam.”
And social media commenters were at full volume:
“I will not buy a box of Girl Scout cookies ever again until this bull—- is removed. What are we doing here?” said one.
“Mothers, get your kids out of this organization!! First they went trans now they go Muslim. Is this really what Girl Scouts was built on??”
“I’ll never buy Girl Scout cookies ever again.”
“Do they have a badge for the 10 commandments? Or, the key concepts of the Declarstion (sic) of Independence? Or the first 10 amendments to the constitution?”
An online posting at Twitchy explained
“Girl Scout troops across the U.S. are incorporating Islamic religious instruction, prayer and activities into scouting programs, according to a new investigation by White House correspondent Natalie Winters.
“Winters reported that mosque-based troops in several states have used Girl Scout programming to teach Islamic practices, including prayer, Ramadan and hijab. The examples appear to involve individual troops and local councils rather than a nationwide requirement imposed on all Girl Scouts.”
“The Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) does officially recognize religious award programs operated by outside religious organizations. Its own faith materials identify the Islamic Committee on Girl Scouting and say it offers ‘Girl Scouts of the Islamic Faith’ religious recognition awards, including medals. GSUSA also directs families toward religious organizations for information about the programs,” Twitchy reported.
Winters, in her report confirmed there is a “nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner.”
Winters reported comments by the SALAM Islamic Center on an event at a mosque in Sacramento, “A standout attraction was the hijab photo booth.”
The report said, “Girls were invited to try on hijabs while learning about ‘the significance of modesty.’ The event also included mosque tours and ‘an informative booth about Palestine.’”
The mosque where the girls were meeting specifies that such programs “shall be in accordance with the ideology of SALAM and its principles.”
Winters reported, “Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about SALAM’s religious integration years earlier. The council’s 2009 annual report said four troops with 30 girls began meeting at SALAM and incorporated Girl Scouting into the mosque’s youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls ‘praying through the night.’”
Other such schemes have been confirmed in Naperville as well as Virginia, Brooklyn, and San Diego, the report said.
Such programming includes “prayer, Ramadan, Muslim badges, hijab discussions, and outreach to visiting Girl Scouts,” the report said.
‘Never buy Girl Scout cookies again’: Girl Scouts in America take deep dive into promotion of Islam
AUG 22, 2026
An exclusive investigation has uncovered a nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner.
The next exclusive is already being investigated. Make sure it finds you.Subscribe
“A standout attraction was the hijab photo booth,” according to the SALAM Islamic Center’s account of a February 2025 Girl Scout event at its Sacramento mosque.
Girls were invited to try on hijabs while learning about “the significance of modesty.” The event also included mosque tours and “an informative booth about Palestine.”
The Girl Scout who organized the event said she wanted to share the mosque with the “broader Girl Scout community.”SALAM has not published a clear photograph of either booth, the materials presented about Palestine, or any parent notice explaining the religious components.
SALAM openly advertises its Girl Scout program as providing “Strong Islamic Values.” Its Education page repeats the phrase while listing Girl Scouts alongside the mosque’s weekend school, Quran memorization program, and Islamic-learning center.
The mosque’s bylaws direct its Education Committee to review the activities of youth groups including Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. They require: “Such programs shall be in accordance with the ideology of SALAM and its principles.”
Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about SALAM’s religious integration years earlier.
The council’s 2009 annual report said four troops with 30 girls began meeting at SALAM and incorporated Girl Scouting into the mosque’s youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls “praying through the night.”
A Troop 972 leader explained the arrangement plainly: “we just incorporate our religion into the framework that Girl Scouts provides.
”
SALAM placed the February 2025 Girl Scout gathering inside its broader school and university outreach report.
That report described SALAM educating 45 Elk Grove Unified School District teachers about Islam, fasting, prayer accommodations, and Muslim students. It also detailed presentations to seventh graders and a mosque visit for Sacramento State students.
The same document announced World Thinking Day “in partnership with the Girl Scouts.”
SALAM is not an isolated example.
The Islamic Center of Naperville says its K–12 troops follow Girl Scout principles while adhering to “our core Islamic values.” Its current materials instruct girls to bring a headscarf for salah, or Islamic prayer.
The Islamic Center of Long Island has hosted Girl Scouts since 2005 and states: “Combining Islamic education with scout activity is our prime goal.”
At Virginia’s ADAMS Center, the Girl Scout program incorporates Islamic traditions so girls can develop “without compromising their faith,” including celebrating Islamic holidays and earning an Islam patch.
A 2012 PGMA Girl Scouts event invited Girl Scouts to an overnight Ramadan program featuring taraweeh prayer, Quran and Hadith study, and religious discussion. The supply list included prayer garments, hijabs, Islamic books, and a Quran.
Girl Scouts of the USA has promoted the same model. A national GSUSA feature celebrated Orange County troops that hosted an Open Mosque Day for Girl Scout families, including a mosque tour and presentations connecting Islam to the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
That article also says organizers permitted one troop to represent Palestine at World Thinking Day after initially denying its request.
Other mosque-based troops operate through Brooklyn’s Masjid At-Taqwa, California’s Muslim Community Center East Bay, and the Islamic Center of San Diego, where historical programming included prayer, Ramadan, Muslim badges, hijab discussions, and outreach to visiting Girl Scouts.

Recall alert for squishy dumpling toys sold on Amazon and other retailers due to choking concerns
Sr Digital Curator
Two different types of popular squishy dumpling toys are being recalled, weeks after Amazon removed similar items from its site.
The first recall is for 8,000 GIHNJSI Squeezy Dumplings toys, which are translucent round squishy balls with cartoon faces and glitter-like particles and water beads on the inside.
A news release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says they contain water beads that, if ingested, can expand and “pose deadly ingestion, choking, and intestinal obstruction hazards inside a child’s body, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, and a risk of death to a child.”
No injuries have been reported in regards to this recall, which covers Squeezy Dumplings sold on Amazon between May and June of this year for about $20. The toys come in a tan plastic container shaped like a bamboo steamer and have “Squeezy Dumplings” and “Squeeze Me” printed on a removable label.
Anyone who purchased these toys should stop using them and contact Chenyuanhui for a full refund. To receive the refund, consumers will be asked to write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the toy and its container, throw the toy away and email a photo of the disposed toy to GIHNJSI_recall@163.com.
The second similar recall is for 7,200 Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun toys that were sold at various third-party stores nationwide from May 2026 through August.
“The squishy bun toys violate the mandatory safety standard for toysbecause the water beads inside the dumplings expand larger than permitted, posing a deadly ingestion hazard,” a news release from the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
This recall involves Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun toys Model D08004. they are a translucent pink color and contain glitter and water beads. These items also have cartoon faces and are packaged in tan plastic containers that look like a bamboo steamer. “Rainbow Mystery” and “Sugar Edition” are printed on the front of the items’ removable labels.
No injuries have been reported for these recalled toys, but anyone who has them should stop using them and contact OKK Trading for a refund. Consumers will be asked to write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the squeezy dumpling and its tan plastic container, throw the toy away, and email a photo of the disposed toy to recall@okktoys.com.
In August, Amazon told Hearst Television’s National Consumer Unitthat it had proactively removed some squishy toys from its store following reported safety concerns.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about fake and counterfeit squishy toys, including ones shaped like dumplings, other foods, and animals. The agency says some may not meet federal safety requirements and may contain harmful chemicals, though it did not identify which specific brands or products it considers authentic.
Consumer Reports has also called on the Consumer Product Safety Commission to investigate safety risks across the entire category of sensory gel toys, warning the hazards may not be limited to fake and counterfeit products. The group says it analyzed reports to the CPSC’s SaferProducts.gov database and identified 33 incidents between January 2025 and July 2026 involving chemical burns, skin irritation or strong odors. In some cases, consumers reported symptoms including nausea, headaches, watery eyes or sore throats.

What should you do if you have these foods?
Pet owners should stop feeding these products immediately and dispose of any remaining food in a sealed container where pets and wildlife cannot access it. Clean and disinfect all pet bowls, preparation surfaces, storage containers, bedding, floors, toys, and any area the food or pet may have contacted. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the food or cleaning contaminated areas.
These bacteria can infect both pets and people. Dogs may show symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or lethargy, while humans may experience diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and other serious illness. Pets can carry these bacteria without obvious symptoms, potentially spreading them to people. If your pet shows signs of illness, contact your veterinarian immediately. If you or a family member develops symptoms after handling this food or a pet that ate it, contact your healthcare provider.
About Salmonella
Pets infected with Salmonella may appear lethargic and may experience diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite or abdominal pain. Some pets may be infected without showing symptoms and can spread the bacteria to other animals or humans.
People handling contaminated pet food may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or abdominal cramping. In rare cases, Salmonella can lead to more serious conditions, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms. Anyone who develops symptoms after handling the product should contact a healthcare provider.
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and Listeriosis Symptoms
L. monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause illness in both humans and pets, particularly in pregnant people, young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
In humans, symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Pregnant people may only experience mild flu-like symptoms, but infection can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or serious illness in a newborn. Anyone with symptoms should seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Listeriosis is rare in pets but possible. Symptoms may include diarrhoea, loss of appetite, fever, nervous or muscular issues, pregnancy loss, depression, shock, or death. Pets do not need to show symptoms to pass the bacteria to humans.
Reporting Pet Food Problems

The Allrecipes team closely monitors the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and other news outlets to stay on top of recalls, public health alerts, and company announcements that may affect the food and kitchen products you encounter on a daily basis.
There are currently several ongoing recalls on food and kitchen products, including fruit sold at Walmart and a recall on sprouts potentially contaminated with Salmonella and E. coli. Here are the recalls you need to know about this week to keep your family safe.
According to an Aug. 29 FDA announcement, Panorama Produce recalled 302 boxes of size 9 mangoes distributed under the brand name Martina because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recalled mangoes were distributed to select Walmart stores in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania beginning on Aug. 10 through Aug. 21, 2026.
The recalled individual mangoes can be identified by a light blue sticker with the label Agrofepac, Produce of Mexico, and a PLU number of 4584 and UPC # 07503061948050.
Kofinas Olive Oil, in coordination with the FDA, issued a voluntary recall of its Garlic Mediterranean infused extra virgin olive oil because it uses a garlic essential oil that is not approved for culinary use.
The flavored oil was bottled in glass bottles in 500-milliliter, 250-milliliter, and 100-milliliter bottles. The recalled oil was available for sale from Aug. 31, 2025, to Aug. 27, 2026 at the following locations:
The oil was also available for direct sale online at www.kofinasoliveoil.com.
The Better Bakehouse Snack Company has recalled certain lots of Donutful Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Cake Donuts because they may contain undeclared milk. Those individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious and even life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these donuts.
This recall is limited to specific lots of the donuts that were manufactured and distributed in March 2026. The recalled Donutful Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Cake Donuts were distributed to retailers nationwide and through Amazon.com.
The recalled donuts can be identified by the following information:Donutful Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Cake Donuts, 10 Mini Donuts, packaged in a 7.05-ounce carton containing five 1.41-ounce (40 gram) pouches, with UPC 3 50041 39210 3. The recalled donuts have the “Best If Used By” date Sept. 15, 2026 and lot code 26078.
On Aug. 22, Everything Sprouts, LLC. announced a recall on certain lots of Alfalfa Sprouts because they have the potential to be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) or Salmonella.
The recalled alfalfa sprouts were distributed to wholesale distributors and grocery stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin. To date, 55 reports of illnesses have been received by federal and state partners related to alfalfa sprouts.
The Everything Sprouts and Calco branded Alfalfa Sprouts were packaged in individual five-ounce plastic containers bearing the following bar codes: 860014523113, 860014523120, and 850079470149. The Alfalfa Sprout products subject to this recall include packages with the following lot numbers: 222, 223, 225, 226, and 230. These same alfalfa sprouts were also used in Everything Sprouts Crunchy Protein Sprout Mix five-ounce cups (lot numbers: 222, 223, 226, and 230) and the Zesty Garlic Mix cups (lot numbers: 222, 223, 225, 226, and 230).
On Aug. 29, Everything Sprouts’ voluntary recall expanded to include certain lots of Robust Radish Sprout Mix because they also have the potential to be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) or Salmonella bacteria.
The recalled sprout mix was also distributed to wholesale distributors and grocery stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The recall includes Robust Radish Mix packaged in five-ounce cups with barcode 087906000075 and lot numbers: 223, 226, 230, and 233.
On Aug. 27, the CPSC expanded a July recall of Cuisinart metal wire bristle grill brushes to include more than 3.6 million products. The recalled grill brushes contain metal wire bristles that can detach, then stick to the grill and grilled food, “posing an ingestion hazard and risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery,” according to the recall announcement.
The brushes were sold from June 2009 through March 2026 at major retailers, including Walmart, Burlington, TJ Maxx, and Ross, as well as online through Amazon and Cuisinart’s website.

Northwest Naturals is voluntarily recalling two frozen pet food products due to due to Salmonella and/or Listeria monocytogenes contamination. In routine testing by the FDA, Northwest Naturals Frozen Chicken Recipe tested positive for Salmonella while the Northwest Naturals Frozen Raw Diet for Dogs Chicken Recipe tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella.
53 cases (1,272 pounds) of Northwest Naturals Frozen Chicken Recipe cat and dog food and 19 cases (684 pounds) of Northwest Naturals Frozen Raw Diet for Dogs Chicken Recipe have been recalled.
Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes can sicken animals through contaminated food, and there is risk to people from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands after handling the contaminated food or any surfaces exposed to contaminated products.
The recalled pet foods were distributed to retail stores nationwide. The affected products can be identified by the following information:
Recall Expansion: Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled sprouts. FDA’s investigation is ongoing.
On August 28, 2026, Everything Sprouts, LLC expanded the recall to include certain lots of Robust Radish Sprout Mix. The recalled Robust Radish Sprout Mix was sold in 5-oz cups, LOT# 223, 226, 230, & 233.
On August 22, 2026, Everything Sprouts, LLC recalled alfalfa sprouts grown by Everything Sprouts and sold under the Calco and Everything Sprouts brands. These recalled sprouts are packaged in 5-oz plastic containers with lot numbers 222, 223, 225, 226, and 230. These same Alfalfa sprouts were also used in Everything Sprouts Crunchy Protein Sprout Mix 5-oz cups, LOT# 222, 223, 226, 230 and the Zesty Garlic Mix cups, LOT# 222, 223, 225, 226, and 230.
Symptoms begin anywhere from a few days after consuming contaminated food or up to nine days later. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting.
The severity or presence of certain symptoms may depend on the type of pathogenic E. coli causing the infection. Some infections can cause severe bloody diarrhea and lead to life-threatening conditions, such as a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems.
Illness usually occurs within 12 to 72 hours after eating food that is contaminated with Salmonella, and the symptoms usually last four to seven days. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Children younger than five, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections.
Recalled Robust Radish Mix was distributed by Everything Sprouts from August 13, 2026, to August 26, 2026, to wholesale distributors and to grocery stores located in MN and WI. This includes Robust Radish Mix, 5oz, LOT# 223, 226, 230, & 233.
Recalled alfalfa sprouts were distributed by Everything Sprouts from May 27, 2026, to August 21, 2026, to wholesale distributors and to grocery stores in MN and WI. FDA’s traceback investigation also shows that alfalfa sprouts from Everything Sprouts were also distributed to restaurants in MN and WI. Recalled products distributed to restaurants should no longer be available for sale.
FDA is working to determine if the recalled product was further distributed to other states. This advisory will be updated as needed.
Ongoing
August 31, 2026
On August 28, 2026, Everything Sprouts, LLC expanded their recall to include certain lots of Robust Radish Sprout Mix because it has the potential for cross-contamination with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli(STEC) or Salmonella from the recalled alfalfa sprouts. The recalled Robust Radish Sprout Mix was sold in 5-oz cups, LOT# 223, 226, 230, & 233.
Epidemiologic and traceback evidence show that alfalfa sprouts grown by Everything Sprouts, LLC of Minneapolis, MN, is one of the sources of illnesses in this outbreak. While alfalfa sprouts grown by Everything Sprouts, LLC are a source of illnesses in this outbreak, these sprouts do not explain all the illnesses.
FDA’s traceback investigation has identified at least one additional sprout grower who received and used the same lot of alfalfa sprout seeds under investigation in this outbreak from a common seed supplier. The common seed supplier has instructed its customers not to use, grow, sell, transfer, or redistribute the implicated seed lot, and to return or dispose of any remaining seed.
FDA recommended that the common seed supplier voluntarily recall the implicated lot of alfalfa seeds and contact their downstream customers to initiate recalls of sprouts grown from the implicated seed lot. At this time, the common seed supplier has not responded to FDA’s recall recommendation, has not sent a recall notice to downstream customers, and has not instructed the customers who received the implicated alfalfa sprout seed lot to initiate recalls.
FDA is continuing to investigate contamination of the implicated alfalfa sprout seed, as well as additional contributing factors or practices of sprout growers related to this outbreak. This advisory will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
August 24, 2026
On August 22, 2026, Everything Sprouts, LLC initiated a recall for certain alfalfa sprouts sold under the Calco and Everything Sprouts brands.

The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (multiple serotypes include: O26:H11, O103:H25, O168:H8) and Salmonella Agona infections. Epidemiologic and traceback data show that alfalfa sprouts distributed by Everything Sprouts, LLC of Minneapolis, MN may be contaminated with multiple pathogens and have been identified as a source of illnesses in this outbreak.
Based on epidemiological information collected by CDC and state partners, a total of 55 people infected with multiple strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and one strain of Salmonella have been reported from 15 states. Some people were infected with more than one outbreak strain. Forty-six people were infected with E. coli , 7 people were infected with Salmonella, and 2 people were infected with both Salmonella and E. coli.
Illnesses started on dates ranging from May 31, 2026, to August 8, 2026. State and local public health officials are interviewing people about the foods they ate in the week before they got sick. Of the 34 people interviewed, 26 (76%) reported eating alfalfa sprouts. There have been 4 hospitalizations, and no deaths have been reported.
Traceback evidence collected from the restaurants and grocery stores identified alfalfa sprouts distributed by Everything Sprouts, LLC as a source of illness in this outbreak.
On August 19, 2026, FDA initiated an inspection and sample collection at Everything Sprouts, LLC. This investigation is ongoing to determine the source of contamination and whether additional products or firms are linked to illnesses.
FDA is working with Everything Sprouts and has recommended they conduct a recall. Consumers and retailers should not eat, serve, or sell alfalfa sprouts sold under the Calco and Everything Sprouts brands.
Montana’s wolf population may be declining. The state’s own updated population model shows a steady drop beginning in 2021, with a new estimate placing the population at roughly 725 wolves, far below the agency’s earlier count of over a thousand. Despite this, the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission just approved a quota allowing up to 300 wolves to be killed through hunting and trapping this season, 50 more than what the state’s own wildlife agency recommended. This decision came after 247 wolves were already killed last season alone.
Sign the petition urging the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission to rescind this quota and implement a full moratorium on wolf hunting and trapping until the population data is fully reviewed and shows real signs of recovery.
The state’s wolf management plan sets 450 wolves as the bare minimum needed to sustain the species long term. With the newest estimate showing the population well below that number, and still trending downward, allowing hundreds more deaths this season moves Montana further from recovery, not closer to it. The Commission made this decision despite overwhelming public opposition, with over 90 percent of public comments calling for fewer wolves to be killed, including many asking for hunting and trapping to stop altogether.
Wolves are native to Montana and play an essential role in the state’s ecosystems, something Montana’s own wildlife agency acknowledges. They live in tightly bonded family packs, and every wolf killed disrupts that structure for the pack left behind. A moratorium would give the population the chance to actually recover, using data the state trusts enough to publish, rather than data it ignores when setting kill quotas.
Sign the petition and demand the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission stop the killing and protect the wolves that remain.
K-9 Chaos was not a dog who did his job. He was a dog who had DECIDED, completely, permanently, without reservation, that Lieutenant Marcus Webb was coming back for him. No matter how long it took.
At Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, on the morning of August 30th, 2021, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois sat in an empty aircraft hangar. The last American plane had left six hours ago. The evacuation was over.
Chaos had been left behind.
Not intentionally. The chaos of the withdrawal. The panic. The rush. Webb had been separated from Chaos during the final evacuation. Put on a different plane. Told Chaos would be on the next flight.
There was no next flight.
Chaos survived the first day alone. Waiting at the hangar where Webb had left him.
Chaos survived the first week. Scavenging food from abandoned military supplies.
Chaos survived 47 days in Taliban-controlled Kabul. Alone. Hiding. Waiting.
Because Chaos survived on the belief that Webb wouldn’t leave him forever.
Back in the United States, Webb was losing his mind. Filed reports. Called congressmen. Contacted rescue organizations. Went on the news.
“I left my dog in Afghanistan,” he said on CNN, his voice breaking. “I left my brother. And I’m going to get him back.”
The military said it was impossible. Kabul had fallen. Taliban controlled the airport. No way to extract a dog.
Webb didn’t care about impossible.
He contacted Pineapple Express, a veteran-run extraction operation. Gave them Chaos’s last known location. Sent photos. Videos. Anything that could help.
For 47 days, Webb didn’t sleep. Didn’t eat properly. Just waited for news.
On October 16th, 2021, his phone rang.
“We found him,” the voice said. “We found Chaos.”
A rescue team had infiltrated Kabul. Used Webb’s intel. Found Chaos still at the hangar. Still waiting. Forty-seven days later.
Chaos was emaciated. Dehydrated. Traumatized.
But alive.
The extraction took three days. Smuggling Chaos out of Taliban-controlled territory. Through checkpoints. Through danger.
But they got him out.
On October 19th, 2021, Chaos landed at Dulles International Airport. Webb was waiting on the tarmac.
When they opened the crate, Chaos didn’t move. Stared at Webb like he was seeing a ghost.
“It’s me, brother,” Webb said, kneeling down. “I came back. I promised I’d come back.”
Chaos stepped out slowly. Walked to Webb. Collapsed into his arms.
The reunion video went viral. Seventeen million views in three days.
But what people didn’t see was what happened after.
For six months, Chaos wouldn’t sleep unless Webb was in the room. Wouldn’t eat unless Webb fed him. Wouldn’t go outside unless Webb went first.
“He’s terrified I’ll leave him again,” Webb said in an interview. “And I don’t blame him. I left him once. In the worst place. At the worst time. He waited 47 days for me. And I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure he knows I’m never leaving again.”
Three years later, Chaos still sleeps with his head on Webb’s chest. Still follows him everywhere.
Still making sure Webb doesn’t disappear.

There’s still plenty of time to enjoy a summertime treat—after all, it’s not technically fall until September 22 this year. But if you partake in a classic New England summer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just published information on the latest ice cream recall that they say was initiated on August 14.
Based in Skowhegan, Maine, Gifford’s Dairy has reportedly recalled a total of 3,585 one-quart containers of its HomeMaine ice cream brand’s Power Play Fudge flavor.
The trigger for the recall was “Potential foreign object contamination: rubber pieces,” according to the FDA. Though details aren’t confirmed, this may have come from production equipment that broke off into the recipe during processing.
Customers or accounts that purchased the product may identify the recalled ice cream by reported lot code of 26184, plus a “best by” date of 08/27/27. Product UPC is listed as 8 60864 00030 7.
The FDA report says product was distributed into Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont. A store locator on their site shows the Power Play Fudge flavor—an apparent tribute to Bruins hockey, including “fudge-filled chocolate ‘pucks’”—sold through retailers such as Hannaford, Shaws, and possibly others.
On Wednesday, August 19, the FDA classified the event as a Class II recall. This means their experts have determined it as “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
On the company’s website, Gifford’s calls itself a fifth-generation ice cream producer, sourcing milk and fruit locally. The company reports having three family-owned and operated stands, and “over 2 million gallons of ice cream in grocery stores, independent ice cream shops, colleges, universities, and restaurants.”
This latest incident follows the Dairy Queen ingredient recall earlier this summer in a nearby U.S. region.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
