Yahoo27-05-2025

Cucumbers and pumpkin seeds are being recalled due to Salmonella contamination.
Additionally, apple juice, canned beans and soup products are being recalled.
Some of these impacted items were sold at Kroger, Walmart and more.From pantry staples to seasonal produce, there are quite a few active recalls you should be aware of this month. These popular grocery items were sold in nationwide retailers like Albertsons, Kroger, Walmart, Wegmans and more, so be sure to check your kitchen for these recalled products. Here are the most recent recalls to know about.
A recall on approximately 173,616 bottles of apple juice sold in 28 states was announced earlier this month, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is due to a potential contamination with patulin, a mycotoxin that, when consumed in excess, can cause internal organ damage.
The popular juice product impacted is Martinelli Apple Juice sold in four-count packs of 10-ounce bottles. They have a UPC of '0 41244 04102 2' and have a best-by date of December 5, 2026. They were sold at retail locations in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Check your apple juice immediately. Patulin is a toxic substance produced by molds that can grow on apples, so it is sometimes found in apple juice products, leading to contamination. If you are experiencing any signs of illness after drinking the recalled apple juice, talk to a health care provider as soon as possible. Call the FDA at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332) for questions about this recall.
There's an active recall on canned beans sold nationwide due to an undeclared allergen, according to the FDA. The beans affected are 15-ounce cans of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans with a best-by date of February 17, 2028.
The recalled beans were sold at the following retailers: Associated Wholesale Grocers, K-VA-T Food Stores, Hy-Vee, Meijer and Walmart. If your beans match the recall information, return them to your place of purchase for a refund. They may contain soy, which is a common allergen that's undeclared on the packaging. If you have a soy allergy and are showing symptoms of anaphylactic shock such as hives, swelling, trouble breathing, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness or tightness of the throat after eating these beans, call 911 immediately.
Those with questions about this recall can contact Vietti Food Group by emailing recall@zwanfood.com or calling 513-682-2474 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT.
Cucumbers are being recalled right now due to a multistate Salmonella outbreak. This recall affects cucumber products nationwide, including whole and sliced cucumbers sold at Walmart, sushi sold at Kroger, cucumber salads sold at Food Lion and more. If you have bought fresh cucumbers or ready-to-eat cucumber products lately, be sure to call your grocery store to be sure that their produce was not impacted by these recalls.
As of May 27, there are 26 total illnesses, including nine hospitalizations connected to this recall. The following states are directly impacted by an infection in this outbreak: Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Signs of Salmonella infection (also known as salmonellosis) may not show for up to six days after consumption, and symptoms can last from four to seven days. Common symptoms of salmonellosis include fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Talk to a health care provider immediately if you're experiencing any of these symptoms after recently eating a cucumber.
There's an active recall on pumpkin seeds sold in three states and across Canada, per the FDA and Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). This is due to a possible Salmonella contamination.
The pumpkin seeds impacted are Organic Traditions Jumbo Pumpkin Seeds. In Canada, they were sold in 227-gram packages with UPC '6 27733 00175 5' and printed code 'L250212160' or 'L250319170,' as well as in 454-gram packages with UPC '6 27733 00180 9' and printed code 'L250319171.' Additionally, these seeds were sold in New Jersey, New York and Virginia with lot code "L250320200" and expiration date "05/02/2027" printed on the packaging.
Check your pumpkin seeds, and if they match the above recall information, dispose of them or return them to your place of purchase for a possible refund.

You can also contact the CFIA through their toll-free number at 1-800-442-2342 or by emailing information@inspection.gc.ca.
There are two soup recalls to know about right now. First, ready-to-eat chicken soups are being recalled, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. This is due to mislabeling and an undeclared wheat allergen.
The recalled chicken soups have the correct label 'Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice SOUP with White Meat Chicken' on the lid, but they are mistakenly labeled 'Signature SELECT Chicken Corn CHOWDER with White Meat Chicken Smoke Flavor Added' on the side of the cup. They were sold at Albertsons, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Safeway and Lucky stores in the following states: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The recalled products are 24-ounce cups featuring a best-by date of June 24, 2025 and lot code '8225 5100' printed on the bottom of the packaging.
Additionally, Wegmans announced that canned beef stews sold at the chain were recently recalled. These 20-ounce cans of Dinty Moore Beef Stew may contain wood pieces, which may cause a hazard to consumers. The impacted cans are labeled with a UPC of '000-37600-21583-1' and 'Best By Feb. 2028 EST 199G T02045.'
Check your soups, and return any recalled items to your local grocery store. For questions about the ready-to-eat chicken soup recall, contact Albertsons' communications manager Jessica Keener at media@albertsons.com. For the recalled beef stew, contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 from 8 a.m. through 9 p.m. EST.

Walmart Associates Week draws big crowd to Northwest Arkansas

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/FOX24) — The annual Walmart Associates Week 2025 has brought more than 4,000 employees to Northwest Arkansas. The event originally started in 1970 as a meeting exclusively between the company's shareholders. However, in 2018 the Walton family, decided to make a weeklong event full of team building exercises, business meetings and surprise concerts. Associates from all over the world made their way to our area to help celebrate the work that the company is doing. One associate from California, Cassandra Craven, said the support from the company is overwhelming. 'What's so cool is all the associates from all walks of life, all over the globe, coming together in one place unlike anything I've ever seen,' Craven said. 'All the international teams come in… I meet a lot of people on a daily basis, but this is nothing like I've ever experienced before.' The history of the Walmart Shareholders' Meeting A marketing manager at a Sam's Club in Oklahoma, Bill Campbell, said that giving back to the Walmart community makes the whole week worth it. 'We've been going to the expos; associates went to a concert last night,' Campbell said. 'I'll tell you I've had multiple associates tell me that this is one of the best things I've ever done in their life.' The week caps off on June 6, with one final send off at Bud Walton Arena starting at 8 a.m. The final celebration will consist of a final meeting, entertainment and an appearance from Walmart president and CEO, Doug McMillon.

How tariffs are impacting communications between brands and buyers

NBC recently reported that up to 75% of S&P 500 companies anticipate being impacted by tariffs, as indicated in their earnings. Some brands, such as Walmart, have cautioned consumers to expect price increases, sparking a public back-and-forth with President Donald Trump. This has many brands asking: Is it wise to discuss the cost of business and our response to tariffs, or should we stay silent and hope to fly under the radar? Although brands may not always have an obligation to be fully transparent with their buyers, they still need to nurture customer loyalty. Proactive, honest communication goes a long way in building strong relationships, but today, communication strategies also need to be weighed against potential backlash. Clear, transparent and empathetic messaging can help buyers — both B2C and B2B — understand the necessity behind price changes and preserve brand loyalty. To communicate changes due to tariffs with clarity and care while mitigating potential pushback, consider these best practices. 1. Explain the 'why' in simple terms Buyers often lack knowledge about the origin of a product's components and their impact on the final cost. Communicate in simple terms, avoiding financial jargon, to educate buyers without overwhelming them and make the reasoning easier to understand. 2. Emphasize efforts made to avoid price changes If your brand has taken steps to minimize price impacts — such as negotiating with suppliers, absorbing costs, or improving efficiency — be sure to communicate these efforts. It's essential to note that price increases were your company's last resort to maintain the business, not its first. 3. Show empathy and appreciation Even when price increases are justified, customers are likely to still feel frustrated. Acknowledge this reality and express gratitude for their continued support of your brand. Offer incentives such as limited-time promotions, loyalty rewards or subscription discounts. These actions may provide value that outweighs any small price increases, and the gesture shows that you value the customer relationship more than just the transaction. 4. Personalize the message based on the channel The tone and format of communication should align with the platform and audience. Blogs or emails can provide greater detail and context, while social media posts can be brief, empathetic and encourage dialogue. If getting customer feedback before implementing price changes is an option, this can also inform your communications across multiple channels. 5. Focus on quality and value, not just price products. Tariffs could force some brands to produce lower-quality products while maintaining the same price, but buyers need to understand if these changes reduce the product lifespan, warranty or other factors. If environmental impacts are hallmarks of your brand, be sure to include them in your messaging, as 80% of consumers are willing to pay a higher cost for sustainable goods. 6. Maintain open channels for feedback customers to share comments and questions on select communication channels. This open dialogue can provide valuable insights into how customers perceive pricing, the risk of customer attrition, and other key factors. Apply these learnings to determine the best channel and language moving forward to help safeguard relationships. 7. Avoid politicizing the tariff issue To protect your brand from backlash, avoid laying blame or naming names. Political, economic and regulatory changes are part of everyday business. Focus business changes within that lens and refrain from creating division among your customers and other stakeholders. 8. Have a crisis response plan Some brands' actions or responses to tariffs have landed them squarely in the sights (and on the social media channels) of government leaders. Changing course or backing down on an issue can be as problematic as standing your ground. It's essential to have a crisis communications partner on standby to help monitor buyer behaviors and conversations and to help guide you through critical issues. Brands that are approaching the complexity of the tariff issue with transparency and empathy are more likely to maintain long-term trust with their customers. During times of disruption, focus on the quality and value of your products, develop clear and effective communication, and be prepared for any backlash.

Under the initiative, called 'Made Without', Sam's Club is altering its food products and beverages to offer items that are in tandem with the evolving dietary preferences of customers as more people, mainly Gen Z and millennials, turn health-conscious.
