FDA Issues Highest Risk Warning For Dubai Chocolate Recall
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Food and Drug Administration has updated their recall of a batch of Dubai chocolate spread to Class I, their highest level, due to risk of salmonella contamination. In an emailed statement to Newsweek, the company that produced the product, Emek Gıda, said: "A Salmonella positive result was identified in 3 out of 24 tested bundles of our pistachio-cocoa kadayıf cream product during routine control testing conducted while the products were stored at the importer's warehouse in the United States." Why It Matters The so-called Dubai chocolate, a chocolate bar containing a pistachio and kadayif filling, became popular after going viral on TikTok in 2024. The original chocolate bar was created by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, but variations have been made by several brands, including Emek Gıda, whose product is the one affected by the current recall.

A spread variation of the popular product has been recalled in the U.S. Getty Images/Smith Collection/Gado What To Know American retail chain World Market initiated a voluntary recall of a batch of Spread Pistachio Cacao Cream with Kadayif made by Turkish company Emek Gıda. The items were recalled after samples were tested by the FDA and tested positive for Salmonella contamination. The recalled products, which were distributed between June 11 and July 9, have the batch code 250401, which can be identified on top of the plastic lid of the jar. They are labelled with a best before date of April 1 2027. The affected products were sold in World Market stores in 32 states across the country. No illnesses associated with the product have yet been reported, the FDA said. The recall of the Emek products was first initiated on July 14, and three days later was updated by the FDA to a Class I classification. A Class I recall represents "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death," according to the FDA. In a statement to Newsweek, Emek Gıda said that it was cooperating with the FDA and conducting a comprehensive review. It added that the affected products were limited to a specific batch intended solely for the U.S. market, and that products sold in other countries were not affected. The FDA noted in the recall notice that Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella can experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In extreme cases, the bacteria can get into the bloodstream and cause more severe illnesses such as arterial infections or endocarditis. What People Are Saying Emek Gıda said in a statement to Newsweek: "The limited number of positive samples indicates that the issue requires a thorough evaluation not only of the production stage but also of transportation, logistics, and storage conditions throughout the supply chain. Accordingly, we are conducting a comprehensive review of all stages to implement necessary preventive measures." The FDA said in a recall notice: "The firm initiated the recall after samples of the product were tested by the FDA and the products tested positive for Salmonella." What Happens Next Customers who purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them and to either return them to their place of purchase for a full refund or discard them, the FDA said.

The Days Are Numbered for D.C. Institution Steak ‘n Egg Diner
Steak 'n Egg, the iconic upper Northwest greasy spoon patronized by American University students after last call, neighborhood regulars, politicians, and Hollywood celebrities alike since 1993, is officially on the market (4700 Wisconsin Avenue NW). All-day Steak 'n Egg keeps customers full with hefty plates of country-fried steak and gravy, potato hash patties, whimsical funnel cake fries, and burgers. Steak 'n Egg Diner Developer Constandinos Economides tells Eater that 'labor costs' induced by Initiative 82 — an under-debate D.C. law in effect since 2023 that requires businesses to gradually pay tipped staff more — is one reason cited for the closing. Taxes are the other cause for pulling the plug. A new lease listing for the 2,340-square-foot space shows availability as soon as July 31, but Economides says 'we're continuing to operate' with no set closing date. The retro-styled diner expanded on-site in recent years to include a 50-seat patio, room for 92 inside, and modernized touches like a dish-toting robot. Steak 'n Egg, once a 24/7 operation with quite the late-night crowd, is now only open until 8:45 p.m. The Tenleytown corner's diner roots date all the way back to 1931 as now-defunct breakfast chain Toddle House; a Steak 'n Egg Kitchen franchise took over decades later before locally owned Steak 'n Egg slid in the same year President Bill Clinton took office. Agora completes the DMV trifecta Agora, D.C.'s Mediterranean mainstay since 2010 that expanded to Northern Virginia in 2019, debuts its third area location next spring in Maryland. Tucked at the foot of Bethesda's Hyatt Regency Hotel (7400 Wisconsin Avenue), executive chef Ismet Sahi continues to spotlight Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese flavors across a meze menu that shows love for Maryland farms. A familiar selection of flame-grilled kebabs, cold-pressed olive oil, fresh seafood, and house-made künefe and pistachio souffle. Urbane Architects, behind Agora's recently renovated Dupont flagship and Tysons Corner outpost, will also design the dining room, full bar, sunlit patio, and private rooms in Bethesda. Navy Yard's Ama is a 'bipartisan hot spot': NYT All-day Ama offers aperitivo hour at the bar. Giada Paolini/Ama The New York Times did a deep dive this week on D.C.'s year-old northern Italian standout Ama, calling the Eater 38-designated restaurant a bright bipartisan light amidst the polarizing political climate on nearby Capitol Hill. Both sides of the aisle are apparently breaking bouncy focaccia here as of late, from Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) to Food and Drug Administration commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. NYT hypothesizes that chef Johanna Hellrigl's 'anti-additive menu and a vow to bar all manner of toxicity' – in the food, water, and even the cleaning supplies – is one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on. (Also, maybe it helps that 'ama' means 'love' in Italian?)
