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. A recall of various seasoning products due to potential contamination with foreign objects has received the second-highest risk warning by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). QST Ingredients and Packaging issued a voluntary recall for four seasoning products on August 7 over the possible presence of metal fragments. On August 14, the FDA later issued a Class II risk classification for the recall. Newsweek contacted QST Ingredients and Packaging for comment by email and phone outside regular working hours. A stock image of a chef seasoning food. A stock image of a chef seasoning food. Sipa/AP Why It Matters A Class II risk classification, one of three, refers to a situation in which the "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," according to the FDA. Foreign material in food products presents health risks, including choking, damage to teeth and digestive tract injury. Small pieces of metal could obstruct airways, especially in vulnerable populations, such as children and older adults. What To Know The products affected by the recall include the following: BBQ Riblet Seasoning. UPC: QST# 5275. Lot numbers: 059251, 079251, 154251, 170251, 170252 Reduced Sodium Roast Beef Rub. UPC: QST# 6313. Lot numbers: 092251, 112251, 133251, 160251, 181251 Lemon Pepper Seasoning. UPC: QST# 6402. Lot number: 118251 Cajun Seasoning. UPC: QST# 4546. Lot number: 118251 A total of 19,731 pounds of each product were included in the recall, according to the FDA. They were distributed to California and Texas. The products were distributed to four different customers who either used them for further processing or repackaged them for retail sales, the FDA said. As of August 14, no illnesses or injuries had been reported in connection with the consumption of the recalled products. What People Are Saying Dr. Mark Fischer, the regional medical director at International SOS, previously told Newsweek: "It can be dangerous to consume metals or other foreign objects found in food. … [They] can cause cuts or internal injury and may need to be removed via a surgical procedure. If you swallow any foreign objects, it's best to consult a health care professional." Darin Detwiler, a professor of food policy at Northeastern University, previously told Newsweek: "While not as urgent as Class I recalls, Class II recalls should still be heeded, and the products should be returned or disposed of according to the instructions provided." What Happens Next The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA. Consumers who purchased the affected products should not consume them.

Healing in Motion: My Journey With Physical Therapy After Breast Cancer Treatment
There are so many benefits to physical therapy, especially after surgery, trauma, or injury. While I understood this conceptually, I had never personally experienced physical therapy – until I truly needed it. A few months after my breast cancer surgery, I underwent radiation therapy. I hadn't yet considered physical therapy, but I remember the exact moment I realized just how necessary it was. I was reaching for something – I don't recall what – but I couldn't lift my arm high enough to grab it. I tried to move slowly, hoping that would help, but no matter what I did, my arm stopped short. I had just turned 33 and thought to myself, 'This can't be my reality going forward.' At my next appointment, I shared my limited range of motion with my oncologist. She recommended physical therapy – and thus, a new challenge began. I was lucky to find a physical therapist near my home who specialized in oncology. We began with an evaluation and consultation. My second session was tough. So were the many that followed. I remember feeling weak and defeated; the pain brought me to tears. But deep down, I knew the journey would be worth it. Little by little, I began to see progress – not only in my range of motion but in the way my body felt. The persistent pain and tightness that had restricted me started to melt away. With each session, I gained something invaluable: hope, strength, and a deep appreciation for movement. My therapy included targeted massages, scar tissue work, and icing after each visit. I truly believe this hands-on care enhanced my recovery. The scar massage, in particular, helped with both healing and the overall appearance and texture of my skin. One of the things I loved most about my physical therapy plan was its simplicity. Most of the stretches and exercises could be done at home, with little to no equipment. Resistance bands and a foam roller were helpful but not required – unless prescribed by your therapist. What I learned along the way: Your body has already endured so much. Be patient. Be kind. Celebrate how far you've come, even on the tough days. Physical therapy taught me not only how to regain strength, but how to honor my healing. It's important to know: It's never too late to start physical therapy. But the sooner you begin, the sooner you'll start feeling better – physically, emotionally, and mentally. You deserve to treat yourself gently and embrace every small victory.

Salad Recall Sparks Highest Risk Warning For Consumers
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. Recalls of 15 products containing tuna salad have been given the highest-alert warning by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recalls relate to possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes in breadcrumbs used as an ingredient by Idaho-based company Reser's Fine Food. Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, and Jewel Osco stores in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa issued the recalls in mid-July. The FDA classified the recalls as Class I, the highest of three levels, on August 13. Why It Matters "Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems," the FDA warned in an initial recall notice. "Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women."
