Aldi salmon sold in 3 states recalled over 'life-threatening' allergen. Is Ohio one of them?
A brand of salmon sold at Aldi stores has been recalled in multiple states due to undeclared soy, a serious and possible life-threatening allergen, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced.
Is Ohio affected? Here's what to know.
The supplier, Santa Monica Seafood, is voluntarily recalling its 16-ounce Atlantic salmon portions with seafood stuffing since it contains soy, which the FDA says can pose a "serious or life-threatening allergic reaction" to those allergic to soy if eaten.
The grocery store chain notes in a statement on Tuesday that it immediately removed impacted products from store shelves.
The FDA says that the Atlantic salmon portions with seafood stuffing were only sold at Aldi stores in California, Nevada, and Arizona. No illnesses have been reported.
According to the recall notice, soy was not listed as an ingredient on the company's packaging during a routine inspection. The labeling error could lead to someone unknowingly consuming the product.
The Atlantic salmon portions with seafood stuffing come in 16-ounce packages with a use/freeze by date of June 2, 2025. The UPC Code is 4061459716313.
Customers who bought Aldi salmon should either discard it immediately or return the product to Aldi for a full refund.
For questions, consumers may contact Santa Monica Seafood at 1-800-969-8862, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST.

Acid spill at Cold Springs Pilgrim's plant sends 26 to hospital, police say
Minneapolis City Council calls for investigation into federal raid, and more headlines Minneapolis City Council calls for investigation into federal raid, and more headlines Minneapolis City Council calls for investigation into federal raid, and more headlines More than two dozen people were hospitalized after an acid spill at a chicken facility in central Minnesota Friday morning, police said. A peracetic acid spill occurred at the Pilgrim's facility on the 800 block of Sauk River Road in Cold Spring around 8:15 a.m., according to the city's police department. The spill was contained and the facility was evacuated. Twenty-six people were taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said peracetic acid is often used as a cleaning agent. In poultry facilities, it is often used "to reduce bacterial contamination and foot spoilage," the FDA said. The acid's concentrated form can cause "irreversible damage to skin and eyes," the FDA said, while the diluted forms can cause eye, nose, throat and respiratory irritation. The Pilgrim's facility recently underwent a $75 million expansion. Cold Spring is about 80 miles northwest of Minneapolis. This story will be updated.

The 9 best deodorants and antiperspirants for men in 2025, according to testers and dermatologists
If you haven't realized by now, men's deodorant isn't one size fits all. You have the option between deodorant and antiperspirant, then the choice of solids, gels, sprays or wipes, plus 24-, 48- or 72-hour protection. It gets kind of overwhelming to think about, but there's a purpose for every deodorant option out there. To help you break down the madness so you can choose the best deodorant and/or antiperspirant for you, we turned to a panel of experts, including dermatologists and in-house testers. For starters, we asked about the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant, and why you might want both in one product. "Deodorants mask the odor, while antiperspirants prevent you from sweating," said Dr. Monika Kaniszewska, a board-certified dermatologist based in Chicago. So, in order to stop stink and sweat, you'll want a combination of both. With feedback from our experts, we compared dozens of products, from extra-strength sweat-stopping antiperspirants to gentle, all-natural, aluminum-free deodorants, to find the best of the best. Whether you're looking for an all-natural deodorant for men, designed to stop the stink without harsh chemicals, or the best antiperspirant for men to block sweat completely, this list has you covered. Best deodorant for men overall for 2025 Other top deodorants for men we recommend for 2025 What to consider when buying the best deodorant for men How we chose the best deodorant for men FAQs Meet our experts Update, June 6, 2025: We checked all product prices, availability and specs. Our number one pick for the best men's deodorant remains unchanged. (back to top) (back to top) While some people use the terms "antiperspirant" and "deodorant" interchangeably, these are two different things. According to Dr. Camila Antia, a Houston-based dermatologist, "Antiperspirants control sweat by blocking sweat glands, usually with aluminum compounds. Deodorants, on the other hand, primarily mask odor and may contain antimicrobial agents. Some products are combination antiperspirant deodorants, providing both functions." The difference means that if excessive sweating is your main concern, antiperspirants are better suited for you than a standard deodorant. You can tell whether a product is an antiperspirant by looking for the term "antiperspirant" on the label. Furthermore, in the United States, antiperspirants are regulated by the FDA as an over-the-counter drug and have drug information panels on their labels. Many deodorants claim to be all-natural, but if you're shopping in the United States, this term means little in terms of cosmetics. However, many deodorants advertised as "natural" are free from parabens, which are preservatives often found in many cosmetics. Some research has suggested that parabens can disrupt human hormone production, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "health effects from environmental exposure to low levels of parabens are unknown." Aluminum-based antiperspirants: Various aluminum compounds are used in antiperspirants because they work to reduce the release of sweat by physically blocking it from exiting the sweat glands, chemically inhibiting sweat release, or a combination of the two. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): Baking soda acts as a deodorizer, partially by killing the bacteria that cause body odor. While baking soda is nontoxic, it can cause skin irritation. Avoid it if you have sensitive skin. Fragrances: In the United States, companies are not required to list ingredients added to products to create scents, but fragrances can cause allergic reactions. Since there's no way to identify which chemical caused the reaction, those who've had allergic reactions to fragrances should choose unscented deodorants. Solid: Solid deodorants are just that — solid rather than liquid or gel-like. Solids are often bright white, which can lead to stains on darker clothing. Invisible solid: Invisible solids are identical to other solids except they go on clear instead of white. Roll-on deodorant: Roll-on deodorants are liquid and often have a smooth, gel-like consistency. You apply these deodorants by rubbing a roller ball at the end of a tube against your skin. The biggest downside is that they can leave you feeling a little wet and sticky for a few moments until they're completely absorbed by your skin. Spray: Spray, or aerosol, deodorants are applied by spraying under your armpits, like you would a spray-on sunscreen. Gel: Some deodorants come in gel form but are applied like a solid deodorant rather than a roll-on. These deodorants don't leave stains, unlike most solids. However, they can take a while to dry. Wipe: Wipes can be an easy way to reapply deodorant throughout the day if you need to remove some sweat in the process. Most don't contain antiperspirant and tend to be on the expensive side. Many deodorants and antiperspirants are labeled "extra-strength." This usually means that they have more of whatever active ingredient (typically aluminum) included to keep you dry and smelling fresh. Figuring out whether you need an extra-strength product is a matter of trial and error. Different deodorants and antiperspirants claim to last different amounts of time. Most last for a minimum of a day, while others claim to last up to three or four days. While these results vary, you might want to choose a longer-lasting product if you forget to reapply or don't shower every day. Since deodorants and antiperspirants need to be reapplied at least once every couple of days, choosing one that you can afford to purchase on a regular basis is important. Deodorants advertised as "all-natural" and ones from luxury brands tend to be more expensive, yet may or may not contain sweat- or smell-blocking ingredients. More popular brands can sometimes be bought in bulk online, which can drive down the cost per stick. When evaluating the price of a product, make sure to check not only how many sticks of deodorant are included, but also how many ounces of product are in each stick, since each product can vary in size. (back to top) We evaluated dozens of deodorant and antiperspirant products and spoke to board-certified dermatologists, in addition to reviewing the scientific literature. We chose products that received positive reviews online that provided a breadth of features, depending on the category. We rated each product based on variables such as ingredients, cost, longevity, scents and what the product stated it was designed to do. (back to top) Yes, says Antia. "Generally, antiperspirant deodorants are considered safe for most people. They work by reducing sweat production and often contain aluminum compounds. Some individuals may be sensitive to certain ingredients, so it's advisable to check for any allergic reactions." Nope. "The strength of deodorants is not necessarily determined by gender," Antia says. "Some products may be marketed with specific scents or packaging for men or women, but the effectiveness is more related to the formulation." So if you like that lilac-scented deodorant you sniffed at the drugstore, go for it. Although the conventional wisdom is that you should apply deodorant after your morning shower, that's not when it's most effective to do so. Antia says that "it's best to apply antiperspirant to clean, dry skin at night. Sweat gland activity decreases during sleep. Nighttime application allows the active ingredients, such as aluminum-based compounds, more time to penetrate and block sweat ducts. It also allows the product to dry thoroughly and decreases the chance of irritation." That depends. Different products claim to last a variety of times: anywhere from one to three or four days. Antia says that while these claims can be true, your results depend far more on your lifestyle and biology. "Whether a deodorant can last for 48 hours depends on factors such as individual sweat rates, activity levels and product composition." No and no. Dr. Natalie Hone, a dermatologist in Houston, says aluminum is needed for a deodorant to have antiperspirant properties. "Aluminum-free deodorants work by neutralizing odor but do not reduce sweat like antiperspirants." So while you may want to avoid aluminum if you're allergic, don't worry about it giving you cancer. While it's been suggested that aluminum can cause various ailments and disorders, most notably Alzheimer's disease and breast cancer, there is no evidence that antiperspirants cause any health concerns, including no link between antiperspirant use and breast cancer. "If excessive sweating or persistent odor becomes a concern, it's advisable to consult with your dermatologist," Hone said. "They can help determine if there's an underlying medical issue or recommend suitable solutions." If over-the-counter solutions aren't working for you, there is still hope, she said. "There are several treatment options for patients with severe sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. Options include topical towelettes, oral medications and even neurotoxin injections to the area."

Republican-Led House Committee Passes Bill To Ban Hemp Products With THC
Delta-8, which contains tetrahydrocannabinol, which the FDA says has not been evaluated or approved ... More "for safe use and may be marketed in ways that put the public health at risk," according to the federal government website, is being marketed in the mid-Atlantic area, including in stores like this one in downtown Baltimore on May 12, 2022. (Karl Merton Ferron/Baltimore Sun/Tribune News Service via Getty Images) A Republican-led House committee has approved a spending bill that includes a measure to ban all hemp products with THC nationwide, a move that could upend the entire U.S. hemp industry. The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies approved on June 5 the fiscal year 2026 spending proposal in a 9–7 vote, sending it to the full Committee. The bill covers a wide range of issues, including hemp. One section of the bill would, in fact, redefine hemp under federal law to ban cannabis products that contain any 'quantifiable' amount of THC or any other cannabinoids with similar effects or marketed as such on people or animals. The language used to define hemp is similar to an amendment to the new Farm Bill that was approved last year by the U.S. House Agriculture Committee. That amendment, proposed by Republican Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, aimed to shut down the gray market for intoxicating hemp-derived products like delta-8 THC by closing the loophole created by the 2018 Farm Bill. However, it wasn't ultimately enacted by the last Congress. Still, the goal remains the same: to close the hemp loophole that's led to a flood of unregulated, intoxicating products being sold online and at gas stations nationwide, as emphasized by the Committee's press release. Specifically, the bill would redefine hemp to exclude any finished hemp products that contain cannabinoids not naturally produced by the plant, cannabinoids that are naturally occurring but were made or altered outside the plant, any quantifiable amount of THC or THCA, or other cannabinoids with similar effects on people or animals. It would also give the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to decide what counts as a 'quantifiable amount' of THC or similar cannabinoids. At the same time, industrial hemp grown for industrial purposes would be treated differently, signaling a significant change to the current hemp definition, which, under the 2018 Farm Bill, meant plants with no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight before harvest. Paula Savchenko, Esq., founding partner of Cannacore Group and PS Law Group, said that the proposed legislation, while maintaining the legal status of industrial hemp for purposes such as fiber, grain, and certain edible products intended for human consumption, 'would effectively ban the vast majority of hemp-derived cannabinoids,' adding that 'its future will depend on further deliberations in Congress and potential revisions during the legislative process.' The bill is now set for discussion and possible amendments before the full House Appropriations Committee on June 11. Hemp was legalized nationwide in 2018 with the Farm Bill, which set a limit of 0.3% THC for cannabis grown for industrial purposes. This was meant to keep hemp products from having the intoxicating effects of recreational cannabis, which remains illegal at the federal level. But the rise of hemp cannabinoid extraction opened the door to products containing intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids like delta-8 THC, which users say produces a similar high to traditional cannabis. These products are now widely sold in stores, gas stations, and online across the country. A 2022 study found they're especially popular in states that haven't legalized recreational cannabis. The gray legal status of hemp products with THC has stirred concern over both safety and regulation. Though technically legal under federal law, their effects closely mirror those of recreational cannabis, which is still banned at the federal level. That disconnect has left states scrambling, as businesses capitalize on a loophole in the Farm Bill to produce and sell these products with little oversight. The boom of hemp products with THC has, in fact, fueled what's expected to become a multi-billion dollar industry. But it has also pushed many states to step in with their own rules, some opting to regulate, others choosing outright bans. States like Minnesota, Iowa, and Kentucky have regulated products like delta-8 THC, while New York, Delaware, and Colorado, among other states, have banned them altogether. In recent months, Texas lawmakers have been trying to ban hemp products with THC. While states continue crafting their own rules on hemp products with THC, this federal bill could shut the entire market down by banning all such products nationwide and closing the loophole that allowed hemp products with THC to be sold legally under the 2018 Farm Bill. The move, however, has sparked a backlash from hemp industry associations. Jonathan Miller, general counsel for the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, said in a press statement that the group is 'deeply disappointed' with Rep. Andy Harris, Republican of Maryland, who chairs the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee. Miller accused Harris of trying to 'shoehorn a farmer-crushing, job-killing hemp ban into a spending bill,' and expressed hope that the effort will fail, as it has in the past. Meanwhile, the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) is calling on lawmakers to reject proposed language that would redefine hemp in a way that bans any product with a 'quantifiable' amount of THC. The group warns that the ban on hemp products with THC would devastate legal businesses and drive demand toward the unregulated black market.
