Urgent recall issued for shampoo contaminated with harmful bacteria
A shampoo brand has issued a recall over possible contamination fears.
On Wednesday, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of Henkel's Tec Italy Totale Shampoo because it may contain the bacteria Klebsiella oxytoca which can cause infections in the eyes, nose, and skin.
According to the recall, Henkel's Mexico branch voluntarily recalled 1,068 units of the shampoo on Tuesday.
The shampoo bottles are packaged in 33.81 fl. oz./1 L, green plastic bottles marked with lot number 1G27542266 on the side of the bottle. The UPC code is 7501438375850.
The bottles were shipped through distributors in both New York and California. The recall notes bottles may have been distributed to other states in the U.S. and were sold at retail.
Anyone who has purchased the shampoo is encouraged to stop using it and return it to where they bought it in exchange for a refund.
No customers have reported any harm or injuries associated with using the shampoo.
The recall comes shortly after a major supermarket recalled some 'free from' meal kits after it failed to mention on the label that the products contained an allergen.
Tesco issued a recall this week for the Katsu curry meal kit and sweet and sour meal kit after the range didn't flag that the products contained soy, which some people may be allergic to.
The recall affects Katsu curry kits with the best-before date up to and including 12 December 2025 and the sweet and sour meal kit with the best-before date up to and including 19 May 2025. No other products are affected by the recall.
Officials at the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which published the alert, said the products sold in 250g packs are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soy.
Customers were told not to eat the products and instead return them to any Tesco store for a full refund.
Frito-Lay also issued a recall on certain bags of Tostitos chips Wednesday over an undeclared allergen.
The company issued a press release about a limited number of 13-ounce bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips being recalled in the U.S. The affected bags could mistakenly have nacho cheese tortilla chips, meaning they may contain an undeclared milk allergen.
The recalled product was distributed to a range of retailers across 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The affected product has a UPC of 28400 52848 and a 'guaranteed fresh' date of May 20, 2025. The bags will also have certain manufacturing codes, which are listed in the press release.
Chip bags were first sold on March 7, with less than 1,300 bags included in the recall. There have not been any reported allergic reactions due to the product. No other Tostitos products have been affected by the recall.

Check Your Freezer—Popular Ice Cream Recalled Due To Potentially Life-Threatening Allergen
Summer is just around the corner and ice cream is the quintessential warm weather treat. But if you have a carton or two chilling in your freezer, you might want to check the label. Breyers recently issued a recall on 6,668 cases of ice cream due to "undeclared allergens and mislabeled product." According to the FDA, the voluntary recall was initiated on June 2 because Breyers Rocky Road, which contains the almonds, was packaged incorrectly. The ice cream was packaged in Breyers Chocolate Truffle tubs with Rocky Road lids, which may be a concern for anyone who purchased the product and has a nut allergy. While almonds are a tree nut, the Chocolate Truffle tubs offer misleading ingredient information. The tubs say "may contain tree nuts" while the lids say "contain almonds." The FDA classified the recall as a Class II, which is defined 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." So how do you know if your ice cream is affected? Take a peek at the packaging of your Breyers ice cream tub. Affected products have the lot number: JUL1026GB3 and UPC code: 077567457288. In a statement to PEOPLE, Breyers says: "People with an almond allergy should not consume the product due to risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. The safety and quality of our products is our top priority. For more information, consumers can visit or call 1-800-931-2826."

Over 44,000 pounds of shrimp recalled due to possible listeria contamination
A seafood company has issued a recall on its Cooked & Peeled Ready-To-Eat Coldwater Shrimp Meat due to a potential listeria contamination. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall from Bornstein Seafoods Inc., which affects 44,550 pounds of shrimp, after a routine sampling detected listeria monocytogenes. As noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeria is a 'bacteria that can contaminate many foods.' Although symptoms can vary, a listeria infection 'can cause invasive illness and intestinal illness.' Listeria infection is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States, killing roughly 260 people per year. According to the FDA's report, the shrimp was sold in either one-pound or five-pound bags and was distributed to retailers in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia of Canada. The affected bags of shrimp are listed alongside the product's UPC code and lot number in the report. No illnesses have currently been reported. All customers who have purchased the affected bags of shrimp are urged to return them to the place of purchase in exchange for a full refund. Any questions regarding the recall can be directed to the company using the email address Andrew@ The recall came on the same day P. East Trading Corp. recalled its Salted Smoked Split Herring because it may have been contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause illness or death. Botulism is a rare but serious condition caused by a toxin that attacks the body's nerves. Symptoms include general weakness, dizziness, double-vision, trouble with speaking or swallowing, difficulty in breathing, abdominal distension, and constipation. There have been no reported illnesses so far. The last two years have also seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed. Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from food-borne illnesses in 2023.
