(FOX40.COM) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety and Inspection Services announced that Kraft Heinz Foods Company recalled almost 367,812 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products that may have been adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The turkey bacon was produced from April 24 through June 11, and the following labels were recalled.
According to FSIS, the products subject to recall bear the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the label. The items photographed above were sold at retail locations nationwide, and some were sent to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.

FSIS said that officials found the program after laboratory testing at the establishments showed that the product could have been contaminated with LM. At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of customers having reactions due to the consumption of the products.
'Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected,' FSIS said.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions that sometimes could be preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, FSIS stated.
FSIS said, 'Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.'

Geographic Gaps in Maternity Care Cost Lives

TOPLINE: Analysis of 14,772,210 live births revealed that counties designated as maternity care deserts faced significantly higher maternal mortality rates than those with full access to care. Desert counties showed a 36% higher risk for maternal death and a 26% increased risk for pregnancy-related mortality. METHODOLOGY: The analysis included county-level data from the CDC Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database from January 2018 to December 2021. A total of 14,772,210 live births were analyzed across four county categories: desert (n = 720,858), low access (n = 708,668), moderate access (n = 431,188), and full access (n = 12,911,496). Researchers restricted the study population to individuals aged 15-44 years to enhance accuracy and mitigate misclassification. Primary outcome measures included maternal mortality rate per 100,000 live births, with pregnancy-related mortality rate as a secondary outcome. TAKEAWAY: Desert counties showed significantly higher maternal mortality rates than full-access counties (32.25 vs 23.62 per 100,000 live births; absolute risk difference, 8.62; 95% CI, 4.63-12.61; adjusted incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.36; 95% CI, 1.21-1.54). Desert counties also demonstrated higher pregnancy-related mortality rates than full-access counties (43.82 vs 34.72 per 100,000 live births; absolute risk difference, 9.10; 95% CI, 4.28-13.93; adjusted IRR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.13-1.41). No significant differences in maternal or pregnancy-related mortality rates were found between low-access or moderate-access counties compared to full-access counties. IN PRACTICE: 'Maternity care deserts are associated with significantly higher rates of adverse maternal outcomes because limited access to skilled practitioners delays timely interventions during critical stages of pregnancy and childbirth,' the authors of the study wrote. SOURCE: This study was led by Tetsuya Kawakita, MD, MS, from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. It was published online in Obstetrics & Gynecology. LIMITATIONS: Fatalities temporally linked to pregnancy, such as homicide, suicide, or drug overdose, were often coded as external causes on death certificates and may have been excluded from the CDC pregnancy-related mortality classification. The surge in mortality during the COVID pandemic may have accentuated existing disparities. The cross-sectional analysis precluded causal inferences regarding relationships between maternity care access and maternal outcomes. The definition of maternity care practitioners did not include family physicians who might have provided obstetric services in rural areas. Additionally, the maternity care access measure did not capture the intra-county spatial distribution of services, potentially masking access barriers in geographically extensive or sparsely populated rural counties. DISCLOSURES: This study received support from the Eastern Virginia Medical School Junior Clinical Investigator Program.

5Strands' Pet Test Demonstrates Wellness Benefits in 3rd Party Study

Pet parents across the U.S. are increasingly seeking answers to unexplained skin irritation, digestive distress, and behavioral changes in their pets. With growing awareness of food intolerances and environmental sensitivities, the demand for personalized, non-invasive wellness solutions is rising fast. 5Strands is leading the way with their pet intolerance, sensitivity, and imbalances tests, designed to help pet owners make smarter choices to restore their pet's health and vitality. But, for solutions to truly stand out in a crowded market, science-backed validation is essential. That's where consumer perception studies come into play; offering real-world insight into how products perform in everyday settings. For 5Strands, this kind of research not only supports their product claims but builds trust within the pet health community. In a recent consumer perception study conducted by Citruslabs, the Pet Intolerances & Imbalances Test demonstrated notable improvements in pets' vitality, digestion, and behavior after owners adjusted their pets' diets and environments based on the test results. By Day 45 of using the product: - 81.3% of participants said they would use the test again for other pets. - 71.9% agreed that the test allowed them to make changes that improved their pet's life. - 68.8% would recommend the test to friends and family. - 62.5% of pets experienced no upset stomachs in the last 15 days (up from 44.4% at Baseline). - 81.25% of pets experienced no diarrhea (up from 63.9%), and 65.63% experienced no vomiting (up from 55.6%). 'These results are a strong affirmation of what we hear from customers every day: our test helps pets feel better,' said Austin Collins, CEO at 5Strands. 'We're proud to offer a tool that empowers pet owners to take their pet's health into their own hands with clarity and confidence' Unlike conventional pet wellness products that treat symptoms without addressing root causes, 5Strands' test identifies potential intolerances and imbalances, ranging from food ingredients to environmental factors, so that pet owners can create tailored plans to improve their pets' overall health and comfort. The test also scored highly on user-friendliness: - 100% of participants said the instructions were easy to follow. - 69.4% agreed the test report clear and easy to understand. - 61.1% were able to interpret the results without veterinary assistance. In addition to improvements in digestive and skin health, owners observed increased eagerness to eat and reduced signs of discomfort such as excessive scratching, chewing, or biting of irritated areas. As more pet parents demand proactive, personalized health insights, 5Strands continues to innovate with science at their core. The Citruslabs study confirms that the Pet Intolerances & Imbalances Test is more than just a diagnostic tool, it's a trusted solution for the future of pet wellness.

Frontline to Sound Therapy: Carrie Oram's Story Shines in International #1 Bestselling Book Whispers of the Soul

Hospice Nurse Carrie Oram Shares Her Pandemic Story of Burnout, Grief, and Healing in #1 International Bestseller, 'Whispers of the Soul' Anthology GILBERT, AZ, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2025 / / -- Certified Hospice Nurse and holistic healer Carrie O. is one of 31 contributors featured in the newly released international #1 bestselling book, Whispers of the Soul: Stories of Resilience, Awakening, and the Power of Healing from Within. The anthology achieved international #1 bestseller status on June 21, 2025, reaching the top spots in the United States, Canada, Germany and Australia. It also secured the #1 position in Hot New Releases in three categories in the USA and internationally. In her powerful chapter titled 'Resilient Rhythms: A Nurse's Healing Journey Through COVID with Reiki and Sound,' Carrie O. shares a raw and reflective account of her experience as a frontline hospice nurse during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 26 years in end-of-life care, she was no stranger to death, but the emotional toll of the pandemic forced her to confront burnout, isolation, and the painful loss of human connection that became a hallmark of that era. 'I was drowning on the inside, day after day, burying my emotions just to push forward,' she writes, recalling the relentless fear and grief that overwhelmed her during those months. The chapter recounts the long hours she spent in both New York and Connecticut, often working in facilities that were unprepared for the virus's arrival. As the crisis unfolded, Carrie O.'s work required not just physical stamina but emotional endurance. Separated from her own family, grieving with patients remotely, and unable to provide the comforting human touch that had always been central to her role, she found herself emotionally depleted. A turning point came during a telehealth call with the wife of a dying patient. After guiding her through administering medication, Carrie O. watched the woman break down in sorrow. 'She shared that they had been married for 60 years and asked, with such quiet sorrow, how she would ever live without him.' It was in that moment that Carrie O., too, finally allowed herself to break — to grieve, to feel, and to begin her own healing process. After the pandemic subsided, Carrie O. sought out new tools to support her own recovery. She was introduced to Reiki and later to sound healing—modalities she once viewed with skepticism but which offered her unexpected relief. 'The comforting energy that filled the room, along with the intense emotions my body began to release, was unlike anything I had ever experienced,' she writes of her first Reiki session. The experience would lead her to become a Reiki Master, Sound Practitioner, and Clinical Aromatherapist. Now blending her hospice training with these holistic tools, Carrie O. offers compassionate care to patients and families with a renewed focus on emotional and energetic balance. She recalls one patient in particular whose final request was for 'the bell'—a Tibetan hand chime she used during sound healing. That moment solidified her belief that sound and energy therapies could ease not just physical symptoms, but emotional suffering as well. Whispers of the Soul captures deeply personal moments like these across all 31 authors. Each story offers insight into life's turning points—whether through illness, grief, or awakening—and serves as a testament to human resilience. Following the success of the first anthology The Call Within, Whispers of the Soul continues the series curated by Vickie Gould, founder of Life Changing Energy. All proceeds benefit Brighter Healing Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that advocates for whole body wellness, mind, body and spirit. About Carrie Oram: Carrie O. is a Certified Hospice Nurse with 26 years of experience, as well as a Certified Sound Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Clinical Aromatherapist. Based in Gilbert, Arizona, she integrates her medical background with holistic modalities to provide support that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. Her care philosophy is rooted in empathy, love, and the belief that healing goes beyond the physical.
