Waitrose issues urgent product recall warning for egg pot over salmonella fears

Waitrose issues urgent product recall warning for egg pot over salmonella fears

Yahoo2 days ago
Waitrose has issued an urgent recall over concerns of salmonella being traced in one of their ready-to-eat snacks.
On Tuesday, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a statement that confirmed Waitrose is recalling its Egg and Spinach Protein Pot over salmonella concerns.
The news suggests that traces of salmonella may have been potentially detected, and contaminated products are not safe to eat.
The recall applies to 90g snack pots that have a use-by date between 31 July 2025 and 01 August 2025.
Shoppers who may have purchased these items are being encouraged to return the products, where they'll receive a full refund.
Stores will also display recall posters in-store, providing additional information about the returns, and staff will be notified of the recall.
'If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For further information, please contact Waitrose Customer Care 0800 188 884, Option 4,' the announcement reads.
According to the FSA, people displaying signs and symptoms of salmonella, such as fever, diarrhoea and belly cramps, are being advised to stay away from schools, offices and nurseries until they've stopped having symptoms. This is to reduce the chance of the bacteria being passed on to others.
A statement from Waitrose read: 'We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience it has caused.'
Most UK food recalls go through the FSA, which releases announcements about any urgent incidents that may impact consumers.
Just days before the Waitrose recall, Tesco also issued a recall over concerns regarding salmonella in its Tesco pasta salads.
What is salmonella?
Salmonella is a bacterial infection that is commonly associated with food poisoning.
In most cases, the bacteria come from contaminated poultry, eggs, meat, raw fruit and vegetables, unpasteurised milk or cheese and in some cases it can be deadly.
According to the latest figures, salmonella infection cases have soared to their highest level in the UK in over a decade.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) revealed there was a 17.1% rise in salmonella and Campylobacter infections across England between 2023 and 2024.
According to health experts, the rise in cases could be attributed to reduced regulation and a weakening in standards and food checks post-Brexit.
People are being reminded about the importance of washing their hands in order to reduce the spread of bacteria.

City takeaway slapped with zero-star hygiene rating

A Liverpool takeaway has been hit a zero-star hygiene rating. Cubana African Cuisine specialises in Cameroonian and other African dishes and offers catering and event services. The Prescot Road venue is known for its traditional serving of dishes, including Ndole (Cameroonian Bitterleaf), Eru (organic green vegetables cooked with meat and fish), Jollof Rice (a West African rice dish), and more. On its website, Cubana African Cuisine invites guests to 'sit down and relax' in the three-storey complex while watching sports events on the three large screens. The venue also boasts a VIP lounge and a function room to cater for birthdays, christenings, stag and engagement parties. READ MORE: New bakery business moving into eyesore building READ MORE: I woke up one day and was like 'I'm here, I survived' - there is a reason I'm still here The website added: 'At Cubana, we serve you in many ways to de-stress and enhance your lifestyle.' On Wednesday, June 11, environmental health inspectors working in partnership with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) gave the venue a zero hygiene rating. The ECHO reached out to the business on several occasions for comment, but without success. When we visited during the listed opening hours on Google, the shutters were down on two occasions. Cubana African Cuisine hasn't posted to its social media within weeks either. On the date of the inspection, several concerns had been raised about conditions inside the takeaway, with 'urgent improvement necessary'. The environmental health workers said improvement was needed in food handling, cleanliness, the condition of the facilities and buildings, and food safety management. Liverpool Council's environmental health service conducts food hygiene inspections to ensure that food served to the public is safe to eat. Officers can turn up unannounced and can take food samples and photographs to support any investigation. Unless there is an immediate risk to health, businesses that received bad ratings are given time to make changes so that things improve. They can also ask to be re-inspected or appeal the verdict handed down by officials. A brief report available on the FSA website said the business needed to make 'urgent improvements " in food preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling, and storage. The same was said for the venue's layout, ventilation, and hand-washing facilities.

New at-home lab test gives postpartum mothers real answers—before the six-week checkup

A postpartum care revolution that finally puts moms first. America's postpartum experience is broken. By the time a mother finally sees her OB at six weeks postpartum, she's already endured some of the hardest weeks of her entire life with little medical oversight. In my case, after my first child was born I was in excruciating urethra pain that I thought was normal, because there was no doctor's visit to catch it. For other moms, postpartum depression plagues their first few weeks of motherhood. Other women experience the crisis of postpartum preeclampsia without medical oversight, trying to determine if their symptoms are normal or intervention-worthy. What if moms were screened far before a medical crisis occurs postpartum? That's the promise behind a new innovation from Trellis Health: the first FDA-cleared, at-home postpartum lab panel designed specifically to catch health issues before they spiral. Created by moms for moms, this tool fills a critical gap in maternal healthcare and provides medically actionable insights. Related: This new at-home program is redefining postpartum care for moms The postpartum data cliff is real—and dangerous Here's the current reality: Women receive rigorous testing throughout pregnancy. But once the baby arrives, all that data collection… disappears. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the first 40 days after giving birth are critical to a mother's long-term health—yet our system treats them like a footnote. Roughly 1 in 5 mothers will experience a postpartum mood disorder. Up to 10% will face thyroid dysfunction. Half of women with gestational diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years. Yet many won't receive a single lab test between delivery and the standard six-week checkup. 'We test hundreds of biomarkers during pregnancy. Then we test nothing,' said Trellis Health co-founder and CEO Dr. Estelle Giraud. 'That's a healthcare failure.' A test designed for the way moms actually live For $239 (HSA/FSA eligible), the Trellis test offers a finger-to-fridge solution: a painless blood collection patch you stick to your upper arm. In ten minutes, it collects a sample to analyze more than 30 biomarkers—from thyroid function and hormone levels to inflammation and cardiovascular risk. Results arrive within 3–4 days and integrate directly into the Trellis app, which serves as a digital 'care in your pocket' with asynchronous midwife support and a full health timeline. 'Six weeks is a perfect moment to catch things like nutrient deficiencies before they spiral into fatigue, mood, and lactation issues,' Giraud said in an interview with The Bump. Related: Why nutrition is the missing piece in postpartum care Why this is a lifeline For moms managing naps, cluster feeds, and toddler tantrums, the idea of booking labs, securing childcare, and making it to a clinic is often laughable. And for those with limited healthcare access—rural families, single moms, uninsured patients—Trellis could be the only lab work they receive during this vulnerable window. 'I had gestational diabetes, and this was easier than my CGMand this is easier than my CGM [Continuous Glucose Monitoring]—the whole process was simple and so straightforward,' said beta tester Amara Bell. Experts urge thoughtful use—but recognize its potential Dr. Christine Greves, an OB-GYN at Orlando Health Women's Institute, told The Bump she's excited by the test's proactive potential, especially since over half of maternal deaths occur after delivery and most are preventable. But she also cautions that hormone levels in postpartum bodies are naturally in flux and that test results should always be interpreted in partnership with a trusted provider. In other words: Data is powerful—but it's still just a starting point. A test—and a message—that puts women in charge This test is a wake-up call for a healthcare system that treats birth like a finish line instead of a starting point. For too long, postpartum recovery has been framed as a private struggle. Moms are told to 'listen to their bodies' but given no tools to actually understand them. Trellis flips that script by putting clinical-grade insight into a mom's own hands. What you can do now: Bring this data to your six-week checkup: Ask about iron, thyroid, and vitamin D levels. Request follow-ups if anything feels off. If you're pregnant or postpartum you can pre-order the test at Financial hardship options are available; email support@ to apply. Advocate for systemic change: Paid leave, universal postpartum check-ins, and real investment in maternal health shouldn't be optional. Because 'just tired' should never be the answer when something deeper is going on. Sources: New At-Home Lab Test Closes Gap In Postpartum Care. 2025. Forbes.

Table of Experts: The future of health care

Hiring continues to trouble area health care providers Though insufficient payment, rising costs and political uncertainty vex Western New York's health care industry, finding and keeping clinicians and staff has remained at the top of their challenges since the pandemic. Industry leaders joined Buffalo Business First Publisher John Tebeau to discuss how they manage to go about their missions to serve the public amid the obstacles. Ultimately, greater collaboration and conversation could be essential to their futures. Joining Tebeau were: Melissa Farrell, COO, Spectrum Health & Human Services, 25 years in the mental health field Raymond Ganoe, president and CEO, Evergreen Health, 30 years in health care James Garvey, executive vice president and COO, Catholic Health, appointed in 2020 after serving in health care markets in the Midwest Dr. Robert Zielinski, oncologist and associate medical director, Buffalo Medical Group, 34th year in practice ATTRACTING WORKERS Health care in general is struggling with staffing and working toward a solution that will get qualified people on the job. The situation became especially critical post-Covid when many baby boomers left the workforce. There was an erosion of talent right across the board but especially in clinical areas, Garvey said, and that left a chasm in the workplace. 'You bring in all these new people, and they don't have those experiences, and you don't have that senior person who could provide that oversight,' Garvey said. In addition to doubling down on recruiting initiatives, the Catholic Health system recognized the need to aggressively move toward further development of leadership. One such program involves identifying early leaders in mid-level careers and assigning them to a sponsor who will work with them toward a leadership goal, Garvey said. The panelists agreed that the mission of an organization is increasingly important in the hiring process. 'You end up having happier employees that stay longer and are more engaged with the direction that the organization is going,' Ganoe said. 'We are bringing a lot of energy into our culture to make sure that we're picking the right people.' To do that, recruitment needs to happen at area colleges and universities where students are informed of the varied organizations in the Buffalo region, he said. The big hospital systems might be an obvious choice for some but given the array of options and their unique missions, students might be turned on to and find a better fit with other types of providers. It is critical to ask the right questions during the interview to make sure the job candidate is aware of what your mission is and those things that are important for your organization. 'They have to pick you, and you have to pick them,' Ganoe said. Evergreen provides primary care, pharmacy services and mental health care that grew out of the world of HIV and AIDS as those conditions became more treatable. The focus expanded to include populations that have been historically disenfranchised in Western New York, Ganoe said. Evergreen is a $135 million organization employing more than 600. One of the reasons why the culture phenomenon is important, Zielinski said, is a generational shift in the approach to work. The Buffalo Medical Group traditionally operated under a production model, where individuals are given the flexibility to work as much or as little as they want and be paid a salary commensurate to what is produced. There are fewer and fewer who embrace high productivity, he said. Greater numbers of physicians and staff are burning out because that is not how they want to practice, Zielinski said. The practitioners in their 40s and established in their careers are less concerned with the salary differences between working for the medical group and positions at hospitals, Zielinski said. They find greater job satisfaction with the schedule of the medical group: no weekends, overnights or holidays. Not so with younger entrants into the field, who will leave one job for another over 50-cents an hour, Zielinski said. What truly frustrates Zielinski, he said, are the job candidates who are hired and given a start date but don't show up and don't respond to further communication. They are never heard from again. 'Presumably they've got a number of lines in the water, and they got a better nibble somewhere else, but they don't have that sense that they might interact with this place someday. We're a small community,' Zielinski said. It is a similar situation at Spectrum Health with job candidates 'ghosting' their offers, staff being lured to other jobs for a few cents more an hour or leaving after achieving a full license from permit status, Farrell said. The organization's leaders try to impress on staff that while pay rates may be higher at other practices, she said, Spectrum offers benefits that amount to 30% more income such as malpractice insurance, health insurance and a 401(k) and it handles all billing. 'The greatest resource and capital is our people,' Farrell said, 'so that is where we invest to the best of our ability, to help people want to stay with us. When we have turnover, we lose our client population. If you have a therapist you trust, and they leave, you leave, too.' Spectrum Health estimated that when a single clinician leaves, the organization loses tens of thousands of dollars in lost clients and the amount it costs to hire a replacement and the months it takes to train that person, Farrell said. REIMBURSEMENT When health care leaders talk about reimbursement, it is never good news. For example, health care organizations that are heavily invested in physical plants and equipment are challenged by the anticipated cost of maintenance and replacement and the prospect of purchasing the newest technology and new business opportunities, Garvey said. None of it is inexpensive. Another example: To accept various insurances, providers are faced with additional infrastructure costs, because each insurance company has its own set of rules and processes involved. Those costs to the providers are unreimbursed. 'The priority is about patient care and safety,' Garvey said. 'Unfortunately the marketplace here in New York is a very challenging market from the reimbursement perspective.' Buffalo Medical Group had adopted the electronic medical record system known as Epic prior to the pandemic, but Covid forced the evolution of it. Zielinski bemoaned the government's lack of commitment to reimburse its use. He has little confidence in the reimbursement system, calling it 'badly broken.' 'Health care is the only industry out there where the insurance companies control the production. You don't have the people who insure buildings and property dictating construction and automobile building,' he said. 'What our reimbursement system pays for is not remotely what providers or our patients would say is the most important thing to them.' The current system is unsustainable in part because of the 'enormous sums of money' going to pay the pharmaceutical companies. He said he believes that health insurance is getting so expensive that individuals and employers eventually will get priced out, which will lead the country to a government-run single-payer system. 'The reimbursement system is so broken that we need a major overhaul,' Zielinski said. 'I'm not sure if single-payer is the best answer, but I just worry that it's going to be what we fall to because pharma is going to bust the system.' POLITICAL CLIMATE The panelists shared the opinion that things are unlikely to improve amid the uncertainty, instability and lack of clarity being put forward in the current state and national political environment. There was realization in New York State that the healthcare system is broken, so the answer was to spend a lot of money on care, Ganoe said, but the best outcomes were elusive. There are way too many middlemen, and by the time the dollar goes through insurance, there's a nickel left for providers, he said. The move toward a value-based care system would incentivize providers to keep patients healthy. It would give the providers ownership and allow them to be innovative and think creatively about treatment and potentially make more money. 'It feels like now the goal posts have changed, and we're not really going there anymore but we don't know where we're going. So, organizations like ours that have a foot in a fee-for-service world and a foot in a value-based-payment world are now asking, 'What do we do?',' Ganoe said. 'The administrative oversight and energy it is taking to try to figure out where this is going should be put into recruiting, culture and taking care of our employees and our patients, but it is now being diverted toward crisis management. That doesn't help.' EMERGING TRENDS If there are positives that emerged from the pandemic it is the easing of the stigma associated with mental health issues and the awareness of the growing array of treatment services available to address them. That helped bridge the gap for some of those populations that are higher risk, Farrell said. Many of Spectrum Health's services, clients will find, have been embedded in doctors' offices and schools, Farrell said, making access especially convenient. 'You meet people where they're at, and that promotes success, that promotes linkage, and it promotes continuity of care. If you make it easy for people to get care, they're going to follow through,' Farrell said. Spectrum Health provides outpatient behavioral health services. The organization integrates mental health and substance use care for adults and children. In 2017, Spectrum Health piloted the comprehensive community behavioral healthcare center, a federal pilot project which integrated services, so clients didn't have to have more than one treatment provider, Farrell said. 'In the past if you had mental health needs but you were drinking, we would tell you we can't talk about your mental health until you stop drinking,' Farrell said. 'Then we would make them go and try and stop drinking, but when you don't take care of your mental health you drink to cope. The integration has really helped. It also focuses on holistic treatment so looking at social determinants of health, looking at housing, access to healthcare insurance, food security, those types of things.' Spectrum is expanding its services in the Allentown Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine office to include the addition of an entire floor and two more full-time clinicians. The organization, long embedded in the Williamsville high schools, is expanding services into the district's middle schools. Conversations are continuing with other districts as well, she said. 'We found in doing that is that kids have access to services and it eliminates the barriers of transportation,' Farrell said. 'If you ask a 16-year-old to carve out two hours of their week every week, it's pretty impossible to do. So they can come to us on their free period or during their lunch and get services right there. We also found that that helps to mitigate some the cultural barriers to seeking treatment.' Spectrum has addressed access to mental health services for clients living in rural areas through promoting telehealth sessions and in Wyoming County, a clinician is available for home visits for the aging population. The organization also has established peer counseling for adults, youth and parents offered by those who have lived experience with mental health care. 'When somebody approaches it and normalizes it and says 'I've been there. My child has gone through this too, and let me tell you what helped us', there's power in that, and so people are more willing to engage,' Farrell said. STRENGTH IN NUMBERS Given their shared challenges, the panelists said continued collaboration and conversation will serve to strengthen Western New York's health care market. All the region's organizations interact on a daily basis one way or another, and there are great examples of joint efforts among them, Garvey said. 'We struggle sometimes with that just because we get caught up in our own respective spaces,' he said. 'Everybody knows everybody so you can have that conversation. Just think about what you're doing the right way and start the dialogue. These conversations aren't threatening to an organization, they can challenge an organization.' THE EXPERTS: JAMES GARVEY, Executive Vice President and COO, Catholic Health DR. ROBERT ZIELINSKI, Associate Medical Director and Oncologist, Buffalo Medical Group Mobility clinic offers real hope to those suffering with paralysis expand Buffalo now offers the possibility of mobility to the paralyzed. A person who suffers catastrophic paralysis is usually discharged from the hospital after treatment for the initial injury with the unfortunate conclusion, 'There's only so much we can do.' For these patients there has been no local rehabilitative pathway to offer hope of experiencing movement like there are in Atlanta, Denver and elsewhere. If a patient doesn't have the financial resources to pay for further rehabilitation out of town, then the person endures other issues associated with lack of mobility, such as pressure sores, breathing problems, muscle atrophy and digestion issues. Those Western New Yorkers who have traveled to get the specialized rehabilitation, return and quickly lose the gains they've made because there is no supportive technology here. To serve this population in Western New York, Daemen University's Dr. Michael Brogan and Dr. Laura Edsberg developed the Institute for Mobility Innovation and Technology, known at the IMIT, located at the Villa Maria College Athletic Center in Buffalo through a partnership with the college. Among the specialized equipment at the IMIT are state-of-the-art robotically assisted machines that are used in gait training and movement. One of most expensive pieces of equipment, few exist across the country, this unit consists of a large track on the ceiling where a robot is attached with harnesses that hang down to support body weight while an individual is on a treadmill. 'The benefit of this is you can walk,' Edsberg said. 'The way our brain relearns is if you keep that pattern the same the neuroplasticity will help that gait come back. This is typically the piece of equipment people use immediately post injury to try and get walking again, even when you don't have sensation, in hopes that your brain starts to send the signals again.' As the patient improves, the role of robotics can be reduced so the patient can control more of the motion. Even if walking isn't fully restored, the patient can continue to train on the equipment to get the exercise needed to get muscles in motion and blood flowing to offset atrophy, encourage wound healing and decrease any painful muscle spasms. Another important piece of equipment is called an alter gravity treadmill where the patient is zipped into a special unit that fills with air and reduces gravitational load so the individual can build trunk stability and improve gait. Movement is primary; everything else follows. 'Physiological effects end up being the cause of someone's poor quality of life and death, so maintenance is a big part of this,' Brogan said. 'If you wanted to feel better you can go to a gym or you could walk around the park. Where do people who can't move go?' The IMIT was funded with $2 million foundation grants and $1.2 million from then state Senator Tim Kennedy for equipment. The foundation money also supports maintenance of the equipment. This type of rehabilitation can return the individual to a more functional, independent state and lead to a better quality of life potentially including a return to work, Brogan said. 'They may not be a mail carrier, but they could work at the post office doing any job inside the building,' Brogan said. It also cuts costs by reducing the number of clinicians needed to work one-on-one with the patient at a time. Brogan, executive vice president and provost at Daemen University and a career-long physical therapist, and Edsberg, professor of natural sciences and the director of the Center for Wound Healing Research, initially collaborated on research on refractory wounds, or those that won't heal. These wounds are typically suffered by those who are immobilized by paralysis through an accident or stroke or conditions such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's. The IMIT was the evolutionary result of their work. Edsberg envisions advocacy as another important aspect of the IMIT. Insurance so far hasn't covered such rehabilitation. She expects to approach insurance companies with data from the IMIT hopeful that insurers will recognize not only the many patient benefits but the cost savings from decreased hospitalizations from complications from immobility. Research also will involve the most effective number of weekly visits to the IMIT for optimum results. The IMIT additionally provides Daemen students with the unique opportunity to work with the state-of-the art equipment. Daemen will also create opportunities for other schools to do neural placements at the IMIT program. 'Then when they go out to their jobs in their community, they will realize they should be advocating for this for their patients,' Edsberg said. 'I think this will put them ahead of other graduates.' THE EXPERTS: DR. MICHAEL BROGAN , Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost DR. LAURA EDSBERG, Co-founder and Co-Director of the Institute for Mobility Innovation & Technology (IMIT) D'Youville to bring more primary care doctors to WNY expand D'Youville University is months away from establishing the area's second academic training ground for primary care doctors. The institution is expected to welcome the first students into its College of Osteopathic Medicine a year from now. The program will further enhance D'Youville's array of health care programs that together align with a broader vision of transforming health care and health care education in Western New York, university President Dr. Lorrie Clemo said. Clemo said it is the most ambitious project ever undertaken by the university. The $120 million price tag covers the purchasing of the building, renovations and hiring the faculty. The 285 Delaware Ave. location, a mile away from the university's main campus on Porter Avenue, is significant in that it will bring hundreds of medical students to the heart of downtown Buffalo. The first class of students will begin in the fall 2026 semester. Full enrollment of 720 is expected in six years. The health care sector is eagerly awaiting them. About 27,000 primary care doctors in New York State are expected to retire within the next five years. 'What our program is going to do is to train primary care physicians, but our intent is to try to keep them here,' Clemo said. 'We know specifically that 80% of the students that received the doctor of osteopathy degree stay in primary care.' Clemo said she came to D'Youville in 2017, attracted to coming to Buffalo and moving into the president's role because the university was well positioned as a healthcare education institution. 'In the last eight years we've been able to distinguish ourselves with the great programs that prepare our students for the new work that is evolving in higher education and in health care right now,' Clemo said. 'More importantly what I saw here was a community that cared about improving health care, and I saw that we would be able to be a part of that vision, that movement that started with the BNMC (Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus). We've become very connected to that.' Doctors of osteopathy differ from medical doctors in that they practice holistic medicine, disease prevention and alternative therapies. The university has forged more than 1,200 articulation agreements with primary care physicians and has 400 partners who have signed on to be part of the medical students' training in their third and fourth years. The partners are geographically diverse, from health centers and urban trauma centers in Buffalo to rural practices in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. Clemo also is hopeful of forging collaborations with area institutions so their students who want medical education can come to D'Youville without having to repeat courses. The program is primarily recruiting local students, but expectations are it will be attractive to those students outside of Western New York and New York state, Clemo said. 'Our intent is to keep students here after they graduate because they'll be connected with the great caregivers in the region,' Clemo said. Another objective of the local focus is to help achieve the comfortability that patients will have graduates of D'Youville's program. 'We need physicians who understand the communities that they're going to be working in,' Clemo said. 'So that's part of the reason we've designed the program so that students from the community will be able to train in the community and also be able to practice in the community once they finish their training.' The program is anticipated to mirror the timeline of D'Youville's pharmacy program where a student enters as a freshman and achieves a doctorate in five years, Clemo said. The medical students then attend residency programs after graduation. D'Youville has more than 35 healthcare programs whose students interact and work in teams across the disciplines in the interprofessional approach that is embedded in the university's curriculum. This approach enables the communication and collaboration that benefits the patient. The addition of the medical students will enhance that experience for the students across all the majors. 'Our graduates will have had that experience not only in simulation but working with each other with real patients prior to going into the work world,' Clemo said. D'Youville is planning to build 188 single rooms in a new residence, specifically for graduate-level students, including the medical students, at 433 West Ave. Construction is expected to begin in January and be completed by August 2027. The aim is to ease the burden on students from having to find accommodations in Buffalo's housing shortage.
