BREAKING NEWS Urgent recall of popular vegetable brand over listeria fears

An urgent recall has been issued after a popular line of mushrooms sold in Michigan and Ohio was found to be potentially contaminated with listeria. Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited, based in Charing Cross, Ontario, has announced a voluntary recall of three of its mushroom products. The health alert comes after routine testing by Canadian food authorities detected traces of listeria monocytogenes bacteria in 227g packages of Aunt Mid's Fresh Sliced Mushrooms. The bacteria is dangerous and can cause severe illness or even death in vulnerable individuals. The affected products include Aunt Mid's Fresh Sliced Mushrooms sold in 227g flat blue plastic containers marked with UPC 0 33383 676005 and a best-before date of 25JL04, according to the FDA. Peeters Mushroom Farm Cremini Sliced Mushrooms sold in 227g flat black plastic packaging marked with UPC 0 68414 96960 3 and the same best-before date and Peeters Mushroom Farm Thick Slice Mushrooms sold in 10lb cardboard boxes labeled with the brand's name were also recalled. The mushrooms were distributed in both Michigan and Ohio. Health officials warn they may still be in consumers' refrigerators. While no illnesses have been reported so far, listeria is known to cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems. '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 wrote. '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.' The recall was triggered after Listeria was found in a batch of Aunt Mid's mushrooms, and the other products were flagged due to being processed on the same production line. The health alert comes after routine testing by Canadian food authorities detected traces of Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in 227g packages of Aunt Mid's Fresh Sliced Mushrooms Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled mushrooms are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited is urging anyone with questions to contact the company directly at 1-519-351-1945 or toll-free at 1-800-364-1305 during business hours, Monday through Friday, from 7:00am to 3:30pm EST.

Mediterranean or plant-based diets may reduce constipation risk with age

Chronic constipation happens when a person has difficulty passing stool for at least three months or more. While people can have chronic constipation at any age, it is more common as people get older.A new study has found that following the Mediterranean diet or a plant-based diet may help lower the risk of chronic constipation in middle-aged and older adults. Researchers estimate that about 15% of the world's population lives with chronic constipation, where constipation lasts for three or more months and has a profound impact on a person's daily you can have chronic constipation at any age, it is more common as we get older. Past studies show that between 15%-30% of adults ages 60 and older have chronic constipation.'Chronic constipation is highly prevalent in older adults and significantly impairs quality of life,' Kyle Staller, MD, MPH, gastroenterologist and director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told Medical News Today. 'It also imposes a substantial burden on the healthcare system, with millions of outpatient and emergency department visits and increased medical costs. As aging is one of the largest risk factors for chronic constipation, identifying accessible, preventive strategies … (are) essential to reduce both personal suffering and healthcare utilization.' Staller is the senior author of a new study recently published in the journal Gastroenterology that found following the Mediterranean diet or a plant-based diet may help lower chronic constipation risk in middle- and older-age adults. 5 dietary patterns and their impact on chronic constipationFor this study, researchers analyzed health data for nearly 96,000 adults with an average age of 72.5 from three cohorts — the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), Nurses' Health Study II, and the Health Professional Follow-up Study (HPFS). Chronic constipation was defined as having symptoms for at least 12 weeks in a year. Researchers assessed study participants' adherence to five dietary patterns: Empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) (a tool used to measure how inflammatory a person's diet might be)Low-carbohydrate dietMediterranean dietPlant-based dietary index (PDI) (scoring tool used to determine how much of a person's diet is plant-based)Western diet'The study aimed to capture a wide spectrum of real-world eating patterns that might influence gut function,' Staller explained. 'The five dietary patterns were chosen because they represent evidence-based dietary guidelines with known cardiovascular benefits (Mediterranean diet), popular health-conscious choices (plant-based and low-carb diets), typical modern diets (Western diet), and a diet with evidence showing inflammatory potential (inflammatory diet), thus allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of dietary impacts on constipation risk.'— Kyle Staller, MD, MPHMed diet, plant-based diet helps lower chronic constipation riskUpon analysis, Staller and his team found that study participants following the Mediterranean or plant-based diets had a lower risk for developing chronic constipation.'This finding highlights the potential for long-term adherence to diets rich in vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats to lower the risk of chronic constipation, independent of total fiber intake,' Staller said. 'It supports using whole dietary patterns, not just isolated nutrients, as preventive strategies. These diets may work by modulating the gut microbiome, increasing short-chain fatty acid production, and reducing systemic inflammation — all of which contribute to improved gut motility and function,' he researchers discovered that participants who followed the Western or inflammatory diet were more likely to develop chronic diets increase risk of constipation? 'Our data suggest that diets high in processed foods, red meats, and refined grains — common in Western and inflammatory diets — may increase the risk of chronic constipation. Although the mechanism by which these effects occur was not studied, these diets may promote gut inflammation and negatively affect gut microbiota, emphasizing the importance of limiting such dietary patterns for better gastrointestinal health.'— Kyle Staller, MD, MPH'We have hypothesized that the benefits of the Mediterranean diet may be mediated through its impact on the gut microbiome,' Staller continued. 'We would like to examine the microbiome profile among those consuming a Mediterranean diet who do not develop constipation with aging and compare it to those consuming a Western diet who do develop constipation. If these studies support a mechanistic rationale for the Mediterranean diet, we would pilot a feeding study to see if the Mediterranean diet can treat older adults who have already developed chronic constipation,' he added. More constipation as we ageMNT had the opportunity to speak with Ashkan Farhadi, MD, a board certified gastroenterologist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA, and author of The Rhymes of Happiness: Weaving Science, Art and Poetry in the Pursuit of Happiness, about this study, who commented this research helps validate what doctors know what to be right with data to back it up. 'When we get older, most of the movement in the body gets slower, and that does not exclude the colon,' Farhadi explained. 'Many studies have shown as we grow older, the transit time in the colon is reduced in speed and frequencies. And it's not surprising that people get more constipated as they get older.''The other factor that is also important in this equation is [a] busy lifestyle,' he continued. 'One of the most common factors for constipation [i]s when you are busy, basically you ignore the urge, and after a while the colon gets tired sending messages and people get constipated.' 'To counter that, there are a couple of measures — one of them that is very important is diet,' Farhadi added. 'And this study is a strong, important, fact-based piece of information that we can use to help to counter that constipation.' How to encourage 'regular' bowel movementsMNT asked Monique Richard, MS, RDN, LDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Nutrition-In-Sight, for her top tips on how readers can keep their bowel movement more 'regular' and help lower their risk for chronic constipation. 'Constipation isn't just about fiber — it's about rhythm, hydration, movement, and microbiome love,' Richard explained. 'Meeting with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) can also explore the variables that could be addressed, including gut bacteria composition and metabolic pathways, as well as nutrient depletion, hydration status, and other physiological interference.'For general tips in reducing constipation, Richard recommends: Incorporating a variety of three to five servings of whole grains daily, such as oats, amaranth, quinoa, millet, rice, buckwheat, and four to six servings daily of varying fruits and vegetables based on what's local and in season. Hydrate throughout the day with water, herbal, or black and green healthy fats when cooking, as snacks, or as toppers to a meal, such as olive oil to a saute, nuts, or nut butters with fruit for a snack, or topping a salad with sesame seeds or toasted walnutsNourish the gut microbiota with foods rich in polyphenols such as berries, cocoa powder, and herbs and spices such as oregano, peppermint, sage, clove, and rosemary. The intestinal tract thrives with fresh oxygen flow and blood exchange — go for a walk, practice yoga, or participate in movement that you enjoy and can participate in on a regular basis, to help keep you magnesium intake is associated with constipation, especially in older adults. Incorporate foods rich in magnesium, such as pumpkin seeds, almonds, dark leafy greens, avocado, and and kiwi can be a delightful way to prevent constipation — add a couple for a snack with some nuts or seeds. Make a meal with beans a few times a week; add lentils to sides and main meals; snack on roasted garbanzo beans or consistent with meal time — bodies thrive on a schedule that lets them rest and digest with plenty of time in between to clean up and disseminate nutrients. Try to keep mealtime around the same times every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and plenty of time for rest between dinner and bedtime.'Real food, regular meals, and rest are non-negotiables in supporting gut health and effective elimination,' Richard added. 'The quality of input affects the output and everything in between.'
