Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause severe foodborne illness. According to the Mayo Clinic, the most common symptoms include:
Diarrhea (which may be bloody)
Fever
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
In some cases, Salmonella infection can lead to more serious complications, such as:
Arterial infections
Endocarditis (inflammation of the heart lining)
Arthritis
Certain groups, including young children under 5, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems, are at a higher risk for severe illness or complications.
How to Prevent Salmonella Infections
As per PIRG, about 14% of all food recalls in the U.S. last year were due to possible salmonella contamination.To reduce the risk of Salmonella infections, follow these simple steps:
Wash and sanitize all surfaces that have come into contact with potentially contaminated food.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after handling potentially contaminated food or sanitizing surfaces.
Avoid eating high-risk foods such as raw sprouts, especially if you are immunocompromised.
Prevent cross-contamination with pet food, ensuring that surfaces and utensils used with pet food are sanitized.
By taking these precautions, you can help protect yourself and your loved ones from Salmonella and other foodborne illnesses.
As of now, no illnesses have been reported in connection with either of the recalls. However, due to the serious nature of Salmonella contamination, consumers are urged to follow the recall instructions carefully.
If you have purchased any of the recalled tomatoes, follow these steps:
Do Not Consume: Do not eat the affected tomatoes.
Return or Discard: You can return the recalled products to the store where you purchased them for a full refund. If returning is not an option, discard the tomatoes safely.

First drug to treat bronchiectasis lung condition approved by FDA
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Insmed's daily bronchiectasis pill, brensocatib, which will be sold under the brand name Brinsupri. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo For the first time, people with bronchiectasis will have a treatment option. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Insmed's daily pill brensocatib, which will be sold under the brand name Brinsupri. The drug is designed to treat non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, a chronic condition that damages the lungs and makes it harder to clear mucus, the company said in a statement. The approval comes after the medication succeeded in one of last year's most closely watched Phase 3 clinical trials. The company says Brinsupri could become a blockbuster, estimating peak sales at $5 billion a year, STAT News reported. "The FDA approval of the first-ever treatment for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is a historic milestone for patients and for Insmed," the company's chief medical officer, Dr. Martina Flammer, said in a statement. The American Lung Association estimates that bronchiectasis affects between 350,000 and 500,000 adults in the United States. It happens when the airways in the lungs become widened, thickened and scarred - often after an infection or other damage. This makes it difficult to clear mucus, allowing germs and particles to build up and cause repeated lung infections. Brinsupri works by blocking an enzyme called DPP1. Insmed bought the drug from AstraZeneca for $30 million and is also testing it for other conditions, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, STAT News reported. The company plans to sell the drug in the U.S. at an annual list price of $88,000. It has also filed for approval in Europe and the United Kingdom, and it plans to do so in Japan. "For the first time, we have a treatment that directly targets neutrophilic inflammation and addresses a root cause of bronchiectasis exacerbations. Based on the strength of the data and the impact we've seen in patients, I believe this could become the new standard in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis care." Dr. Doreen Addrizzo-Harris, a pulmonary and critical care physician and director of the NYU Langone Health Bronchiectasis and NTM Program in New York City, said in a news release.

Chocolate Recall Sparks Nationwide Warning to Customers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Neuhaus Chocolates NV is recalling their Belgian Chocolate Moments Smurfs 'Popping Milk Chocolates with Cookies because the product contains wheat which was not declared on the packaging. Newsweek reached out to the company via email Monday for comment. Why It Matters Numerous recalls have been initiated this year due to the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. People with a wheat allergy could experience a "serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," the FDA warns. What To Know Neuhaus Chocolate can be seen related to a recall in August 2025. (Photo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) Neuhaus Chocolate can be seen related to a recall in August 2025. (Photo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) In the alert, the FDA says the recalled chocolates were distributed from July 21, 2025, until August 4, 2025, by Neuhaus stores in Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, D.C. and via their online store. The impacted batch numbers are 80108690 and 80108763 with a best use before date of January 13, 2026, the FDA alert says. There have been no reports of illnesses related to this recall and 150 units of the impacted products were sold, the FDA says. What People Are Saying The FDA in their alert in part: "The action was initiated after it was discovered during an internal check that product containing wheat was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of wheat. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by an exceptional combination of circumstances in which the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) did not include the allergen on the packaging." In an email to Newsweek in January, the FDA said: "Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall; the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service. "The FDA's role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall. "The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled." Additional information on recalls can be found via the FDA's Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts. What Happens Next Customers who have purchased the recalled product who have a wheat allergy are asked to return it to the original place of purchase and not to consume it, the FDA says. People with additional questions may contact the company via phone at +32 2 568 23 00 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central European Summer Time on weekdays or via email at customercare@
