Popular baby product urgently recalled horror find inside bottle
A popular baby teething powder has been recalled over fears that glass fragments could be found inside the bottles.
Weleda Australia Pty Ltd is recalling one batch of the Weleda Baby Teething Powder 60g, after a person complained there was a fragment of glass inside the bottle.
It's believed a fault during the packaging process on the batch (B) 231302 may have caused some glass fragments to spill into other bottles from the same batch.
'If glass fragments are present in the powder and applied to an infant's gums, they could cause discomfort, pain or minor injury,' the Therapeutic Goods of Australia recall read.
'In more serious cases, there is a risk of choking or internal injury, including damage to the gastrointestinal tract, which may require urgent medical attention.'
No other batches have been affected by the recall.
The powder is available for purchase online and in-store at chemists across the country, including Priceline and Chemist Warehouse.
Customers have been urged to stop using the product immediately and return the item to the store where they bought it for a replacement or refund.

‘Hit her on the bottom': Sydney doctor's nurse harassment exposed
EXCLUSIVE A Sydney doctor who admitted to actions that amounted to sexually harassing three nurses while on night shift has been struck off from the profession for at least 12 months. Muruga Balaji Kandasamy Mohan faced the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal this week after three female nurses came forward over his conduct while working as an ICU doctor at Strathfield Private Hospital. Mr Mohan obtained his Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from Madurai Medical College in India in 1995 before registering as a doctor in NSW in 2006. He began working at Strathfield Private Hospital in 2009 before departing the hospital in September 2022. The tribunal heard how in July 2022, Mr Mohan pulled one of the nurses by the wrist into a small medication room, pulled down her surgical mask, touched her lip with his thumb and told her she looked beautiful. On another occasion, he pulled the same nurse into a 'darkened room' by her waist, before asking where she lived, how far her house was from the hospital and if he could see a 'picture of her house on her mobile telephone.' The tribunal heard how the incident left her 'shaking and scared' and 'quite traumatised'. 'She asked other nurses on her shift not to leave her alone with [Mr Mohan],' the tribunal heard. In 2021 – over a three to four month period -Mr Mohan asked another nurse to show him 'sexy pictures' on her phone about five times and told her she was 'beautiful and sexy'. He also massaged her shoulders on 'approximately five occasions'. 'She said that when [Mr Mohan] massaged her shoulders she told him she would report him and, on another occasion, told him that his conduct was unprofessional,' the tribunal heard. '[The nurse] said that [Mr Mohan] would 'laugh off' her comments.' The tribunal heard the third nurse said Mr Mohan would make sexual comments to her and would 'hit her on the bottom as she went past' while working at the hospital in 2018 and 2019. 'Because of the power imbalance between doctors and nurses … she did not make a complaint,' the tribunal heard. In a statement read out by the tribunal, Mr Mohan admitted to his behaviour and called it 'unacceptable'. He told the tribunal he believed the acts would be taken 'as a compliment'. The tribunal panel cancelled Mr Mohan's registration, banning him from applying for re-registration for 12 months. 'The Respondent's conduct was an abuse of power,' the tribunal decision stated. 'The complained of conduct was situational, that is the Respondent took advantage of the relatively isolated circumstances of night shift in a hospital ward. His conduct was deliberate.' Mr Mohan was previously a part owner of the Northwest Medical Centre in NSW until November 2024. He was also part owner of Churchill Family Practice in Victoria until May 2025, however, now has no financial interests in any general practices. After leaving Strathfield Private Hospital in September 2022, Mr Mohan was working one day per week in a general practice in Sydney.

Viral supermarket scanning app sparks social media uproar
A viral video has shocked the fitness community after a popular food rating app, Yuka, gave the Rokeby's Protein Choc Honeycomb Shake a score of zero out of 100, leaving fans of the beloved drink demanding answers. In the video, which has racked up over 260,000 views, Mitchell Humbert – the founder of nutrition support website Mr Health – is seen scanning the Rokeby's shake in a supermarket aisle using the Yuka app. 'This might cause a few issues because it's a fan favourite,' he begins. 'Oh, I actually didn't think it was going to be this bad,' he says after scanning the item, visibly surprised. 'Zero out of 100. It's shocking for you. Put it down.' The shake is a staple for many fitness buffs and contains filtered low-fat milk, cream, erythritol, cocoa powder, natural flavours, lactase enzyme, carrageenan, and stevia. Nutritionally, it has 253 calories, 30 grams of protein, 6.4 grams of fat, 18.3 grams of carbs, and 16.6 grams of sugar per serve. Fans shocked by rating The reaction was immediate, with comments flooding in from confused and frustrated fans. 'Nooo I love this drink,' wrote one. 'Oh no, it's my favourite,' said another. 'Please tell me what it's bad for? Personally, at around 250 calories and 30g protein on the go, I don't see an issue with it?' asked a third. Others questioned the app's credibility: 'Something suss is going on here … The vanilla one scans 49/100. Same drink different flavour …' and 'The app is flawed. It says my pure butter is poor and the chemical spread is good,' another user claimed. A spokesperson for Rokeby told 'Rokeby Protein Smoothies contain 30 grams of whole natural protein made with local milk and real high-quality ingredients, delivering great nutrition our consumers love. We encourage consumers to seek out trusted, professional sources for nutritional information and advice'. The viral food scanner Launched in France in 2017, Yuka allows users to scan the barcodes of food and cosmetic products in stores or at home, instantly assigning them a score to indicate how 'healthy' it considers the item. Since its international expansion in 2022, Yuka has exploded in use, with more than 56 million users worldwide. After scanning a product, Yuka assigns a health value out of 100, with corresponding colour codes: excellent (dark green), good (light green), poor (orange), or bad (red). The score is generated by an algorithm weighing three factors: nutritional quality, the presence and risk level of additives, and whether the product is organic. Yuka uses the European 'Nutri-Score' system to assess nutritional quality, rewarding high protein and fibre, and penalising high sugar, salt, saturated fat, and calories. The app's in-house experts classify over 600 food additives as high, moderate, limited, or risk-free, based on scientific research. Organic certification gives products a small bonus. The app is known for its strict approach, especially towards additives and calories. Even products with seemingly 'clean' ingredient lists (like the Rokeby shake) can be penalised if they contain additives like carrageenan (a seaweed-derived additive) or natural sweeteners such as stevia. Nutrition experts weigh in Yuka's scoring system has drawn criticism from nutrition experts. Some say the Nutri-Score system is outdated, especially in how it penalises calories and fails to distinguish between natural and added sugars, according to The New York Times. Experts also point out that giving so much weight to additives may be excessive, since much of the research is based on animal studies or observational data that does not always translate to real-world risks for humans. There is also debate over including organic status, as there is no proven nutritional benefit to organic foods over conventional ones. Despite these concerns, experts do agree that Yuka's focus on limiting highly processed foods aligns with broader public health advice. However, they caution that labelling foods as simply 'good' or 'bad' could contribute to disordered eating, and that most whole foods – fruits, vegetables, nuts – don't even have barcodes to scan. Content creator responds to backlash Mr Humbert, whose video of him using the app went viral, told he highly values the tool and thinks it's helpful for people who struggle to understand nutrition labels. 'Most of the time, the criticism of my videos comes from people who aren't fully educated on nutrition and are simply upset to learn that the products they regularly consume aren't as healthy as they thought,' he said. 'It can be confronting — no one likes to be told their go-to snacks might be doing more harm than good. 'People are genuinely shocked once they see the truth behind some of these everyday products, and they appreciate having a tool that helps them make better choices.'
