Ohio creamery recalls ice cream flavours
Millions of people in US are subject to food allergies or food sensitivities, says FDA. Food sensitivities can range from mild reactions to potentially life-threatening symptoms. The agency recognizes nine major food allergens: milk, eggs, sesame, fish, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish, peanuts, wheat and soybeans.

The recall issued by Ohio creamery affects pints of Mocha, Cacao, Cookie Dough, Cookies and Cream, Cacao Brownie Bites, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Avalanche as they may contain "undeclared soy and/or wheat", reports NewsWeek.

While no illnesses have been reported so far, the presence of undeclared allergens poses a potential risk to consumers with soy or wheat allergies. Soy can trigger reactions ranging from mild symptoms—such as hives and stomach cramps—to severe anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals. Wheat allergies can cause similar symptoms—including respiratory issues, skin reactions and, in some cases, life-threatening allergic responses.
The recalled ice cream pints were sold in paper cartons with paper lids and distributed to six retailers in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. The recall covers all expiration dates, which are printed on the bottom of each carton. "There have been no reports of illness involving products addressed in this recall, however, individuals exhibiting signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction after consuming Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Ice Cream involved in this recall should contact a physician immediately," according to a news release from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Those with questions can call 419-583-7124.

108 ambulance operators' strike enters 2nd day, patients suffer
Ranchi: Patients in Ranchi and across the state faced major inconvenience as the indefinite strike launched by the 108 ambulance operators entered the second day on Tuesday. Despite working in the essential service sector, the ambulance drivers and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) launched the strike, demanding a hike in their payments and improved working conditions. An official of the ambulance service provider, however, denied providing a lower salary or depriving them of benefits. Even as the employees and the service provider are making charges and counter-charges against each other, patients are shelling out extra money to hire private vehicles and ambulances. Later, the service provider said it would not allow the employees to hold the essential service to ransom and would take up alternative measures to streamline the service at the earliest. Some measures were already in place to help the patients, the service provider added. Notably, around 100 ambulance drivers and EMTs from various districts gathered in Ranchi to stage a protest against the Bihar-based private agency, Samman Foundation, which is operating the 108 ambulance service in the state. The workers alleged that despite long working hours and critical responsibilities, they are paid meagre salaries and are denied basic facilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Emergency Generators in Belo: (Prices May Surprise You) Emergency Generator | Search Ads Search Now Undo They said until their issues are resolved, the ambulance service would be halted across the state. Neeraj Tiwari, the state president of the Jharkhand Pradesh Ambulance Karmachari Sangh, alleged that despite being engaged in an emergency service that has been providing essential health assistance to the people since the inception of 108 ambulance services in Jharkhand in 2017, their standard of living has deteriorated. According to Tiwari, the workers were neither given medical benefits nor the salary promised under the state labour laws. Moreover, they don't get overtime money, though they work 12 hours or more without getting any holidays or days off, Tiwari claimed. The protesting workers also demanded provident funds and medical insurance facilities. Moreover, they said as the 108 ambulances are deteriorating, the vehicles often put their and patients' lives at risk. In the meantime, Pankaj Dubey, a patient who came to Rims on Tuesday for a leg injury, had to hire a private ambulance for Rs 2,000 to reach the hospital from Itki, a distance of about 30 km .

Hosp told to pay 34L for death due to delayed ICU admission
Mumbai: Observing that right to emergency medical care is a part of right to life under the Constitution and that hospitals and doctors are duty-bound to provide life-saving treatment immediately, regardless of consent, the state consumer commission recently directed Wockhardt Hospitals, Nashik, to pay Rs 34 lakh in compensation to the father of a young man who died after it failed to admit him to the ICU in a timely manner in 2010. The patient, Ravindra Naidu, who had a complicated medical history, died a day after he was admitted for a nosebleed. Despite suffering a fall in the bathroom and complaining of chest pain and uneasiness, he was not shifted to the ICU. The hospital claimed the father had refused ICU admission but failed to provide documentary proof of that. "A relative's consent is generally not legally required for admitting a patient to ICU. If the patient is critically ill and needs emergency care, the hospital and doctors can admit the patient to ICU under the doctrine of implied consent," the panel said.

While the commission overturned the forum's order and held the hospital to be negligent, it noted that the treating doctors appeared to have acted with their utmost qualification and skill. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 20 Blue Flag beaches around the World Read More Undo Ravindra was admitted to the hospital late on April 15, 2010, after a nosebleed. He had a complex medical history, including being a chronic smoker and occasional alcohol user, and had been diagnosed with hypertension (he stopped medication on his own around 10 days prior to admission). According to the complaint, Ravindra's condition deteriorated significantly around 3am when he complained of chest pain and uneasiness after falling while going to the bathroom. It alleged that doctors did not immediately provide proper treatment, nor was he admitted to the ICU until 7am. The father said from 7am-11 am, the hospital did not inform relatives about his condition or allow them to meet him. He believed his son died around 8.30am on April 16, but treatment was unnecessarily continued till 12.30pm to create false evidence. The patient was declared dead later in the day. The hospital and its doctors claimed all protocols were followed. They said Ravindra's death resulted from pre-existing medical conditions and his unilateral decision to stop prescribed anti-hypertensive medication, which directly led to accelerated hypertension and a fatal heart attack. The hospital said ICU admission was advised upon admission but refused by the patient and his relatives, which was recorded in the ICU register. They said all experts concluded that the patient's death was due to cardiovascular complications from accelerated hypertension.

Health secretary tells officials to step up surveillance to contain measles spread
Nashik: State health secretary Dr Nipun Vinayak on Tuesday told civil surgeons and district health officials from Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar to step up surveillance for measles symptoms and enforce isolation measures following an outbreak at a govt-aided ashramshala. Thirty-seven ashramshala students were admitted to Government Medical College and Hospital in Jalgaon with measles-like symptoms. Of them, four have tested positive for the infection so far. Officials who attended the meeting said Dr Vinayak told them to track all students and implement home isolation and treatment as needed, particularly in the villages where the students resided. "The health secretary reviewed the reports by district health departments and told officials to intensify the surveillance in talukas and villages where the students resided and would return to after Jalgaon collector declared a measles outbreak. Their vaccination reports are to be examined too," Jalgaon district health officer Dr Sachin Bhayekar said. The officer said standard measles vaccination guidelines typically targeted children up to five years old. "Given the age range of the affected students (6-15 years), govt will determine a separate vaccination plan for them," he said. Dhule district health officer Dr Sachin Bodke said the ashramshala students hailed only from Shirpur taluka, and the teams reached the homes of more than 50 of the 89 students. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "On Monday, one student with measles-like symptoms was admitted to GMCH, Dhule, while three others were admitted to the sub-district hospital. All are stable and recuperating. Besides, the students who have reached their homes are being monitored. We are taking help of religious leaders, community leaders and sarpanch to carry out the vaccination of the children below 5 years of age and who might have missed any of the two doses," Dr Bodke said. The major issue faced by health officials is about the migratory population in the remote villages of the taluka, who cross over to Madhya Pradesh and other districts in search of employment. Dr Ravindra Jadhav, Nandurbar district health officer, said, "The students were yet to reach homes from Jalgaon. All the students who come home will be screened for health conditions at primary health centres, after which those exhibiting symptoms will be treated. The rest of the students will be kept under isolation at their homes." Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that causes a rash and flu-like symptoms. It's spread through respiratory droplets and can be serious, even deadly, especially for young children and those with weakened immune systems.
