This Popular Cheese Product Is Being Recalled For a Very Serious Reason—Here's What to Know
This Popular Cheese Product Is Being Recalled For a Very Serious Reason—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Food recalls are never a fun experience. As consumers, we're forced to check our labels carefully, and if we have the recalled item in our possession, we either return it for a refund or discard it completely. But not every food safety issue starts as a full-fledged recall. This week, for example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of a select batch of Boar's Head deli products—though the agency has yet to classify the severity. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 According to the official notice, 65 cases, roughly amounting to 780 packages (each carrying 12 8-ounce packages) of Boar's Head Smoked Gouda cheese were distributed despite having a mislabeling issue. The recalled cheese products were produced by the Alpine Slicing and Cheese Conversion Company out of Wisconsin, and distributed to stores in the state of Florida. For those out of the loop with recalls, a mislabeling issue can mean a number of things. At worst, it involves the omission of a major allergen or ingredient from the label—posing serious health risks for people with food allergies or dietary restrictions. At best, it's a less serious error, like a mislabeled flavor or an inaccurate photo on the packaging, which doesn't pose a danger but still warrants a recall to uphold consumer transparency and company standards. While the severity of the recall is still being determined, and no further information about the mislabeling has been provided, it's reassuring that the issue is limited to one state. The recalled cheese was sold in 8-ounce packages and found in most major store refrigerators. It does not affect Boar's Head Smoked Gouda sliced at the deli counter, and no other products have been you think you have a package of Boar's Head Smoked Gouda Cheese at home, check for UPC 0 42421-50006 6, code 03 SEP 25 F, and 'Distributed by Brunckhorst Co., NY, NY 11206." While the recall has not yet been officially classified, the FDA advises consumers not to eat the product out of an abundance of caution—either throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Otherwise, as the issue progresses and more information becomes available, we'll report back to keep things up to date.

Morocco, Russia Forge New Paths in Global Halal Market
Doha – Morocco and Russia are strengthening ties in the halal industry through new certification agreements. Tatarstan's Committee for Halal Standards under the Spiritual Administration of Muslims plans to obtain accreditation in Morocco. This will enable exports of halal products to the North African country. 'On all these countries we submitted applications,' said Tatarstan's committee chairman Abbas Shlyaposhnikov, referring to Morocco among other countries. 'Until the end of this year, we have planned progressive work. We are confidently moving in this direction.' Morocco continues expanding its global halal footprint. In June 2024, Abderrahim Taibi, director of the Moroccan Institute of Standardization (IMANOR), spoke at the Halal Morocco Forum in Casablanca. He noted that Morocco and Africa have important potential to increase their share in the global halal market. The global halal market, estimated to exceed $2 trillion, continues to experience steady growth. During the same forum, IMANOR signed a recognition agreement for the 'Halal Morocco' mark with Singapore's Halal Authority. Notably, Morocco had already inked an agreement in 2020 to export Moroccan halal products to Russia. This adds to Morocco's growing list of international halal partnerships.

Morocco's halal standards are particularly stringent for imported meat products. By November 2024, the National Office for Food Safety (ONSSA) had implemented a rigorous control system for imported red meat. The system requires all meat to comply with Islamic slaughter standards. Only countries passing ONSSA's risk assessment can export to Morocco. Certifications from authorized religious bodies in exporting countries must confirm compliance with halal requirements. For Russia, specifically Tatarstan, securing accreditation in Morocco would open new export opportunities. In 2025, Tatarstan aims to increase its halal exports. The region's total export plan amounts to $15 million, up from $14 million the previous year. Currently, 250 enterprises in Tatarstan produce halal products, with about 20 of them exporting abroad. Last year, Tatarstan's Committee for Halal Standards was accredited by the Gulf Accreditation Centre (GAC). The Russia-Morocco halal cooperation represents part of a broader trend. Both Rabat and Moscow are working to establish themselves as key players in the growing Halal-compliant products sector. Tags: Halal EconomyMorocco Russian relations

How President Trump's tariffs may affect Minnesota grocery stores
The Brief President Donald Trump is set to impose a 25% tariff on products from Mexico and Canada on April 2. It could cause grocery stores in Minnesota to increase prices on bacon, mushrooms, avocados, and peppers. With the warming weather, Minnesota grocers could work with local vendors. ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - President Donald Trump is set to impose a 25% tariff on products from Mexico and Canada in less than two weeks. The Trump Administration says it's taking action because both countries are not putting an end to the alleged flow of drugs across borders. Once in effect, it could cause prices to go up at grocery stores. What we know This 25% increase could impact mushrooms, avocados, peppers, and bacon. "The whole goal would just be to keep the cost as low as possible," said Ted Spreigl, owner of Tim and Tom's Speedy Market in St. Paul. Spreigl is bracing for tariffs on goods that could cost him more next month. By the numbers Spreigl says Boar's Head bacon from Canada is $10.99 a pound. With a potential 25% tariff on Canada, it could increase to nearly $14 a pound. Mushrooms now $2.99 could go up to $3.74. Also impacted could be avocados, peppers, flour, and sugar. "It's about $15 a case for six. So that would probably go up to about $18," said Spreigl on mushrooms and avocado. Spreigl says he will try to cut customers some slack. "Probably be estimating about maybe $3.29, $3.49, try to not do as much increase as I can," said Spriegl. What they're saying There is some optimism due to the time of year the tariffs are set to be imposed. That's because the warming weather makes it easier to work with local vendors. "Once we move into the spring and summer here, there come a whole lot more local options for us, especially in the produce department," said Spriegl. The backstory Spreigl adds that before Trump paused the tariffs earlier this month, they did have a two-day dry run, and he said there was a lot of paperwork on the vendor's end, and he had to pay the extra price on fresh produce.
