Pistachio recall tied to viral chocolate bar reflects salmonella risks from nuts
More brands of TikTok-famous chocolates with pistachios have been recalled over salmonella concerns, with food scientists saying the nuts can be prime suspects for causing outbreaks of foodborne illness. On Thursday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said more types of Dubai pistachio and knafeh milk chocolate have been recalled (new window) , following earlier recalls of Habibi brand of pistachios or deserts like baklava containing the nuts. People should not eat, serve or cook with any of the affected brands (new window) . The Dubai chocolate craze for milk chocolate bars filled with a pistachio cream and crunchy pieces of knafeh was fanned by food bloggers. But recalled pistachios and pistachio-containing products (new window) are now linked to 52 illnesses between early March and mid July, including 10 hospitalizations (new window) across Canada. "We know that cases in the outbreak have the same genetic fingerprint in the strain of salmonella that made them sick, and this same strain has been found in the Habibi pistachio (new window) brand," said Anne Marie Lowe, outbreak manager at the Public Health Agency of Canada in Montreal. What caused this outbreak isn't yet known and may stay a mystery, food scientists say. But because the nuts have a long shelf life, it may not be over soon. Pistachios shaken from tree Salmonella infection is a food-borne bacterial illness (new window) that may cause fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, cramps and diarrhea. It's caused when fecal material from infected humans or animals gets into our mouths, such as by consuming contaminated food or drink. The bacteria live in the intestines of many animals and common sources include undercooked poultry and other meats, undercooked eggs and unpasteurized milk. For pistachios and foods containing the nuts, contamination can happen before or during harvest (new window) as well as processing, said Lawrence Goodridge, who holds a Canada Research Chair in foodborne pathogens. Pistachios grow on trees and before harvest, birds and insects can introduce salmonella to the nuts, he said. Contaminated irrigation water is another possibility. To harvest pistachios, the trees are typically shaken, including with mechanical equipment. The nuts fall onto trays that can be contaminated in the orchard, Goodridge said.

Photo: Associated Press / Damian Dovarganes Salmonella in chocolate resists stomach acid While cooking contaminated chicken or eggs kills salmonella, some pistachios in products are raw, and even cooking the nuts may not do the trick. One of the issues with salmonella is it survives very well in dry foods, Goodridge said. "It may not grow, but it will survive for very long periods and that's why we've seen outbreaks in dry foods like pistachio nuts and almonds, chocolate (new window) and flour (new window) ." Microbiologist Keith Warriner, a professor specializing in food safety at the University of Guelph, said some salmonella subtypes, such as the Havana serotype implicated in this outbreak, can persist in soil. "An additional factor is that when incorporated into chocolate (new window) , the salmonella can survive the stomach acid so relatively low doses are required to cause illness," Warriner said. Enlarge image (new window) People are advised not to consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute the recalled baklava products. Photo: Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments/Canadian Food Inspection Agency In this outbreak, the pistachios were imported. Goodridge said investigators typically look at who imported the foods and their records to ensure the ingredients or foods were produced to the same standards as in Canada. Boutique or artisanal products aren't more or less safe in and of themselves, Goodridge said. One thing that consistently has occurred in outbreaks … is that oftentimes there's a breakdown in terms of the food safety programs that should have been followed, he said, pointing to last year's plant-based milk recall and Listeriosis outbreak (new window) that killed three people. Another factor that could extend this salmonella outbreak is that if pistachios are dried, the shelf life (new window) can be up to two years, depending on how they're stored, Goodridge said. WATCH | Do more recalls mean safer food? The outbreak investigation continues, Lowe said, and other affected food products could be identified. The delay between when a person becomes sick and goes to the hospital to get tested and the time when the case gets reported to public health is another factor in extending outbreaks, she said. Warriner has an eye on preventing salmonella illnesses. Since salmonella persists under dry conditions and pistachios are dried after harvest, he said, thermal treatments may not work. He's working on a way to pasteurize nuts that doesn't involve heat. If pistachios are dried, the shelf life can be up to two years, scientists say.

Daughter's tribute to fencer killed in workplace accident in Murraylands, South Australia
A daughter has posted a loving tribute to her father who was killed in a workplace accident this week. Fencing contractor Roy Goodridge, 41, died in an incident allegedly involving a post hole digger about 2pm on Wednesday. The accident happened at Pompoota, a rural locality near Murray Bridge in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, about 74km from Adelaide. Goodridge, a local from nearby Jervois, was already dead when emergency services arrived. Daughter Macayla Goodridge announced her father's death in a Facebook post on Thursday. 'Sadly yesterday ... dad/Roy was involved in a work place accident and passed away,' she said. 'Thank you to all who have messaged, we have received them and appreciate it but at this moment we're just taking our time to grieve as a family. 'We love you forever daddy/grumps.

Non-IFRS Measures This press release references certain non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow Conversion as described below. This press release also makes reference to MAU, which is an operating metric used in our industry. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS measures including: 'EBITDA' is calculated as net income (loss) excluding interest, income tax expense (recovery), and depreciation and amortization. 'Adjusted EBITDA' is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, share performance related bonuses, unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments, severance, adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss, gain or loss on sale of assets, gain or loss on sale of investments, foreign exchange loss (gain), realized and unrealized other loss (gain) and other charges that include direct and incremental business acquisition related costs. 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin' measures Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. 'Free Cash Flow' means Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and income taxes paid during the period. 'Free Cash Flow Conversion' is equal to Free Cash Flow for the period divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the period. 'Monthly Active Users' ('MAU') is defined as the number of individuals who have visited our communities within a calendar month, based on data as measured by Google Analytics. To calculate average MAU in a given period, we sum the total MAU for each month in that period, divided by the number of months in that period. SOURCE VerticalScope Holdings Inc.

Does rice contain arsenic? Yes, here's how you can reduce the risk
Arsenic in rice isn't a new concern, but a recent report published by Healthy Babies Bright Futures (HBBF) brought the issue back into the spotlight. The study found arsenic in all 145 rice samples bought at stores across the United States. More than a quarter surpassed 100 parts per billion (ppb) of inorganic arsenic, the Canadian and American federal limits for infant rice cereal. Health Canada says rice and fruit juice are the most common dietary sources of inorganic arsenic, a toxic chemical. So, how worried should you be?

'With all things to do with food safety, it comes down to reducing the risk of exposure,' says Lawrence Goodridge, a professor at the University of Guelph's Department of Food Science and director of the Canadian Research Institute for Food Safety , who wasn't involved in the HBBF report. 'People can reduce their risk by consuming less of those foods.' Arsenic was 'the poison of choice in Victorian times,' says Keith Warriner, a professor at the University of Guelph's Department of Food Science, who wasn't involved in the HBBF report. It's also ubiquitous. 'The reality is, arsenic is everywhere. So it's not a case where you can avoid it.' Warriner underscores that people shouldn't stop eating rice altogether because of arsenic. After all, it's a staple of many cuisines with cultural significance and health benefits. 'It's a concern to have, but it's not 'I'm going to give up rice' because there are things we can do to minimize.' Here are ways to reduce the risk, from the rice you buy and how you cook it to diversifying your diet with grains lower in heavy metals such as arsenic. The more toxic of its chemical forms, inorganic arsenic is considered a carcinogen and is naturally present in soil and groundwater. Long-term exposure has been associated with an increased risk of health problems, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and skin lesions . When exposure happens in utero or during childhood, it 'may affect development and increase the risk of cancer in adulthood,' according to Health Canada. Babies and young children are 'the real concern,' says Goodridge. The toxicity accumulates more easily because they're smaller and their body weight is lower. 'Infant rice products can be a source of significant exposure,' he adds. 'It doesn't mean you can't give it to your kids, but limit it. It shouldn't be the primary grain cereal that they're fed. It shouldn't be the primary milk that they're given.' Goodridge advises rotating rice-based foods such as cereals with other grains. The same goes for rice milk and fruit juice, which Health Canada recommends limiting for children under two. The recommendations also apply during pregnancy because arsenic exposure can affect the developing fetus. 'Like most risks we have in life, it all depends on exposure and the amounts we get. If we go on the (Ontario Highway) 401 every day, our probability of crashing will be higher than someone who travels there once a year,' says Warriner. 'The more frequently you consume (rice), the more likely you are to accumulate it because arsenic accumulates. That's one of the bad things about it.' With rice, studies suggest all is not equal. Inorganic arsenic levels can vary by type and growing region. The HBBF report found that brown rice, Italian Arborio rice (used to make risotto) and white rice grown in the southeastern United States had higher amounts of heavy metals. On average, California rice (Calrose, sushi, jasmine, white), Thai jasmine rice and Indian basmati rice had 32 per cent less heavy metals than other types. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element but can also be introduced through human activities, such as mining and pesticide use. Rice grown in southeastern U.S. states such as Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas tends to have higher arsenic levels because, according to Goodridge, cotton farmers used arsenic-based pesticides to treat their crops in the past, contaminating fields now used to grow rice. Brown rice is prone to higher levels than white because it retains arsenic in the bran layer. 'One thing that people can do is moderate their intake of certain types of rice,' says Goodridge. 'The key is, if you like brown rice, limit the frequency.' Many choose brown rice because it contains more fibre and nutrients than white. As a whole grain, the bran, endosperm and germ are intact. The rub is that the arsenic happens to accumulate where the nutrients are. 'That's one of the problems. Getting rid of arsenic also can get rid of nutrients (such as iron),' says Warriner. 'So it's all a place of balancing things.' Rice tends to have higher levels of arsenic than other grains, so Goodridge advises people to diversify their diets. The HBBF report found that alternative grains, including barley , couscous , farro , oats and quinoa , have 69 per cent less heavy metal contamination than rice. Rice is more susceptible to arsenic due to a combination of factors, including plant physiology. 'Different plants have different capacities to accumulate,' says Warriner. 'They transport this arsenic in. And some, it's actually a nutrient. There are microbes out there that need this sort of arsenic.' The cultivation method in paddy fields is another reason. 'If the arsenic is in the water, which it is, and you flood it, and you're exposing the poor plant to all this stuff, it would accumulate more,' adds Warriner. 'If it's in the environment, it gets sponged up into the rice itself.' As with rice, certain fruits can be susceptible to arsenic because it's present in water used for irrigation or juice dilution, Goodridge highlights. Compounding the issue, some fruit orchards (especially apple) were historically treated with arsenic-based pesticides. The arsenic lingers in the soil and can enter the tree and fruit. Health Canada has set maximum levels for inorganic arsenic in fruit juice and nectar, brown and white rice, and rice-based foods for infants and young children. Goodridge thinks Canadians should be confident in the limits but cautions that regulations aren't perfect. The government sets rules to ensure the food we buy is free from harmful bacteria, yet people still get sick, and outbreaks continue to occur. 'Consumers have to take their own responsibility for ensuring the practices that they do reduce the risk, reduce the chances of getting sick. Health Canada sets these limits. That's great. That means that what's in the grocery store should have lower limits. So now, if on top of that, consumers take additional steps, they further reduce the risk.' If you're concerned about arsenic and open to changing your rice preparation and cooking methods, you can perform an extraction in the kitchen. 'It's all to do with volumes of water,' says Warriner, a former chef as well as a food scientist. 'Can you extract that arsenic out of it and throw it away in the sink?' One option is parboiling. After rinsing and soaking your rice, add it to a pot of boiling water — 'the higher the volume of water, the better' — and cook for five minutes. Drain the rice (discard the cooking water) and return it to the pot with fresh water. Using a two-to-one ratio of water to rice, cover and cook over low-to-medium heat for an additional eight minutes to make 'the magic 13 minutes for cooking rice,' adds Warriner. A 2020 University of Sheffield study suggests that parboiling rice using a four-to-one ratio and then cooking it until all the water is absorbed (called the absorption method) using a two-to-one ratio removes 54 per cent of the inorganic arsenic in brown rice and 74 per cent in white rice. Adding to its benefits, the study shows 'no loss of micronutrients.' In practice, Warriner prefers the 'nice, loose' texture of the absorption method. While it doesn't yield any arsenic extraction, he eats rice once a week at most. 'I don't usually have it more than that, so your exposure is going to be much less.' Another option is cooking rice like pasta, which Health Canada recommends. Goodridge highlights that you should always rinse your rice and, if you have time, soak it, even for just 10 minutes, before adding six to 10 parts water to one part rice. Once the rice is cooked, drain the excess water. Compared to the absorption method on a stovetop or in a rice cooker, this technique 'will significantly reduce inorganic arsenic by up to 50 to 60 per cent,' says Goodridge. Parboiling and cooking rice like pasta 'are the two main cooking methods that would significantly reduce arsenic. And if you're eating white rice versus brown rice, then that rice has much less arsenic than the brown rice.'

Work at squash club makes it more accessible
Work to make a Lincolnshire squash club more inclusive has nearly been completed. Grantham Squash & Fitness, on Harlaxton Road, received £35,000 from South Kesteven District Council's portion of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund after showing how the changes would make the building more accessible. Club chairman David Goodridge said it wanted to encourage more people of all ages and abilities to use the facilities and become more active, both socially and physically. "We regularly turn down inquiries for events which may involve elderly or infirm people simply because two staircases are involved, but this improvement will make such a big difference to what we can offer the community," he said. Mr Goodridge added: "We completed the first stage of this wider project last summer when we installed electric entrance doors and two internal doors to provide easier access to the gym, toilets, sauna and squash courts. "What we're doing now is making our function rooms upstairs easily available to those with more limited mobility – or parents with pushchairs and prams – so they can join in the various classes and events hosted here. "The lift will also allow people get to the squash court viewing galleries more easily." The lift work is due to be completed in this week.
