Packaged tomatoes sold in Michigan and other states recalled over salmonella concerns
An Indiana company is recalling containers of tomatoes because of potential salmonella contamination. Ray & Mascari Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana, is recalling its 4-count vine-ripened tomatoes packaged in clamshell containers because of potential salmonella contamination. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert, 20-ounce (1 pound 4-ounce) containers of tomatoes were sold to Gordon Food Service stores in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Consumers who bought these tomatoes are advised not to consume them. The tomatoes should be discarded. Ray & Mascari Inc. received the tomatoes from a farm in Immokalee, Florida, and repackaged them into the 4-count containers. The farm, Hanshaw & Capling Farms, initiated the recall because of the 'possible presence of Salmonella in their facility.' The items sold have 'Vine Ripe Tomatoes' on the label with UPC numbers of 7 96553 20062 1 and a master case label with lot numbers of RM250424 15250B or RM250427 15250B. So far, no illnesses have been reported from this recall. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, children younger than 5, and adults older than 65. More: There's been a rash of foodborne illnesses leading to product recalls: What to know Symptoms for healthy people include diarrhea (which may be bloody), fever, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. Symptoms can start six hours to six days after being infected and last four to seven days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you have severe salmonella symptoms, contact your healthcare provider. The CDC estimates salmonella bacteria cause more than 1 million infections in the United States annually, with most illnesses coming from food.

Sanders celebrates 150th anniversary with new limited edition caramel
It's almost hard to imagine that in 1875, nearly 150 years ago to the day, the first Sanders shop opened in downtown Detroit in the Woodward and Gratiot area. Generations of metro Detroiters grew up on Sanders ice cream sodas, cream puff hot fudge sundaes and, of course, delightful Bumpy Cake. Now Sanders is gearing up to mark its 150th milestone with a community celebration in downtown Detroit. It will take place 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on May 15 in Cadillac Square, a significant spot for the candy maker because it's not far from that first location. Sanders will be giving the community a taste of a limited-edition sweet treat: Sanders Birthday Cake White Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels. It will also be serving ice cream topped with classic Sanders Hot Fudge or Caramel toppings. The company said its new caramels are made at its facility in Clinton Township and will soon be available at retailers, including Meijer stores. Sanders has grown into a national brand and is owned by snack and treat maker Second Nature Brands, based in Madison Heights. Second Nature Brands is also the parent company of Kar's Nuts, which bought Morley Candy in 2018. Morley owned Sanders at the time. At one time, there were 57 Sanders retail stores in the Great Lakes region, according to the Sanders website. Two Sanders stores still operate in metro Detroit, one in Clinton Township and the other in Rochester, where you can buy many of its confections and those of Second Nature Brands. There is also a Sanders store on Mackinac Island.

Just as March Madness continues on with the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments, the 2025 Chicken Wing Challenge enters Round 3. Our 16-restaurant bracket to determine which metro Detroit establishment has the best chicken wings is down to the four semifinalists. Thousands of votes poured in the last few days to determine the places moving to the 'Savory Four' round.

And so — drumroll, please — here are the semifinalists competing to make it to the championship round of the 2025 Chicken Wing Challenge. Sweetwater Tavern, originating out of downtown Detroit, has long been noted for its award-winning wings and thus far have been running the table in the 2025 Chicken Wing Challenge. The wings are marinated in their specially seasoned marinade for 24 hours, then deep-fried and seasoned again, according to its menu. Woodpile BBQ Shack in Madison Heights has smoked wings sprinkled with what one reader described as a 'magic seasoning.' Does it have enough to pull off the upset? The Charlevoix's wings are one of the main choices on the menu of this neighborhood Grosse Pointe Park restaurant and bar. More than a half dozen styles are listed, including salt and vinegar and Thai. You may recall that The Charlevoix was the runner-up in the 2023 Chicken Wing Challenge, losing to Livonia's One Under Craft Beer + Eats in Livonia.
