Our Mounjaro diaries: 6 months on, has it changed our lives?
I have never eaten as many dates as I have since I jabbed my first 'starter dose' of Mounjaro last November, writes Harriet Walker. With a blob of peanut butter inside and pumpkin seeds on top, they are basically a Mars bar. I'm actually not sure I could eat a whole Mars any more — not something I struggled with previously. When I had pappy white bread for the first time in ages recently, it tasted as sweet as a Chelsea bun — and not in a good way. I also didn't realise, when I started on 'the pen', that I would never order a pint again. Weight-loss injections didn't stop me drinking (although, nearly), but they did help me realise that half a

Organic pumpkin seeds sold at 3 Toronto stores being recalled due to potential salmonella contamination
More organic pumpkin seeds are being recalled due to potential salmonella contamination, as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) expands its advisory to three stores across Toronto. Earlier in May, the CFIA issued a nationwide recall of Organic Traditions jumbo pumpkin seeds, noting this was triggered by a separate recall outside of Canada. Over the weekend, the CFIA issued recalls for similarly affected pumpkin seeds sold at two stores in Ontario: The Stone Store on Commercial Street in Guelph, and The Hope Eco-Farm Store in Aylmer. However, different brands were being recalled, such as organic pumpkin seeds from Austria, sold in bulk from March 30 to May 7 at The Stone Store, and The Hope Eco-Farm's own organic pumpkin seeds that were sold by the pound from March 21 to May 9. Pumpkin seeds recall The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall of Organic European Raw Pumpkin Seeds (Product of: Austria) sold in Guelph, and Pumpkin Seeds Organic sold at The Hope Eco-Farm Store in Aylmer. On Tuesday, the CFIA extended its recall to include three more products sold in Toronto: Fine Wholesome Goods raw organic European pumpkin seeds sold at The Sweet Potato on Vine Avenue from April 24 to May 6, Orasta's 250 gram organic pumpkin seeds sold at Fiesta Farm on Christie Street from April 17 to May 10, and unnamed organic European pumpkin seeds sold at Beaches Natural Foods on Queen Street East from March to May 8. Pumpkin seed recall Orasta's 250 gram organic pumpkin seeds sold at Fiesta Farm on Christie Street from April 17 to May 10 has been recalled by the CFIA. The federal agency says it may issue more recalls as it is currently conducting a food safety investigation into organic pumpkin seeds, so that all recalled products are stripped off the shelves. At this time, the CFIA says there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products. Consumers are advised not to eat, serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled pumpkin seeds, and that the seeds should be thrown out or returned to the original place of purchase. Salmonella is a foodborne contaminant that can cause symptoms like fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, though long-term complications can include severe arthritis. The agency adds food contaminated with salmonella may not smell or look spoiled.

Jumbo pumpkin seeds from Canada could be contaminated with salmonella
Organic pumpkin seeds imported from Canada have been recalled because they could be contaminated with salmonella, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Advantage Health Matters, with headquarters in Ontario, Canada, is recalling its 8-ounce packages of Organic Traditions Jumbo Pumpkin Seeds. The seeds "have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella," the FDA said in its recall announcement. Salmonella is one of the leading causes of foodborne illnesses worldwide, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Symptoms of salmonella include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps, the CDC said. It can also cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems," according to the FDA. The recalled pumpkin seeds were distributed in the states of New York, New Jersey and Virginia in retail stores and through mail orders. They come in an 8-ounce, clear plastic package with the lot number L250320200 on the back and an expiration date of May 2, 2027, stamped on the side. "This recall was triggered by a recall of a supplier in another country," according to the FDA. Although no illnesses have been reported, production "has been suspended" while the company investigates the source of the problem, the FDA stated. Anyone who has purchased the recalled pumpkin seeds is "urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund." Fox News Digital reached out to Advantage Health Matters for comment on the recall.
