Urgent warning as ANOTHER popular seafood is recalled, spoiling Memorial Day cookout plans
Americans who had planned on throwing some seafood on the grill this Memorial Day weekend may have to find a backup plan, as a California food distributor issues an urgent recall on a popular product. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Santa Monica Seafood of Rancho Dominguez voluntarily recalled seafood sold at Aldi stores in California, Nevada, and Arizona due to an undeclared soy allergen. The product, Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing, did not list soy as one of its ingredients. The supplier discovered the problem while inspecting the labels from a completed batch of salmon portions. This error appears on 16-ounce packages with a June 2, 2025, use/freeze by date on each label. Shoppers can find the date code on the label on the front of the package under the product image. Customers with soy allergies who ingest this seafood can be at risk of suffering serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. As of now, no illnesses or deaths have been reported as a result of consuming the affected products. Santa Monica Seafood has asked all customers who purchased the recalled items to return it to Aldi for a full refund. If buyers are not able to do so, they are advised to dispose of the product and not distribute it to animals or other consumers. Soy allergies are common for individuals of all ages, and can be especially dangerous for infants or young children. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include hives, stomach cramps, coughing, and diarrhea. More severe reactions can result in difficulty breathing, a sudden blood pressure drop, and anaphylactic shock. Soy is one of many ingredients contributing to the commonality of recalls from undeclared allergens. Studies showed that 34 percent of food recalls in 2024 were due to undeclared allergens, the leading cause of food recalls that year. It has already been the prime reason behind voluntary recalls of items like Myprotein's double chocolate and caramel gooey-filled cookie and Trader Joe's Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon. Aldi's Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing recall is not the only Memorial Day weekend cookout spoiler. Khee Trading INC. in Compton, California, recalled a batch of oysters distributed to several states last week. The distributor initiated the action due to fears of possible norovirus contamination. Virginia-based Ukrop's Homestyle Foods also issued days before the holiday weekend for salad products linked to a salmonella outbreak. Like the oysters, these products were available to purchase in stores in multiple states.

The Last of Us mushroom coffee? Kevin Costner baked beans? TV merch to melt your mind
First the bad news: this week the United States Food and Drug Administration recalled 4,515 cases of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans after discovering that it did not disclose the presence of soy, an allergen that can have severe to fatal effects on sensitive consumers, in its ingredients. Shoppers from 23 US states are being urged to return their beans in exchange for a full refund. But the good news is, you can get Yellowstone baked beans. How amazing is that? If you're someone who enjoys watching Taylor Sheridan's soapy western drama about the Dutton family enough to want to literally base all your meal times around it then, provided you don't have a soy allergy, this is absolutely your lucky day. And the joy doesn't stop there, because there's also an entire website dedicated to selling various official Yellowstone food products. As well as the beans ('Savor the taste of Yellowstone Baked Beans, where tradition meets bold flavor'), the site allows you to buy official Yellowstone coffee ('Start your day the Dutton way'), official Yellowstone BBQ sauce ('Cook with confidence and grit') official tinned Yellowstone stews ('a wholesome, filling meal that's both delicious and effortless'), official Yellowstone Mac and Cheese ('a flavor filled adventure') and various official Yellowstone meat snacks ('the ultimate, on-the-go cowboy treat'). Now, does any of this sound in any way appealing? No, not at all. Does it seem to be designed exclusively to cater to anyone except swivel-eyed doomsday preppers who enjoy stockpiling nonperishable goods in hastily erected corrugated iron bunkers? No, not at all. But is it generally a good thing that Yellowstone inspires enough fervour in its audience that it can justify manufacturing its own entire line of officially branded meat snacks? Absolutely. Not every show can afford this luxury. It's hard to imagine something like Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr catching fire with audiences to the extent that it can launch a range of official tinned vegetables and Cup a Soups, for instance. But Yellowstone is different. Yellowstone speaks to an audience not traditionally catered to by the television industry. Yellowstone fans are quiet, hard-working, politically conservative and – above all else – fond of a tinned stew for their dinner. In that respect, the food line represents a perfect moment of brand synergy. Most shows simply do not go to this level of effort with their official merchandise. If you like Hacks, for example, you might be able to buy a T-shirt or a mug, but that's about it. If you loved the (very enjoyable) new Netflix Asterix series, your most exciting merchandise option is a T-shirt with the word Asterix on it. If you're a fan of Lorraine Kelly, you might be happy to own an official £16 Lorraine flask , but other than that your options are limited. Some shows do go the extra mile, in fairness, although to a far more niche degree. There are lots of people who like The Last of Us, for example. And there are lots of people who enjoy the taste of mushrooms. But the number of people who will watch a show about an army of violent mushroom-possessed zombies strangling the life out of humanity in the grimmest way possible then immediately reach for a cup of official The Last of Us mushroom coffee must be vanishingly slim. And, true, Lidl recently released an entire range of edible Emily in Paris merchandise, including crepes, biscuits and macarons. But there's something almost cowardly about stocking these items in a supermarket, isn't there? Something that deliberately caters to non-fans. Maybe some of the people who bought official Emily in Paris crepes just did it because they like crepes, not because they're devotional about television programmes where Phil Collins's daughter slow-blinks at the Arc de Triomphe a lot. But to truly qualify as a Yellowstone-style hit, you really need to be selling food directly from an official website that has no clear link to your broadcaster. And in that regard, the only series that can in any way stand up to Yellowstone is ITV's Doc Martin. Yes, it seemed like a show expressly engineered for your parents to fall asleep to. And yes, it hasn't been on the air for three years now. And yet, still, on the official Doc Martin merchandise page, you can buy a tube of the sort of food Doc Martin viewers are guaranteed to go bandy over: official Doc Martin biscuits and fudge. Maybe you want a tube where Martin Clunes is dressed as a doctor on the front, or one where Martin Clunes is reacting quizzically to a dog, or even one where Martin Clunes is pulling the same expression of disgruntled bafflement that Jeremy Clarkson used to pull on the cover of all his books. Whatever you desire, the official Doc Martin merchandise site has got you covered. And since these biscuits won't inadvertently harm anyone with a soy allergy, this gives them the edge over Yellowstone. Congratulations all.

Canned beans recalled in 23 states over 'life-threatening' health risk
An urgent recall has been issued for canned beans sold at Walmart and other grocers over fears they pose a life-threatening health risk. The FDA is recalling 4,510 cases of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans sold across 23 states because they contain undeclared soy. About 1.9million people in the US are allergic to soy, and can suffer from anaphylaxis if they eat the substance — a life-threatening allergic reaction that can leave them gasping for breath. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported to date, but the FDA is urging people to throw out the beans or return them to stores for a full refund. The beans are sold in 15-ounce cans with a best-by date of February 17, 2028 — and were made by Tennessee-based Vietti Food Group. The can has a black label with a large, yellow 'Y' on the front, as well a a picture of beans cooking in a saucepan. A representative for the brand said the affected beans were sold in Walmart, Associated Wholesale Grocers, Hy-Vee and Meijer among others. The above shows the label used on the recalled canned beans The FDA said in its alert: 'Individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.' The recall was called in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. It was not clear exactly how many cans of beans were being recalled or how the soy had entered the baked beans. But it is likely that the soy was contained in the sauce, where it is used to tone down sweetness and add depth to the flavor. Food workers then did not declare the sauce's presence on the label, which led to the recall. Soy comes from soybeans and is commonly consumed in foods. It is one of nine major allergens, with the others being milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and sesame. It poses no risks to someone who does not have a soy allergy. But for patients with this, they can quickly experience a tingling sensation in the mouth and swelling of the lips and face after consuming soy. Experts say they can also break out in hives, itching or eczema, and suffer from abdominal pain, diarrhea and nausea. It comes after a March recall was issued for 200,000 cans of popular vegetables sold at Target over fears they were contaminated with a foreign object. Good & Gather Cut Green Beans - distributed by Target - have been recalled in just about two dozen states, including Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Texas. On February 12, 197,808 cans were recalled. On March 13, the recall was named as the second highest risk level, or a 'Class II' distinction. The FDA did not explain in its release what sort of foreign object had been found in the cans, but these are typically pits and bones that have not been removed.
