Treehouse Foods of Oak Brook, IL, is recalling specific batches of Sysco Classic Chocolate Pudding and Bay Valley Foods Thank You Chocolate Pudding because of post-process damage to containers, which may lead to potential microbial growth and swollen or exploding cans.

Salmonella Illnesses in 7 States Prompt Nationwide Recall of Eggs

Posted on by Ted Rathe

Nationwide egg recall issued as Salmonella outbreak sickens 79 across 7 states

The eggs were distributed at retail locations including Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs.

A multistate Salmonella outbreak tied to organic and cage free eggs from August Egg Company has sickened 79 people and prompted a nationwide recall, according to the CDC. No deaths have been reported. The outbreak spans Arizona (3 cases), California (63), Kentucky (1), Nebraska (2), New Jersey (2), Nevada (4), and Washington (4), with illnesses reported between Feb. 24 and May 17, 2025. Six people in Kentucky, New Jersey, and Washington reported travel to California or Nevada before becoming ill, suggesting they may have been exposed while traveling.

State and local health officials interviewed 30 affected individuals, with 27 (90 percent) reporting they consumed eggs in the week before falling ill. Investigators identified illness sub-clusters at two restaurants where eggs were served, providing critical clues to the outbreak’s source. A sub-cluster is a group of unrelated individuals who fell ill after eating at the same location, such as a restaurant. Eggs were a common food item at both locations. Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback data show that eggs distributed by August Egg Company may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis and may be making people sick. FDA conducted an inspection at August Egg Company’s processing facility and collected samples for testing. Some samples tested positive for Salmonella. WGS showed that the Salmonella in the samples are closely related to Salmonella from sick people. People reported buying many different brands of eggs from multiple stores. FDA conducted a traceback investigation based on where ill individuals reported shopping or eating before becoming sick, and August Egg Company was identified as a common supplier of eggs.


On June 6, 2025, August Egg Company recalled eggs. CDC is advising people not eat, sell or serve recalled eggs.

Posted on by Ted Rathe

Public health alert issued for ground beef sold at Whole Foods because of E. coli risk

The raw ground beef item was produced on May 22, 2025, and May 23, 2025.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers are aware that these products should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.


The product bears establishment number “EST. 4027” inside the USDA mark of inspection. This item was shipped to distributor locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland and was further distributed to Whole Foods Market retail locations nationwide. The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that they shipped into commerce ground beef product that tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. As of the posting of this alert, there have been no confirmed reports of illness because of the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.


Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
