The investigation will focus on how Listeria may have entered the product, and whether it entered from a FreshRealm facility, or through any of the ingredients that FreshRealm received from external ingredient suppliers."
"FreshRealm remains committed to the highest standards of food safety and is working closely with the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide full transparency and access throughout the process."

The FSIS said in their recall notice that they are "investigating an outbreak of Lm that currently includes 17 ill people in 13 states. As of June 17, 2025, there have been three reported deaths and one fetal loss associated with this outbreak.
"The outbreak strain of Lm was isolated from ill people on dates ranging from August 2024 – May 2025. The same outbreak strain was isolated from a routine chicken fettuccine alfredo sample collected by FSIS in a FreshRealm establishment in March 2025. The lot of chicken fettuccine alfredo represented by this sample was held during sampling, destroyed, and never entered commerce."
What People Are Saying
The FSIS, on its website: "Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract.
"In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics."

Costco finally makes food court change members demanded
Everyone who drinks soda has had the following exchange. "I'll have a Coke." "Is Pepsi okay?" The restaurant knows it isn't. Pepsi and Coke are not interchangeable and the reality is that most people prefer Coca-Cola products. Related: Costco gives members new benefit that stresses out workers Sprite, for example, is the dominant lemon-lime soda. PepsiCo PEP has a rival for it, Starry, a brand no person has ever intentionally ordered. Sales numbers back this up. In 2024, Coca-Cola was the most popular soda sold in the United States. That was followed by Dr. Pepper and Sprite. Pepsi came in fourth and you have to assume that a lot of those sales were people who ordered a Coke and were forced to accept the substitute. Diet Coke only fell slightly behind Pepsi with the much-superior Coke Zero coming in seventh just below Mointain Dew. Pepsi, of course, has its fans in the same way that some people thought the Monkees were better than the Beatles. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Still, while people will never fully agree on which cola is better, Coke has a large enough fanbase that when a business opts to serve Pepsi, customers wonder how much the brand paid for that access. Coca-Cola, however, has recently made some major inroads. It's about to replace Pepsi as the official soda of Carnival and it has finally made a major move at Costco. Image source: Shutterstock-Ant DM Given Costco's mission to save money for members, you might expect the chain to make some odd choices. If its food court offered Polar Soda or some other off brand that might have been sold to members as quirky. The warehouse club could also have made an effort to sell its food court concession to some up-and-coming brand. Members might have enjoyed seeing Jones Soda or some other brand looking to make a mark at the warehouse club's popular food court. Instead, Costco, for the past many years, has offered Pepsi at its food court. That meant that anyone ordering its famed $1.50 hot dog deal had no choice but to accept Pepsi along with their sandwich. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers Costco, however, made the choice earlier this year to end its deal with PepsiCo and replace Pepsi with Coke. That was a move many members were excited about and the change has finally happened. it may take a little longer for your Costco to replace Pepsi with Coke, but the change is coming and it has actually happened at most of the chain's warehouse club locations. While Costco has invested in its digital operations, its food court and other in-store offerings remain incredibly important because most of the company's sales happen in its stores. CFO Gary Millerchip shared some insight on the company's digital business during its third-quarter earnings call. "So, if you just do the sort of math on our business and how we define digital, which, as a reminder, doesn't include the delivery solutions that we offer through Instacart. It doesn't include our travel business where most of it would be online. So, there's a number of elements that I think others might include in the sort of e-commerce business that we wouldn't," he said. Related: Costco members angry about price increase So, while the actual number is bigger, Millerchip shared how the company sees its digital business. "So, on the straight math on how we define it, it would be about 8% of our business. If we included some of the components that others would include, it probably takes it to slightly north of 10%. And then, if you would take gas out of our total sales, which I know, obviously, there isn't any commerce element to gas, it's around the 12% of total sales that we generate today," he added.

Map Shows 10 Wealthiest Suburbs In America
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Newsweek has created a map showing the 10 wealthiest suburbs in America, highlighting the regions with the highest average household incomes for 2025. The analysis is based on data provided by GOBankingRates, which ranks suburbs with at least 5,000 households and situated within metropolitan areas, using the latest figures from the U.S. Census and Zillow Home Value Index. This year's list confirmed Scarsdale, New York as the nation's wealthiest suburb for the second consecutive year, with fresh entrants from California and Texas reshaping the top 10. Why it Matters The ranking of America's wealthiest suburbs reflects broader economic trends, regional shifts in wealth, and real estate values. These affluent areas offer insights into patterns of prosperity, migration and the evolving landscape of suburban America. Policymakers and real estate analysts monitor these rankings to understand factors such as affordability, socioeconomic disparities, and emerging economic hotspots. What To Know Scarsdale, New York retained its ranking as America's richest suburb, with an average household income of $601,193 in 2023, up 2.2 percent from the previous year. Home values there also increased 3.2 percent to $1,207,528 by May 2025. Rye, New York, another suburb of New York City, ranked second with an average household income of $421,259 and a home value of $1,875,248. West University Place, Texas secured the third spot with an average income of $409,677; home values rose 4.6 percent to $982,834. Los Altos, California, located in Silicon Valley, ranked fourth with an average income of $403,512 and the highest average home value among the top ten at $4,562,702. Alamo, California entered the top 10 for the first time, ranking fifth. Its average household income rose 1.1 percent to $403,334, even as home values dipped slightly by 1.8 percent to $2,550,706. University Park, Texas, a Dallas suburb, took sixth place with a $389,868 average household income and a home value of $2,456,871. Southlake, Texas, also climbed into the top 10 for the first time, reaching seventh with an income average of $382,520 and a home value of $1,290,325. Hinsdale, Illinois, had an average household income of $376,366 and a home value of $1,234,894. Orinda, California's average household income was $369,073 and its average home value was $1,993,154 Wellesley, Massachusetts completed the top ten list with an average household income of $368,179 and a home value of $2,079,414. California dominated the top 50 with 17 entries, followed by Texas with five, including three in the top 10. Ranking focused on mean household income, a choice that typically emphasizes the concentration of wealth rather than median income, which can be substantially lower and less influenced by outliers. Who People Are Saying A senior financial expert at GOBankingRates, Rudri Patel, spoke about how most of these wealthy suburbs are a fair distance away from urban centers but close enough to get to easily. "You can stay in your bubble, but also get out of your bubble and still get the things you need," she told USA Today. What Happens Next Analysts anticipate continued scrutiny and interest in suburban affluence, particularly as housing markets, migration trends and regional economies evolve. Real estate professionals and economists will be monitoring whether these suburbs maintain their rankings into 2026, especially as rising home values impact affordability and household migration. The methodology used by GOBankingRates—focusing on mean household income—may continue to shine a spotlight on a select group of ultra-wealthy communities, while sparking public discussions about inequality and the factors driving suburban success in different parts of the country.

In-N-Out Burger Owner Teases Chain's Move Into South
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Lynsi Snyder, heiress and president of In-N-Out Burger, has announced she's relocating from California to Tennessee, while teasing the burger chain's expansion plans into the American South. "It will be wonderful having an office out there," Snyder said during her recent appearance on the Relatable podcast, as reported by MSN. "Growing out there, and being able to have the family (and other people's families) out there." Newsweek contacted the company via online form on Sunday for comment. Why It Matters In-N-Out has long been a cultural staple of the West Coast, especially California, where it was founded in 1948. Snyder's move signals a possible geographic and strategic shift in the family-run company's leadership and long-term focus. With new headquarters being built in Franklin, Tennessee, this could mark a turning point for the brand's identity, reach, and direction. It may also reflect broader frustrations among business owners about California's regulatory and economic environment. The In-N-Out Burger logo is displayed outside of one of their restaurants on March 14, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The In-N-Out Burger logo is displayed outside of one of their restaurants on March 14, 2025 in Las Vegas, to Know As previously reported by Newsweek, the company has said it is opening the new headquarters in Franklin to manage its eastern U.S. operations and plans to open 35 restaurants in the state in the coming years. The location will include one on-site restaurant on Goose Creek Bypass near Interstate 65, The Tennessean reports, and at least six other In-N-Out restaurants that have been identified as potential locations in Middle Tennessee. In-N-Out restaurant construction generally takes around nine months from start to finish, In-N-Out Vice President of Store Development Mike Abbate has said, as per The Tennessean. According to a previous news release by the company, 500 people are currently employed at the Irvine office, and some of them may relocate to Tennessee, while others will move to the Baldwin Park office in California. Snyder stated she will be leading the company from Tennessee once the new Franklin office opens in 2026. While the headquarters in Baldwin Park remains operational, the Irvine office will be phased out by 2030. "We're building an office in Franklin, so I'm actually moving out there," the billionaire said during Friday's episode of the Relatable podcast with Allie Beth Stuckey, according to Fox 11 via Fox Business. "There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here now," Snyder said. Although In-N-Out may be looking to expand its footprint across the South, Snyder made clear there are no immediate plans to bring the chain to Florida and the East Coast. "Florida has begged us, and we're still saying no. The East Coast states, we're saying no. We are able to reach Tennessee from our Texas warehouse. Texas can reach some other states." Snyder said, per Fox Business. The relocation is also personal. Snyder cited difficulties raising her children and doing business in California, mentioning past pandemic restrictions and public safety concerns. Despite the move, she insisted that most of the company's 400-plus locations will remain in the West, with growth focused on maintaining quality rather than rapid coast-to-coast expansion. What People Are Saying As previously reported by Newsweek, Snyder said the move to Tennessee: "brings our In-N-Out family back together in a way that helps us better serve our customers." What Happens Next Construction on the new Tennessee headquarters is underway and expected to finish in 2026. Snyder will begin overseeing operations from there, while the company continues opening new locations across southern states. The relocation strategy aims to balance growth with the company's commitment to quality and brand identity. While In‑N‑Out's core remains tied to the West, the road ahead appears to lead south—and possibly, in time, beyond.
