Aldi salmon recalled over potentially ‘life-threatening' risk. Here's what to know

Yahoo26-05-2025
Salmon portions sold at Aldi in the U.S. have been recalled due to the presence of an undeclared allergen.
Santa Monica Seafood of Rancho Dominguez, California, issued the voluntary recall on its Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing because they may contain undeclared soy.
'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,' the FDA stated in its announcement on the recall.
The affected salmon portions were sold in three states: California, Nevada and Arizona.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The products were sold in 16-ounce packages and had a use/freeze-by date of June 2, 2025.
The supplier identified the problem during a routine inspection of label proofs from a completed production batch, the FDA said. The packaging did not list soy as an ingredient, meaning individuals with a soy allergy may unknowingly consume the product.
Consumers who purchased Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing from Aldi are urged to return the product to the store for a full refund. For questions, consumers may contact Santa Monica Seafood at 1-800-969-8862, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST.
A soy allergy is a type of food allergy that occurs when your immune system mistakenly triggers a defensive response to soy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. This response — or allergic reaction — can cause various symptoms, including vomiting, stomach cramps, indigestion, diarrhea and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.
The Aldi salmon is just the latest in a string of food recalls this year. The last two years have seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls.
In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed.
Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from food-borne illnesses in 2023.
Earlier this month, cucumbers sold across the country were recalled after people in 15 states reported getting ill from salmonella.
Florida-based Bedner Growers, Inc. recalled the vegetables distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc. from April 29 to May 19.
Also in may, popular ice cream company, Wells Enterprises, also known as Wells Dairy, issued a voluntary recall of 22 different types of ice cream and frozen yogurt treats due to the possible 'presence of plastic' in more than 17,000 tubs of its products.

California doctor sued for ‘wrongful death' after shipping abortion drugs interstate in legal first

A Texas man is suing a doctor in California he claims mailed his girlfriend pills to end her pregnancy - in what may be a legal first - and a test of new state abortion laws. Jerry Rodriguez filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Remy Coeytaux, after the doctor sent the abortion-inducing drugs across state lines in order to 'murder his unborn son,' Rodriguez claimed. It appears to be the first time an interstate lawsuit for wrongful death over an abortion has been filed, according to The Washington Post. In Texas, a person who assists a pregnant woman in obtaining a self-managed abortion commits the crime of murder and can be sued for wrongful death, the lawsuit, filed in Texas federal court and obtained by The Independent, states. The woman herself cannot be prosecuted. The suit adds it is also a state jail felony for anyone other than a Texas-licensed physician to provide an abortion-inducing drug for the purpose of inducing an abortion. 'In violation of these and many other laws, defendant Remy Coeytaux mailed abortion-inducing drugs into Texas that were used to murder Jerry Rodriguez's unborn child,' the complaint reads. Rodriguez is suing Coeytaux for $75,000 over what he claims is wrongful death. He's also seeking an injunction to stop the doctor from distributing abortion-inducing drugs in violation of state or federal law. The injunction, the suit states, is being sought 'on behalf of a class of all current and future fathers of unborn children in the United States.' But such state legislation clashes with that of California, which retains a so-called 'Shield Law' to protect medical professionals such as Coeytaux. The law provides that 'California will not deliver a person accused or charged with committing a crime related to abortion/gender-affirming care over to law enforcement officials.' This includes situations where a California-licensed pharmacist dispenses an abortion-inducing drug mifepristone to a patient in a state with abortion-restrictive laws. According to Rodriguez's suit, he began dating his girlfriend in June 2024, while she was separated from her husband, but not yet divorced. The Independent has chosen not to name the woman, due to privacy reasons and because she is not a defendant in the lawsuit. The suit alleges that the woman's husband, Adam Garza, twice ordered the abortion medication from Coeytaux after she became pregnant by Rodriguez 'with the intent of using them to murder Mr. Rodriguez's unborn child,' and 'pressured her' to take the pills. A Venmo receipt confirming Garza's purchase of the drugs from Coeytaux was included in the lawsuit, with a reference of ''Aed axes' – allegedly a homonym for 'Aid Access,' an organization that ships abortion-inducing drugs into jurisdictions where abortion is not legal. 'Defendant Coeytaux caused the death of Mr. Rodriguez's unborn child through his wrongful acts,' the lawsuit states. 'Although [the woman] cannot be charged with murder for her role in killing her unborn child, her immunity does not shield Coeytaux from liability for aiding or abetting or directly participating in the murder.' 'Mr. Rodriguez seeks this injunction on behalf of a class of all current and future fathers of unborn children in the United States.' The Independent has reached out to Dr Remy Coeytaux for comment on the lawsuit.

Napa bakery owner with multiple sclerosis gets new kitchen thanks to community donations

Rory Kandel has been whipping up delicious pastries in her kitchen in Napa since the pandemic. "They are layered with butter, these are aged cheddar and green onion," Kandel, the founder and owner of Rory's Bakehouse, told CBS News Bay Area. "Lots of butter, lots of buttermilk. And perfect seasoning," she added, sharing her recipe for her delicious scones. "Every Wednesday, we have scone production day. So, we've been doing this all morning." She opened up her bakery during the pandemic, with a dream in one hand and a rolling pin in the other. "I'm a baker, I woke up, I had nothing to do. And I thought I'm going to make cookies for people. So, there was no business plan in place," Kandel said. As a baker, she stands for hours in the kitchen, and that is something that is becoming more and more challenging each day. "After three months of doctor's appointments and tests, it turned out that I had multiple sclerosis. So at the time, I was diagnosed, it was shocking, but I was mobile and totally fine. Eighteen months later, even though I'm on all the medications and doing all the things, I am losing my ability to walk. Although I can stand here and work, I cannot so easily get from place to place," Kandel said. And that is why next to all of her baking trays and utensils, you'll find her cane right by her. She can't easily lift her feet off the ground anymore, so she shuffles carefully around her kitchen. "As much as it's hard for me to admit, that a wheelchair is likely in my future. I need to make this kitchen ADA compliant because I am handicapped," Kandel said. Soon enough, the community jumped in to help, donating more than $20,000 to her GoFundMe to help renovate her kitchen for her physical needs. "I just can't get from point A to point B," she said. Madeline Karam is one of her many supporters. "She is not letting her physical ailment hold her back. She is continuing and she says, 'I'd rather transform this entire space, put a lot of money into making it work for her,' so she can continue to do what she's passionate about," Karam said. "Showing my kids that anything is possible. Really, I just want them to know that if you have a dream, that you can't, there are so many things that can get in a person's way and so many things that can stop you. If you wake up every day and you just tell yourself you're going to overcome those things little by little, coupled with the fact that I have the most incredible support system, you can really overcome so much," Kandel said.
