Kraft Heinz recalls 368,000 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said the recalled turkey bacon was produced from April 25 through June 11 by Newberry, S.C.-based Kraft Heinz.
The recalled turkey bacon products were shipped to retailers throughout the United States, the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.
The recalled products include 12-ounce vacuum-packed products labeled 'Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON ORIGINAL' with use-by dates ranging from July 18 to Aug. 2 and the UPC label '071871548601.'
Also recalled are 36-ounce packages containing three of the 12-ounce vacuum-packed 'Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON Original' products with use-by dates ranging from July 23 to Sept. 4 with the UPC label 071871548748.
The 36-ounce three-packs also have one of three lot codes, which are RS19, RS40 or RS42.
A third recalled product is the 48-ounce four-packs of the 12-ounce vacuum-sealed packages of 'Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON ORIGINAL' with the UPC label 071871548793.
The four-packs have use-by dates ranging from July 18 to Sept. 4 and one of the three lot codes RS19, RS40 or RS42.
Product testing revealed the potential for listeria contamination, which triggered the recall.
The recalled turkey bacon products have the USDA mark of inspection printed on the front of their respective labels.
The USDA advises consumers to check for the recalled products and either throw them away or return them to the respective retailers who sold them.
Eating listeria-contaminated foods might cause listeriosis, which could cause fever, muscle aches, headaches, a stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, according to the USDA.
The condition often is preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems as the invasive infection spreads through the gastrointestinal tract and beyond.

Visual Protein Guide: Understanding Your Daily Protein Needs
Balancing your meals can be tough, especially now that diet is a more complicated equation than the old food pyramid. You have to strike the balance between nutrient-dense and calorie-rich foods, account for carbs and fats and get just the right amount of added sugar and sodium. Wondering about how protein factors in? The recommended daily amount of protein according to the USDA's Dietary Guidelines is no longer a set number but rather a ratio to be adjusted according to your situation. Protein is a necessary component of your diet to help keep your muscles in good shape and regulate weight, energy levels, hormones and more. That being said, too much of anything, even protein, can be bad for your health. There are countless Reddit threads debating how much protein one needs. Users have different takes on the quantity, and there is always an ongoing debate about how you can get the necessary amount. The current recommended daily amount numbers say adults should be getting 0.36 grams of protein per pound -- 0.8 grams per kilogram -- of body weight. What that means, according to the USDA's dietary intake calculator, is that if you weigh 200 pounds, you'll need 73 grams, while a lanky 115-pound lady like me would need 43 grams. This calculator also factors in activity levels and BMI. Of course, it can be difficult to picture 43 or 73 grams of protein outside of powder supplements. But don't worry, because we're here to help you get better at recognizing what protein portions look like and hitting your daily goals. Whether you're a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore, we've put together a wide collection of foods that each add up to 100 grams of protein, so you can portion your meals better. The protein amounts below are estimates based on specific products and their nutrition labels, so your figures may vary depending on the brand or preparation method. Note: Each picture contains 100 grams of protein combined, not 100 grams per item. What 100 grams of protein looks like for omnivores Amanda Capritto/CNET Eating 100 grams of protein per day should be pretty easy if you don't have any dietary restrictions. Here's what that would look like: Two eggs (12 grams) Snack cheese (5 grams) Greek yogurt (15 grams) Beef sausage (14 grams) One can of tuna (27 grams) ½ cup of rolled oats (5 grams) 2 ounces of deli ham (10 grams) 1 ounce of mixed nuts (5 grams) Two slices of rye bread (10 grams) Everything pictured above comes to 103 grams, which puts you slightly over your daily target. What 100 grams of animal protein looks like for carnivores Amanda Capritto/CNET As you can see, getting 100 grams of protein from animal products doesn't take much: Four eggs (24 grams) One can of tuna (27 grams) Three beef meatballs (15 grams) 2 ounces of turkey bacon (10 grams) 3 ounces of turkey breast (24 grams) This amounts to a perfect 100 grams of protein. If you ate all of this in a day, plus bread and other nonanimal products, you would surpass 100 grams of protein in a day. What 100 grams of protein looks like for vegetarians Amanda Capritto/CNET For vegetarians, 100 grams of protein might look like this: Four eggs (24 grams) ½ cup of rolled oats (5 grams) Two snack cheeses (10 grams) ¼ cup of protein granola (10 grams) A single-serve Greek yogurt (15 grams) One tablespoon of hemp seeds (4 grams) Two tablespoons of peanut butter (7 grams) One scoop of plant-based protein powder (20 grams) This comes out to 99 grams of protein, which is pretty close. What 100 grams of protein looks like for vegans Amanda Capritto/CNET Reaching your protein targets levels up in difficulty when you swear off some of its best sources, but these days there are plenty of ways to meet your goals. This nut- and grain-rich array adds up to 79 grams of protein, the RDA for a 210-pound human. 1 ounce of nuts (5 grams) ½ cup of rolled oats (5 grams) A protein granola bar (8 grams) Two slices of rye bread (10 grams) ¼ cup of protein granola (10 grams) One tablespoon of hemp seeds (4 grams) Two tablespoons of chia seeds (10 grams) Two tablespoons of peanut butter (7 grams) One scoop of plant-based protein powder (20 grams) If we double up on the mixed nuts, chia seeds and hemp seeds, this brings us to 93 grams of protein. You could add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or eat a full cup of oats, instead of half a cup, to come closer to 100 grams. This plate also excludes high-protein vegan meat substitutes, such as tofu, tempeh or plant-based meats like the Impossible Burger. Those food sources can make it easier to get 100 grams of protein on a vegan diet.

Tuna Salad Products Recall Map Shows States With New Warning
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. Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in four states are recalling certain items containing tuna salad supplied by Reser's Fine Foods due to fears of potential Listeria contamination. Newsweek reached out to Albertsons via email Monday night for comment. Why It Matters Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium capable of causing serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in pregnant women, older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems. Pregnant women are about 10 times more likely to be infected, and those from Hispanic backgrounds face an even higher risk. For these individuals, exposure can result in miscarriage, stillbirth, hospitalization, or death. The FDA describes listeriosis as the third leading cause of death from food poisoning in the United States. Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. What To Know The FDA says in their alert, that there have been no reports of injuries or illnesses related to the recall. "Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider," the FDA says. The alert also lists in a chart the product details for the impacted tuna salad items with corresponding UPC numbers, sizes and sell through dates. Below is a map of the states impacted by the recall, which includes Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. What People Are Saying The FDA in part in the alert: "The FDA recommends in these cases that anyone who purchased or received any recalled products to use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Listeria monocytogenes can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces." What Happens Next People who have purchased the recalled product are urged to throw the product away or return it to the original place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA says. Those with additional questions may contact Albertsons Companies' Customer Service Center on weekday at 1-877-723-3929 from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT. Consumers can also find updates and comprehensive advice on minimizing listeria risks at the FDA's food safety page. Those at high risk should consider additional preventative measures, including using refrigerator thermometers, consuming ready-to-eat foods promptly, and avoiding high-risk foods such as unpasteurized cheeses and smoked seafood unless heated.

This summer fruit helps beat the heat while boosting heart health and brain health, experts claim
One summertime fruit doesn't just offer juicy sweetness – it can deliver a powerful hydration boost, support brain health and supply essential vitamins and antioxidants, experts say. One summertime fruit doesn't just offer juicy sweetness – it can deliver a powerful hydration boost, support brain health and supply essential vitamins and antioxidants, experts say. Peaches, which are about 89% water, outshine their stone-fruit counterparts like plums and nectarines in terms of hydration, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). They also pack in similar antioxidant benefits with fewer calories. Watermelon and cantaloupe top the charts for highest water content, but peaches follow closely behind, according to the USDA. Fruits that hydrate while also providing electrolytes can help the body better replace and retain fluids than water alone, research shows. The fuzzy fruits offer several electrolytes, plus many other nutrients. 'Peaches are rich in fiber, vitamin C and potassium,' Vandana Sheth, a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist, told Fox News Digital. 'All of these nutrients help support digestion, heart health, and immunity.' 5 One summertime fruit doesn't just offer juicy sweetness – it can deliver a powerful hydration boost, support brain health and supply essential vitamins and antioxidants, experts say. A medium raw peach contains about 285 milligrams of potassium, an essential mineral and electrolyte that plays a critical role in nerve function, muscle contraction, fluid balance, heart health, and blood pressure management. That's more potassium than many popular electrolyte supplements and about 8.4% of the daily recommended intake for men and 11% recommended for women, according to the National Institutes of Health. Most U.S. residents consume too little potassium, which increases their risk of cardiovascular disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 5 Peaches offer several electrolytes, plus many other nutrients, according to reports. alter_photo – Peaches are also heart-healthy options thanks to their antioxidant content. They contain flavonoids, which help lower the risk of heart disease and support memory and cognition, and carotenoids, which can help fight inflammation and protect and restore skin. Early studies have indicated that the antioxidants can have potential anti-cancer effects, Sheth said. 5 'Peaches are rich in fiber, vitamin C and potassium,' Vandana Sheth (not pictured), a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist, told Fox News Digital. LIGHTFIELD STUDIOS – The flavonoids and carotenoids also give peaches their distinct color. 'Peaches combine two groups of pigments that you don't often see together in other fruits and vegetables,' Mary Ann Lila, a distinguished professor in the Plants for Human Health Institute at North Carolina State University, told The New York Times. Raw peaches with their skin also provide about 4% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin A and 13% of the daily vitamin C needed, plus a few grams of fiber to aid digestion and gut health, Sheth said. 5 For those trying to limit sugar intake, pairing peaches – which contain up to 13 grams of natural sugar – with protein or healthy fats is key. Pavel Lysenko – 5 Raw peaches with their skin also provide about 4% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin A and 13% of the daily vitamin C needed, experts said. djoronimo – For those trying to limit sugar intake, pairing peaches – which contain up to 13 grams of natural sugar – with protein or healthy fats is key. This approach helps slow down sugar absorption and stabilizes blood sugar levels, added Sheth, who's also a certified diabetes care and education specialist. 'You can add chopped peaches to your morning toast with nut butter or into your cereal or yogurt bowl, blend it into a smoothie or try grilling peaches with a sprinkle of spice,' she recommended.
