Health food supplement sold online recalled due to presence of Salmonella
A popular health food supplement sold online is being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned consumers that all batches and best before dates of Orgenism Eggshell Membrane Capsules that are sold on Amazon are being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella. Eggshell membrane capsules are health food supplements made from the thin layer found between the eggshell and egg white that reduce joint pain and stiffness and improve joint flexibility. The FSAI has now issued a recall for Orgenism Eggshell Membrane Capsules; pack size: 60 capsules, 500 mg per serving with all batch codes and all best before dates due to the presence of Salmonella. People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts four to seven days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness. Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers. Caterers should not use the implicated batches and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.

Passenger dragged off plane after request for specific seat for his size refused
An overweight passenger was dragged out of a plane kicking and screaming after allegedly demanding an emergency aisle seat for his bigger frame. The tourist reportedly complained there was not enough room in his window seat on the Thai Lion Air flight leaving from Bangkok on Wednesday. He requested to be transferred to the emergency exit seat after spotting it had more leg room - but appeared to throw a mega tantrum when flight attendants refused to grant his request, reports The Mirror. The man was said to have delayed the flight by around an hour before police arrived to drag him off the Boeing 737 aircraft. Footage shows officers yanking the stubborn man, seen in the video wearing an orange Garfield shirt, out off his seat. He then sprawled out and blocked the aisle in protest. Furious passengers screamed at him to "get out of the way" as airport police hauled him off the jet. Another female passenger was heard calling him "selfish". One woman later yelled at him: "When you said apologise for the first thing I said, don't forget that." Police carried the man by his arms and legs to eventually remove him from the aircraft. It took off around an hour later from the Don Mueang International Airport (DMK). A passenger who recorded footage of the incident said: "At first, I thought we couldn't take off because the man had fallen ill. "It turned out he just thought the economy seat was too crowded and insisted on moving to the emergency exit. The flight attendants had to call the police because he refused to cooperate."
