Rice, soup mixes recalled over concerns of undeclared allergens, NatureMills says
Several varieties of rice, soups and porridge mixes, among others, produced by the NatureMills brand have been recalled over concerns that they may contain undeclared allergens.
The Food and Drug Administration Authority (FDA) announced May 13 that Texas-based NatureMills US Inc. is recalling select products, sold between Dec. 1, 2023, and May 10, 2025, due to undeclared allergens such as wheat, milk, and sesame.
"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these allergens run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products," the advisory said, adding "no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue."
The recall was initiated after a routine internal audit found missing labeling for ingredients and allergens, which stemmed from an oversight in the packing process, the company said.

The best summer AC temperature? Experts have an unpopular answer.
To save energy and money, experts say to set your thermostat to 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you wake up. Here's why. Summer 2025 is here and temperatures are reaching dangerous levels, making air conditioning important for comfort and safety. But what temperature should you set your thermostat at? The answer is a balancing act between energy savings, comfort and safety. 'It is essential to stay cool during hot weather — use air conditioning or go to a cool place where you feel comfortable,' Dr. Michelle Morse, New York City's acting health commissioner, said in a statement. 'Heat is dangerous, but taking certain precautions can prevent illness and protect your health.' People also have bills to pay as AC demand skyrockets. Here are ways to stay cool while balancing budgets. Summer 2025 brings killer heat. Here are some surprising ways to stay safe. What's the best temperature to set your AC? The best temperature to set your air conditioning is 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you wake up, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program. Energy companies in Florida, Maryland and Missouri also recommend thermostats at 78 degrees during summer months. Not many people follow this recommendation, as a 2021 Consumer Reports survey showed. And a 2024 poll from the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, found 72 degrees was a favorite among readers. But setting your thermostat at a higher temperature can maximize efficiency. What temperature should the thermostat be when I sleep during summer? As temperatures ideally drop at night, people should set thermostats 4 degrees warmer when they go to sleep. If you're away from home, you can avoid unnecessary energy usage by setting temperatures 7 degrees warmer, the energy department said. Even 7 to 10 degrees, for around 8 hours daily, can save up to 10% annually on cooling and heating. Other summer energy tips There are other methods to stay cool, which USA TODAY compiled here. You should also check on others who may be more vulnerable to heat-related illness, including young children, older people and people with chronic health issues. If it gets too hot, look for a nearby cooling center. Even public areas, such as malls, museums or pools, can give critical respite. Contributing: Jeanine Santucci and Greta Cross, USA TODAY.

Leona Maguire, four back at KPMG, still dealing with aftermath of tick bites at Erin Hills
FRISCO, Texas – Leona Maguire doesn't typically wear sun sleeves on the golf course. But, after suffering from several tick bites at the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills, the Irishwoman went on a round of doxycycline, and it has wreaked havoc on her skin. The medication is meant to reduce the chance of contracting Lyme disease, and she's just finished up the two-week treatment. She wore pants last week at the Meijer but couldn't bring herself to do it this week in steamy Texas. 'It's made my skin like tissue paper,' said Maguire, who has a particularly nasty blood blister on her right hand that she said looks like a pepperoni. Her twin sister Lisa, who recently graduated from dental school, dressed the wound twice during Round 1 of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Maguire opened with an even-par 72 at Fields Ranch East course to sit four strokes back of leader Jeeno Thitikul. After four consecutive missed cuts, Maguire has found something with her driver after switching back to last year's model. She also went back to her old putter — almost. Maguire's Ping rep has always had a backup putter at his house that was identical to her longtime putter, and she asked him to bring it out to Texas this week. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle For the last few weeks, she'd been trying a center-shafted putter. 'Sometimes, what do they say, a rest is as good as a change,' said Maguire. 'It's nice to have this familiar putter.'
