Dark chocolate almonds recalled over potentially fatal allergen contamination
Grocery chain Meijer has announced the recall of certain packages of dark chocolate almonds due to contamination with an undeclared allergen. The company announced the recall June 13, stating that packages of Frederik's Dark Chocolate Almonds may also contain dark chocolate cashews, according to a press release. Those with a cashew allergy run the risk of experiencing a life-threatening reaction if they consume the product, as the nuts were not declared on the packaging. Two different packages of Frederik's Dark Chocolate Almonds were affected by the recall: The black stand-up pouches sold at Meijer stores in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Wisconsin with a sell-by date of 05/07/2026 or 05/28/2026, and the 8-count, 1.5-ounce multi-pack boxes with a sell-by date of 05/05/2026. No illnesses have been reported. Customers who have purchased the product are urged to return it to Meijer to claim a full refund. Meijer's statement is the latest in a slew of recalls impacting various foods and chains. Turkana Food Inc issued a recall on 352 cases of its Floria Dried Apricots, according to a press release shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday. The product was recalled because it contains an undeclared allergen, sulfites, or 'chemicals used as preservatives' added to foods, beverages, and medications to prevent them from spoiling, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Floria Dried Apricots impacted by the recall were sold at stores in 19 states: Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The product has the LOT number 440090478-15-333 on the bottom portion of the packaging. The UPC Label 2539560010 is marked by a sticker on the side of the packaging. The expiration date of November 2026 is also on the bottom of the packaging. Then, ice cream company Breyers recalled one of its flavors following customer concerns that there was a mislabeling error. On Tuesday, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed in a report that 6,668 cases of Breyers Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream were voluntarily recalled by Unilever Manufacturing on June 2 after it was found that the tubs actually contained Rocky Road ice cream. The Chocolate Truffle flavor has an allergen label that reads, 'may contain tree nuts,' while the Rocky Road flavor declares almonds as one of the ingredients. In a statement made to People, a representative for Breyers said, 'People with an almond allergy should not consume the product due to risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. The safety and quality of our products are our top priority. For more information, consumers can visit or call 1-800-931-2826.'

Early Illness Plus Sensitization May Spell Trouble for Lungs
Sensitization by age 2 years to an allergen such as cow's milk, egg white, peanut, cat dander, or dust mites may influence how early-life respiratory tract infections affect lung function in adulthood, new research showed. Among sensitized children, each additional month of respiratory tract infection in the first 2 years of life was associated with poorer lung function at age 25 years. METHODOLOGY: Researchers analyzed data from a prospective cohort study in Australia that recruited 620 infants (51.1% boys) born between 1990 and 1994 who had at least one parent or sibling with self-reported allergic disease, including asthma. Parents answered questions until the children were 2 years old about how often their child had had a cough, rattle, or wheeze in the past month. Skin prick testing was used to determine allergic sensitization at age 2 years. When participants were 18 and 25 years old, the researchers assessed lung function using spirometry. TAKEAWAY: At age 25 years among the participants with sensitization, each additional month of respiratory tract infection early in life was associated with a decrease in the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (Z-score, -0.06; P = .055). = .055). Among nonsensitized participants, each additional month of respiratory illness was associated with an increase in lung function (Z-score, 0.07; P = .012). = .012). Findings were similar at age 18 years and for other measures of lung function, but there was less evidence of an interaction at age 12 years. IN PRACTICE: 'Even in the absence of reported chronic respiratory symptoms, close monitoring and prevention of recurrent respiratory infections in children with sensitization may help minimize disease progression and functional impairment, and thereby enable attainment of optimal adult lung function,' the authors of the study wrote. SOURCE: Shyamali C. Dharmage, MD, PhD, with The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia was the corresponding author of the study, which was published online on June 2 in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology. LIMITATIONS: The study relied on parent reports of respiratory tract infection. The researchers were unable to adjust for gestational age or birthweight because of missing data. Sensitization was assessed against a limited number of allergens. DISCLOSURES: The authors reported having no conflicts of interest.
