Little Temptations Chocolatey Eyeballs
Crystal Temptations recalled certain Chocolatey Eyeballs packages because their labels did not declare milk.
Context & what to check

Check the style number and label photos. Follow the company’s disposal and refund instructions; refunds are handled by the company, not the store.

Taylor Farms de Mexico iceberg lettuce
FDA continued investigating an outbreak linked to recalled iceberg lettuce, including certain Marketside products and foodservice supplies.
Context & what to check
FDA says the recalled lettuce is past its best-by dates and off the market. An ongoing investigation does not mean that the recalled lettuce is still being sold.
Read the advisory for the affected products and FDA’s advice for people who previously purchased or ate them.
FDA update
Outbreak endedInfant botulism
Nara Organics powdered infant formula
The outbreak ended, but FDA advises families to check for recalled Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula still at home.

Discard remaining recalled formula. Follow the FDA notice for cleaning advice and seek immediate medical care if an infant has signs of botulism.

Clover Hill Dairy soft cheese
The outbreak linked to requeson, a ricotta-style cheese, ended. FDA completed its outbreak investigation.
Context & what to check
Recalls covered Clover Hill Dairy products and cheese sold under other labels. Products reached stores, distributors, and farmers markets.
Check refrigerators and freezers for affected cheese. An ended outbreak does not make recalled products safe to eat; follow the FDA notice.
FDA update

Coast Citrus jalapeños & prepared foods
Recalled jalapeños distributed by Coast Citrus led to additional recalls of foods made with those peppers.
Context & what to check
The notice links to affected prepared foods. FDA says Chipotle and QDOBA removed the affected supply and did not present an ongoing risk from this outbreak at the time of its update.
Use FDA’s linked product list to check specific foods. Do not eat recalled jalapeños or products made with them.
A little perspective
Better questions.
Wherever you shop.
Buying local can make it easier to ask who made your food, what’s in it, and how to store it. It doesn’t guarantee safety. The same care matters at a farm stand, a home bakery, and a supermarket.
A recall and an outbreak are different.
Recalls can involve contamination, an undeclared allergen, or another product problem. A recall announcement does not necessarily mean illnesses have been reported.
“Outbreak ended” isn’t an all-clear for recalled food.
Some recalled foods can remain in a freezer or pantry long after an investigation ends. Keep following the product notice.
