FDA: Listeria Concerns Prompt Broccoli Recall at Walmart Stores








FRIDAY, Jan. 3, 2025 -- Braga Fresh is voluntarily issuing a recall of its Marketside Broccoli Florets due to possible Listeria contamination, according to a company announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The company has issued a recall of the 12-oz bags in 20 states after testing uncovered Listeria bacteria in one sample. The affected bags were sold at more than 1,000 Walmart stores in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

The broccoli bags are past their "best by" date of Dec. 10, 2024, but Braga Fresh is warning customers who may have frozen the product for later use.

According to the recall notice, the contamination was discovered during random testing at a Texas store.

While no illnesses have been reported, the FDA urges anyone with the affected product to throw it out immediately. Affected lots include the lot code BFFG327A6 on the front of the bag and the UPC code 6 81131 32884 5 on the back.

No other Braga Fresh products are part of this recall.

For this reason, the label will no longer show the per...

MUSCLES EXERCISING POWERS NEURON GROWTH AND REPAIR

  MUSCLES EXERCISING POWERS NEURON GROWTH AND REPAIR The findings suggest that biochemicals released during exercise and the physical effects of exercise could help heal nerves. Exercise is good for the body. Regular activity strengthens muscles and can strengthen bones, blood vessels, and the immune system. Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual neurons. They observed that muscles contract during exercise and release biochemical signals called myokines. In these muscle-generated signals, neurons grew four times further than neurons not exposed to myokines. These cellular-level experiments suggest that exercise can have a significant biochemical effect on nerve growth. Surprisingly, the researchers also found that neurons respond to the biochemical signals of exercise and its physical impacts. The team observed that when neurons are repeatedly pulled back and forth, similar to how muscles contract and expand during trainin...

  CANNABIS, THE PHANTOM MENACE, MORE DANGEROUS THAN IMAGINED  Scientists have known for some time that cannabis use has deleterious effects on health long-term. The evidence keeps piling up of how dangerous this drug can be.  A recent study conducted at McGill University showed how cannabis increases the risks of psychosis. These are just the latest concerns, as cannabis has also been implicated in increasing heart attacks and stroke risks, according to a study of 430,000 adults conducted by the American Heart Association. According to findings at McGill University, Young adults at risk of psychosis show reduced brain connectivity, a deficit that cannabis use appears to worsen. In the first-of-its-kind study, McGill University researchers detected a marked decrease in synaptic density -- the connections between neurons that enable brain communication -- in indivi...
