A salmonella outbreak has resulted in fruit recalls at Kroger, Sprouts, and Trader Joe’s, with illnesses linked to apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches from several brands. Over 60 children, a number that's likely underreported, have shown signs of lead poisoning due to Miami-based WanaBana’s apple cinnamon purée. U.S. health officials are inspecting an Ecuadorian plant that produced these pouches, which were found to contain toxic lead levels 200 times greater than the FDA limit. A food product sold in about 4,250 Walmarts has been recalled due to listeria. In addition, approximately 11,000 infant mattresses sold exclusively on Amazon are being recalled due to suffocation risks and violations of federal safety standards.
