Popular Frozen Item Pulled From Walmart, Costco And More In Widespread Food Recall
100 Percent Fed Up | June 05, 2026 | Russell

Consumers are being encouraged to check their freezers for a product that might contain harmful or potentially deadly bacteria.

In the latest recall linked to salmonella risks associated with powdered milk, a popular frozen food sold by Costco and Walmart has been pulled from shelves.

The Hill provided these details:

The most recent recall was shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday.

Four sentences. For God’s sake, what was recalled?

Select batches of Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread were recalled because the dry milk powder was used in the five-cheese sauce blend.

Oh, so one “item” was recalled?

Well, not so fast. This should have been the lead paragraph:

Other recalls linked to the powder impact frozen pizzas, pork rinds, multiple Zapp’s and Dirty brand chips, several snack mixes sold under brand names Fisher, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts, and Target’s private label, Good & Gather; select croutons sold at Kroger stores in several states; specialty beverages;

… could you be more specific?

and select 3-ounce bottles of Pork King Good Sour Cream & Onion seasoning products.

Also recalled because of the powder were several batches of sour cream and onion cheese curds sold only in New York, select pita chips sold at Giant Eagle stores in five states, a specific lot of sour cream and onion popcorn seasoning, multiple products containing a white cheddar seasoning, and a parmesan ranch seasoning product sold at Walmart stores nationwide.

Guess one would have to go to the source for the list.

If you purchased an affected product, here’s what to do:

You are advised not to consume products affected by the recall.

Now THAT’s useful information!


 

Bill Gates: “Why Didn’t I Think of TICKS Instead of Mosquitoes? Oh, Well, Belts and Suspenders.”

Outrage as scientists push to create ticks that spread red-meat allergies: ‘Isn’t this biological terrorism?’
daily mail

A recently unearthed study has set off a tidal wave of outrage after scientists claimed it was ‘morally’ justifiable to infect people with a virus making them allergic to meat.

Researchers Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth from Western Michigan University published an inflammatory paper in 2025, making the case that society had a moral ‘duty’ to spread ticks that were infected with or engineered to carry alpha-gal syndrome (AGS).

AGS is a real medical condition transmitted to humans through tick bites, causing victims to suffer allergic reactions when eating red meat, including beef, pork and lamb, dairy and other products derived from mammals.

The symptoms can range from a mild case of hives or stomach pain to severe and even life-threatening cases of anaphylaxis – where blood pressure suddenly drops and the person becomes unable to breathe as their airways swell up.

Crutchfield and Hereth claimed that it was morally wrong to eat meat because of the suffering animals endure and the environmental damage that the meat industry allegedly causes.

They argued that the only reason society should not be spreading ticks to infect people with AGS today is that scientists do not currently have an easy and effective way to do it on a large scale.

However, they added: ‘But it is feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If we are right, then today we have the obligation to research and develop the capacity to proliferate tickborne AGS and, tomorrow, carry out that proliferation.’

Their main findings were that promoting genetically modified ticks to spread AGS would make the world better and help people become more ‘virtuous’ by avoiding meat.

They also claimed that this process would not violate anyone’s rights, despite proposing to intentionally infect the population with a life-threatening infection.

Did OnlyFans Get Hacked? The Truth Behind the Viral 340M Leak
MSN | Derek Gibbs

A claim that OnlyFans suffered a massive data breach has spread rapidly across X and Reddit in the past 48 hours, with reports alleging that a hacker is selling a database containing records for 340 million users and creators. The viral story has triggered panic among creators and subscribers, with many rushing to change passwords or delete accounts.

However, a closer look at the available evidence shows this is not a direct hack of OnlyFans’ systems. Instead, it appears to be a large-scale compilation of data pulled from older breaches and publicly visible profiles.

What the hacker is actually selling

On May 25, 2026, cybersecurity researchers and outlets including Hackread reported that a threat actor using the alias Euphoric_Reply_5727 is advertising a massive OnlyFans-linked dataset on a cybercrime forum. The asking price is 0.313 BTC, roughly $76,000 at the time of listing.

What a world. Hackers blackmailing — or blackmailers hacking — OnlyFantasists. Does anyone have time for a real job anymore? No, not that kind of job.
