Cookie Dough
Cookie dough is being recalled in 15 states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is due to a possible Salmonella contamination.

While no illnesses are connected to this recall, Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) can be severe for sensitive groups, including those who are pregnant, immunocompromised, age 65 or older and for young children. If you have symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or stomach pains after eating the impacted product, contact a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
Ground Beef
Approximately 2,855 pounds of raw ground beef have been recalled due to potential E. coli O26 contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The recalled beef is labeled “FORWARD FARMS GRASS-FED GROUND BEEF” and is sold in 16-ounce, vacuum-sealed packages.
The affected packages have a printed “use or freeze by” date of 01/13/26 and bear establishment number “EST 2083.” The impacted beef was produced on December 16, 2025, and sent to distributors in the following states for retail distribution: California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Pennsylvania and Washington.
Anyone who purchased or consumed the recalled product should monitor for symptoms of E. coli O26 infection, which can appear up to 28 days after exposure. These symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever. Adults age 65 or older, young children, immunocompromised individuals and people who are pregnant are most at risk of life-threatening illness due to infection. If you are experiencing any signs of foodborne illness, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
Nasal Spray
There’s an active recall on nasal spray sold across the U.S., per an FDA announcement. This is due to a microbial contamination, and the presence of yeast and/or mold was found in the product.
The over-the-counter spray affected is 20-milliliter bottles of ReBoost Nasal Spray sold at retail locations and online nationwide. The packaging contains a NDC number “62795-4005-9,” UPC “787647 10186 3,” lot code “224268” and an expiration date of December 2027.

Protein Powder
There is an active recall on protein powder distributed and sold in 37 states, according to the FDA. This is due to mislabeling, resulting in an undeclared allergen.
The protein powder being recalled is unflavored, 225-gram bags of Genepro Whey 4th Generation Plasma Treated Protein with a UPC of “850053365126,” lot code “250214” and best-by date of February 13, 2027.

While the recalled powder contains language like “allergen free,” “lactose free” and “dairy free” on its packaging, the product may contain undeclared milk. This can result in a severe allergic reaction to those with dairy allergies, so dispose of or return affected protein powder immediately.

Sausage
A recall on ready-to-eat kielbasa sold nationwide was announced by the FSIS. This is due to a potential foreign matter contamination, specifically metal fragments in the product.
