RELEASE: Winco Foods, a regional grocery chain based in Boise, Idaho, is voluntarily recalling three frozen berry products from stores in 10 states. These products have the potential to be contaminated with norovirus and have been removed from store shelves.

The products under recall are listed as follows:

Winco Foods Frozen Blackberries, 16-ounce bag, UPC: 70552-30502, Best By Code Dec/09/2021.
Winco Foods Frozen Berry Medley, 16-ounce bag, UPC: 70552-30522, Best By Code Dec/09/2021.
Winco Foods Frozen Berry Medley, 16-ounce bag, UPC: 70552-30512, Best By Code Dec/09/2021.

Winco Foods is encouraging consumers located in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, Texas and Utah to dispose of these products immediately, or return them for a full refund.

Norovirus, also called the stomach bug or flu, is a contagious virus that can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms typically last no longer than 48 hours, although the elderly, children and those with compromised immune systems may experience more severe symptoms for a longer period of time.

No illnesses have been reported to date. Those with further questions may contact the company at 1-800-824-1706 Monday-Friday between 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. MST.

Additionally, AFC Distribution Corp., a ready-to-eat food supplier, is recalling one variety of its sushi products in 40 states. AFC's Cooked Butterfly Tail-On Whiteleg Shrimp (Sushi Ebi) is being recalled for possible Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an illness related to the consumption of shellfish and can cause watery or bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever and headache. Symptoms typically occur within 24 hours upon infection and the illness lasts 1-7 days. Severe illness is rare and generally only found in those with compromised immune systems.

This product was distributed to AFC retail counters in grocery stores, cafeterias and corporate dining centers across the country, including major regional grocers like Publix, Harris Teeter, Shoprite and Ralph's.

AFC Sushi Ebi is being recalled in AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, AD, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV and WY. No illnesses have been reported to date.

AFC says it has ceased using the recalled ingredient, but the company is urging anyone who has this product to discard or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Those with further questions may contact AFC's Recall Team at 866-467-8744 Monday-Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. PST or by email at recall@afcsushi.com



Belly fat can lead to a sudden attack of pancreatitis: study
https://consumer.healthday.com/vitamins-...55748.html

RELEASE: Obesity is not only tied to chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, researchers now say it's also linked to a painful condition known as acute pancreatitis. "We were able to demonstrate that fat within the belly is rapidly degraded during acute [sudden-onset] pancreatitis, but not during diverticulitis [another condition that causes abdominal pain]," said researcher Vijay Singh. He's a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix.

The catalyst for that degradation is an enzyme called PNLIP, he said. It can spur creation of fatty acids, which Singh said can cause vital body systems -- including circulation, kidney and lung function -- to fail. Pancreatitis is inflammation in the pancreas, a gland that is located in the upper abdomen. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digestion and hormones that help regulate the way your body processes sugar (glucose), according to the Mayo Clinic.

The increased belly fat found in obese people can worsen acute pancreatitis, Singh said. In addition, the researchers found that unsaturated fats, such as the oleic acid in olive oil -- which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers safer for human consumption -- also increases the risk of organ failure.

"Our findings open the door to new therapeutic targets to treat pancreatitis and thereby prevent organ failure," Singh said in a Mayo Clinic news release. "By inhibiting PNLIP, we may be able to prevent severe pancreatitis, avoid prolonged hospitalizations and save lives."

The study was published online recently in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more on pancreatitis.
