Listeria in the deli drawer, Salmonella in the dog bowl, and an infant formula mix-up you absolutely do not want to miss — check the fridge before you head out. This is Food Recall Watch, and, yeah, today is a great example of why you do not skim these alerts — deli meat, raw pet food, and baby formula all in one day. We’ve got lot codes, retailer geography, and the exact next step officials want people to take — starting with that IDPH listeria notice right after this. From Molly Sweeney at WCIA:
ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Public health officials in Illinois have issued a warning to residents after a deli product was linked to a Listeria outbreak in the state. In a news release, the Illinois Department of Public Health said certain lots of Daisy Brand headcheese may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Illinois Department of Public Health is warning residents to check their deli drawer for Daisy Brand headcheese, since specific lots may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. USDA FSIS has flagged it, and IDPH says to throw it out. Headcheese already has a narrow audience, but the people who buy it buy it regularly — and Listeria in a ready-to-eat deli meat is not a 'wait and see' thing. What lots? What sell-by dates? That’s the part I need before I can tell my fridge what to do. The article stops before the full lot code and date range, so here’s the move: if you have any Daisy Brand headcheese at home, hold it, check the USDA FSIS recall database directly, and match the lot code on the package before you eat another bite.

Albright’s Raw Pet Food of Fort Wayne, Indiana, announced a voluntary recall on May 6, 2026, covering one specific lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced product after routine FDA sampling detected Salmonella in one composite sample from that lot.
Raw pet food recall out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Albright’s Raw Pet Food is pulling one lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced — lot C001730, Best By April 28, 2027. FDA sampling flagged Salmonella, and the notice went up May 7th. One-pound frozen bricks in clear vacuum packaging — that’s what you’re looking for in the freezer. And Cassidy, I need to flag this: the company is still waiting on confirmatory testing, which means they haven’t even confirmed the contamination level yet. Do not wait for a second opinion on this one. Correct. No reported illnesses yet in pets or people, but Salmonella from raw pet food is a human-handling risk too — bowls, surfaces, hands. If you’ve got lot C001730, pull it from the freezer now and contact Albright’s for a refund. Don’t feed it, don’t wait. From RTL Today:
The Luxembourg Veterinary and Food Administration (ALVA) has issued a new recall for "Nutrilon PROfutura 1" powdered milk. The product had already been recalled in February, but a distribution chain error led to it reappearing on the market. ALVA reported the issue on Wednesday.
ALVA — Luxembourg’s food and veterinary authority — has issued a second recall for Nutrilon PROfutura 1 infant formula, brand Nutricia, 800-gram tin, barcode 8718117612352, use-by date 4 June 2027, lot number 2027.06.04. The concern is cereulide, a toxin from Bacillus cereus. It was already pulled in February, and now it’s back on shelves because of a distribution chain error. A distribution error. On infant formula. Something that was already recalled. Somebody put it back into the supply chain and it ended up in stores again — that is not a paperwork glitch, that is a serious breakdown. If you’re in Luxembourg and you bought powdered formula recently, check that tin right now before the next feed. ALVA says it was sold across multiple stores in Luxembourg.
