Initiative Foods (02/16/2026)
IF Copack LLC d.b.a. Initiative Foods (“Initiative Foods”) is recalling one lot of the “Tippy Toes” brand Apple Pear Banana Fruit puree (“Product”) due to elevated levels of patulin.

Long-term exposure resulting from ingestion of patulin can lead to various adverse health consequences, including a potential for immune suppression, nerve damage, headache, fever, and nausea. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
The Product was distributed nationwide in retail grocery stores in all U.S. states other than Alaska. The Product may have been distributed in the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico.

Food Safety Tips for Super Bowl Weekend (02/02/2026)
#1 Handle Takeout and Delivery Safely
- Transport takeout in insulated bags if travel time exceeds one hour.
- Serve food promptly or divide into smaller portions and refrigerate until ready to reheat and serve.
- Keep food hot at 140 degrees F or above using a preheated oven, warming tray, chafing dish or slow cooker.
- Reheat food containing meat or poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F as measured by a food thermometer.
- If reheating in the microwave, spread food evenly, stir thoroughly, and check for cold spots to ensure a safe internal temperature is reached throughout.
- Reheat liquid foods like soups and sauces to a boil.
#2 Keep Food out of the Danger Zone
- Serve food in smaller batches. Bring out one round of food during the first half of the game and another during the second to ensure your food doesn’t stay out for more than two hours.
- Discard perishable foods left out for longer than two hours. To prevent food waste and enjoy leftovers after the game, refrigerate or freeze perishable items within two hours.
- If food will be out for more than two hours:
- Keep cold foods at a temperature of 40 degrees F or below by nestling in ice.
- Keep hot foods at a temperature of 140 degrees F or above by placing food in a preheated oven, warming trays, chafing dishes or slow cookers.
#3 Use a Food Thermometer
Ensure your food reaches a safe minimum internal temperature when cooking at home:
- Meat (whole beef, pork and lamb) 145 degrees F with a 3-minute rest
- Ground meats 160 degrees F
- Poultry (ground and whole) 165 degrees F
- Eggs 160 degrees F
- Fish and shellfish 145 degrees F
- Leftovers and casseroles 165 degrees F
If serving chicken wings, use a food thermometer on several wings to gauge the doneness of the entire batch. If one is under 165 degrees F, continue cooking all wings until they reach the safe internal temperature.
#4 Follow the Four Steps to Food Safety
- Clean: Wash hands for 20 seconds before and after handling your takeout or delivered food, as well as any raw meat or poultry you prepare at home. Clean hands, surfaces and utensils with soap and water before and after meal prep. Sanitize any surfaces that may have come in contact with food using a commercial or homemade solution (1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water).
- Separate: Use separate cutting boards, plates and utensils to avoid cross-contamination between your takeout or delivery foods and any raw meat or poultry you are preparing at home.
- Cook: Confirm foods are cooked or reheated to a safe internal temperature by using a food thermometer.
- Chill: Chill foods promptly if not consuming immediately after cooking.

"Navitas has provided Organic Chia Seeds to our customers for more than 20 years. Providing safe, healthy food for our customers is why we have been in business this long and it’s why we are recalling this product today” said, Ira Haber, CEO.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses.
If you have any of the 8oz Organic Chia Seeds with the lot numbers listed above, do not consume them. We ask that you open the bag, discard the chia seeds, and dispose of the bag in a manner that makes it unusable.
