Good morning. Today is Thursday, October 9th, 2025, and there are several important public health alerts listeners across the United States need to know about.

The Food and Drug Administration continues to investigate multiple ongoing disease outbreaks affecting Americans nationwide. Food Safety News reports that a Listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat pasta meals has now affected 20 people across 15 states. Nineteen patients have been hospitalized, and tragically, five people have died. The FDA first reported this outbreak back in April and has since updated its advisory to include additional brands of recalled pasta products.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a public health alert late Monday for two HelloFresh ready-made meals that may contain spinach contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. According to the Sebastian Daily, the alert applies to specific containers of HelloFresh's Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta and Unstuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey, both produced by FreshRealm. While no illnesses have been reported and these products are no longer available for purchase, officials urge anyone who may still have these meals in their refrigerators or freezers to throw them away immediately. The spinach was supplied by Sno Pac Foods and tested positive for the dangerous bacteria.

In major health policy news, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially announced Monday that it has adopted new vaccine recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. LiveNOWFox reports that the CDC has ended its universal COVID-19 vaccine recommendation and will now leave vaccination decisions to individual patients in consultation with their healthcare providers. Acting CDC Director Jim O'Neill stated that informed consent is back, noting that the previous 2022 blanket recommendation for perpetual COVID-19 boosters deterred healthcare providers from discussing risks and benefits with individual patients or parents.

The new guidance specifically recommends that individuals aged six months to 64 years old discuss the risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination with their doctors before being vaccinated. The CDC also endorsed recommendations that the availability of combined shots for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella should be limited, with toddlers receiving separate vaccinations for MMR and chickenpox due to a higher risk of febrile seizures with the combined vaccine.

The FDA is also tracking several other active outbreak investigations. Food Safety News indicates that a Salmonella Lomalinda outbreak has increased from 37 to 39 cases in the past week, though the source has not yet been determined. Additionally, there are three separate Listeria monocytogenes outbreaks under investigation involving 8, 26, and another group of patients, with sources yet to be identified. A Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak affecting 45 people remains under investigation as well.

Listeria infection can be particularly dangerous for older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. In pregnant individuals, it can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature delivery.

Listeners who have questions about food safety can call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854 or visit the USDA website to file a complaint electronically.
