    Trader Joe’s is asking its customers to throw away a certain frozen product over fears that it may contain plastic.

    The beloved grocery store chain announced the recall on Feb. 14. In a statement on its website, Trader Joe’s advised customers to dispose of any Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowls, regardless of UPC code or best-by dates.

    “Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s store for a full refund,” the company said.

    The supermarket chain did not disclose any reported injuries or how many product units were impacted.

    Trader Joe’s has recalled products over plastic contamination in the past. Last year, the chain’s Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings were recalled over fears that it contained hard plastic from a permanent marker pen, impacting 61,839 pounds of the frozen soup dumplings.

    Trader Joe’s also recalled 653,000 of its mango tangerine scented candles last August. At the time, the grocery store said that when the candle flame was lit, it could “spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger than expected flame, posing a fire hazard.”

    “If you purchased the Mango Tangerine Scented Candle, please do not use it,” Trader Joe’s said in its recall announcement. “We urge you to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund.”

    Customers with questions about the latest recall are urged to contact Trader Joe’s Customer Relations at (626) 599-3817.

  • Trump House allies want frozen USAID funds used to deport illegal immigrants

    Trump House allies want frozen USAID funds used to deport illegal immigrants

    EXCLUSIVE: A group of House Republicans is pushing for Congress to reroute foreign aid funding frozen by President Donald Trump into enhanced deportation efforts of illegal immigrants in the U.S.

    Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is unveiling his Restoring American Sovereignty Act on Thursday, backed by fellow House Freedom Caucus members Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Tom Tiffany, R-Wis.

    “Americans were put last at nearly every turn during the Biden administration. This was evidenced by the criminal crossing crisis at our southern border and the wasteful distribution of taxpayer dollars by agencies like USAID,” Ogles said.

    SCOOP: KEY CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS DRAWS RED LINE ON HOUSE BUDGET PLAN

    He said his bill would “utilize the USAID funding paused by President Trump to deport illegal aliens from the United States.”

    Tiffany said the bill “ensures our tax dollars fund Americans’ security” and called the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) an “international money laundering scheme.”

    “America has spent billions of taxpayer dollars funding Democrats’ pet projects in countries that despise us and everything we stand for,” Biggs said.

    Trump paused most foreign aid for a period of 90 days to give his new administration time to evaluate what money going overseas aligns with his agenda.

    He and Secretary of State Marco Rubio included carve-outs for emergency needs.

    Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiated a crackdown on USAID earlier this week. As of Friday, Feb. 7, nearly all of USAID’s overseas employees will be put on administrative leave.

    Republicans have argued that USAID has long been mismanaged and that it was sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to LGBTQ initiatives and other social causes overseas. They have also accused the agency of stonewalling GOP oversight efforts.

    Democrats have heavily criticized the rollback, attacking Musk as an un-elected bureaucrat whose businesses also rely on government contracts. They’ve also argued that freezing USAID funding imperils critical initiatives like cancer and HIV research in Africa.

    BLACK CAUCUS CHAIR ACCUSES TRUMP OF ‘PURGE’ OF ‘MINORITY’ FEDERAL WORKERS

    Ogles’ bill is a brief two pages, stating that “funds paused pursuant to” Trump’s executive order on foreign aid “may be made available and used by the President to deport illegal aliens from the United States,” according to legislative text viewed by Fox News Digital.

    The Tennessee Republican is one of Trump’s most vocal allies in the House of Representatives. 

    Last month, he introduced a bill to authorize Trump to buy Greenland and a constitutional amendment paving the way for him to have a third White House term.

  • Some Wegmans frozen chicken nuggets contaminated with bone fragments says FSIS

    Some Wegmans frozen chicken nuggets contaminated with bone fragments says FSIS

    Some frozen Wegmans chicken nuggets may be contaminated with bone fragments, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) warned in a Monday public health alert. 

    The public health alert about the “possible extraneous material contamination” comes just a handful of days after a recall of the potentially-affected 46-ounce packages of Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat nuggets by New York-based grocery store chain. The nuggets, made in late August of last year, are not on store shelves.

    The FSIS said it released the public health alert to “ensure that consumers are aware that this product should not be consumed.”  

    The potentially contaminated Wegmans chicken nugget packages can be identified by a best-by date of Aug. 26, 2025, and the establishment number “P-33944,” according to the health agency housed within the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

    “FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers,” the alert said. “Consumers who have purchased this product are urged to not consume it. This product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.” 

    FOX Business reached out to the grocery store chain for comment.

    No consumers have reported injuries from eating the Wegmans chicken nuggets. However, Wegmans has fielded “multiple” complaints from consumers about finding pieces of bone, the FSIS said. 

    The grocery store chain said on its website that it will give a full refund to consumers that return packages of the potentially contaminated chicken nuggets.
