Remember those salmonella outbreaks tied to cucumbers last year? Well, they’re happening again—and shockingly, one of the same growers is involved. Hundreds of people have gotten sick, and investigators are pointing to contaminated irrigation water as the likely culprit. It’s a frustrating case of déjà vu for food safety watchdogs.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a few bad cucumbers—it’s a recurring issue that exposes gaps in how we monitor and prevent contamination on farms. If the same grower keeps popping up in outbreaks, it raises serious questions about whether regulators and the industry are doing enough to protect consumers. For anyone who loves fresh produce (so, most of us), this is a wake-up call about where our food comes from—and how easily things can go wrong.

Teva Canada is recalling certain batches of its Seasonale birth control pills after a customer reported finding an extra row of placebo pills in their pack. The product is designed to have just one row of inactive pills, but some packages mistakenly included two, which could throw off users' dosing schedules and increase the risk of unintended pregnancy.

Health Canada is recalling tens of thousands of window air conditioners over concerns that some units could develop mould—a problem that could pose health risks, especially for people with allergies or respiratory issues. If you've got one of these units, you'll want to check the recall notice to see if yours is affected.
