Snack Time: Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars

There's nothing quite like the creamy deliciousness of fro-yo, right?!? Well it's way sweeter when you can find fro-yo treats that are not only under 100 calories with no artificial sweeteners, but also pack 6 solid grams of protein, too. Enter Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars.

Yasso was the first frozen Greek yogurt bar to hit the market back in 2011, and now, two years later, you can find Yasso in over 15,000 stores nationwide. The Greek yogurt really makes Yasso a unique treat because not only does it provide that hefty dose of protein, but it also gives the bars an extra rich and creamy texture. I think it beats regular fro-yo anyday.

Bonus: These Yasso bars come in a plethora of amazing flavors. In addition to the original lineup of Blueberry, Strawberry and Raspberry (my favorite!), Yasso recently added Mango, Coconut and Vanilla Bean flavors to their roster. With all of them containing little to no fat, 6 grams of protein or more, and ringing in at only 80 calories each, they truly are a guilt-free snack time treat. Stock up on 'em for a summer cool down treat now!

CDC: 87 Now Sickened in Hepatitis A Outbreak Tied to Frozen Berry Mix

All infections traced to product sold at Costco stores, agency says

By Robert Preidt

HealthDay Reporter

TUESDAY, June 11 (HealthDay News) -- The number of people sickened in a hepatitis A outbreak that may be tied to a frozen berry/pomegranate mix now stands at 87, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.

As of June 10, cases had been reported in eight states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Washington. The number of cases is expected to rise as the investigation continues, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC said the hepatitis A cases may be connected to Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend frozen berry and pomegranate mix.

The agency said 36 people who were sickened have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported. Forty-six of 68 ill people interviewed (70 percent) reported eating Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend frozen berry and pomegranate mix.

On June 4, Oregon-based Townsend Farms recalled the frozen berry mixes, which were sold to Costco and Harris Teeter stores. The mixes were sold under the Townsend Farms label at Costco and under the Harris Teeter brand at that chain of stores, the Associated Press reported.

All of those sickened said they'd purchased the product from Costco markets. No cases have been traced to product bought at Harris Teeter, the CDC said.

Costco has removed the product from its shelves and is notifying members who purchased the product since late February 2013, the CDC said.

Preliminary laboratory analyses of specimens from two states suggest the hepatitis A strain responsible for the outbreak is rare in North America but is common in Africa and the Middle East. The strain was pinpointed as the cause of a recent hepatitis A outbreak in Europe linked to frozen berries, and to a 2012 outbreak in British Columbia associated with a frozen berry blend with pomegranate seeds from Egypt. But, there's no evidence that these outbreaks are related, the CDC said.

The label on the Townsend Farms product says it contains products from the United States, Argentina, Chile and Turkey.

According to the World Health Organization, hepatitis A illnesses typically arise within 14 to 28 days of infection. Symptoms may include nausea, fever, lethargy, jaundice and loss of appetite. There's a vaccine against hepatitis A, and it may ease symptoms if given soon after exposure to the virus.

3 Million Lbs of Frozen Pizza, Other Snacks Recalled

Possible E. coli contamination has prompted Rich Products Corp. of Buffalo to expand a recall to include about 3 million pounds of frozen pizza, mozzarella bites, Philly cheese steaks and other snack products.

The recall involves all products made at the company's plant in Waycross, Ga. The products have best buy dates from Jan. 1, 2013 through Sept. 29, 2014, NBCNews.com reported.

The foods may be contaminated with E. coli O121, a strain that can be just as dangerous as the better-known E. coli O157:H7, which is frequently involved in outbreaks caused by hamburger.

This latest recall expands on a March 28 recall of about 196,000 pounds of Farm Rich brand frozen chicken quesadillas and other frozen mini meals and snack items that may have been contaminated with E. coli O121, NBCNews.com reported.

So far, 24 people in 15 states have become ill after eating those products, including 7 who have been hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

WebMD Health News Reviewed byLouise Chang, MD

Dec. 3, 2012 -- Trader Joe's is recalling one of its frozen chicken and rice dishes because it might be tainted with listeria, which could cause food poisoning.

No illnesses have been reported, according to Trader Joe's.

The recall includes 12.5-ounce boxes of Trader Joe's Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice that have the product code "2012-10-31" and the lot code "30512" on the package. Also, the USDA has published a list of stores where the chicken was sold.

The products were made in Canada and sold at Trader Joe's in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

If you have the recalled meal in your freezer, don't eat it. Throw it out or return it to Trader Joe's for a refund.

Listeria infection can cause fever, headache, neck stiffness, and muscle aches, often preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. It's particularly risky for older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and their newborns.

For more information on the recall, call Trader Joe's at 626-599-3817 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
