SALINAS, Calif. (KION-TV) — The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced Tuesday that Taylor Fresh Foods is voluntarily recalling its Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kit 6/8.3oz. because it may contain undeclared sesame and soy allergens.

The company says that people who may have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame and soy may have a risk of serious to life-threatening allergic reactions if the products are consumed.

According to the FDA, individual packets of dressing and toppings that were supplied by Latitude 36 Foods, LLC. and included in Taylor Farms salad kits, incorrectly included Asian Sesame Ginger dressing rather than the intended Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.

This, the FDA says, can lead to undeclared sesame and soy allergens in some Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kits.

The kits in question were recalled in 25 states — including California, according to the FDA — and include code dates starting with “TFRS” and a “Best If Used By” date up to and including September 4, 2025.

The FDA saying that the product code can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the packaging.

Consumers who have the recalled salad kit should discard it immediately and not consume the salad, according to the FDA. Refunds are available at the location of purchase.

There have been no illnesses reported to Taylor Farms in connection with the recalled product, and this recall does not apply to any other Taylor Farms products or brands.

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – The father accused of leaving his toddler unattended in a vehicle resulting in the child’s death in El Centro is now out on bond.

The father of the two-year-old victim, Jose Hernandez, posted a $35,000 bond on Saturday and is now out of custody.

Hernandez, 37, made his first court appearance after missing three court hearings due to medical reasons.

During the arraignment, the Imperial County District Attorney’s Office suggested the suspect should wear a GPS due to his connections to another country, but that was denied by the judge.

The DA also requested a criminal protective order for another child of Hernandez.

“The people were asking for a criminal protective order because we wanted to ensure not only the integrity of the investigation but to protect the other minor who is still under his care,” said Jessica Moreno with the D.A.’s Office.

The judged denied that order.

Although Hernandez is out on bond, he must follow some conditions.

“He has to report to the probation department twice a week in person, he cannot leave the state of California without prior approval from the court, and he has to abide by the conditions of a good order,” said Moreno.

Hernandez is currently facing charges of involuntary manslaughter and child abuse resulting in death. The D.A. has also added a special allegation of causing great bodily injury.

We spoke to Hernandez and his attorney and they said they won’t be commenting at this time.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Law enforcement ramped up DUI enforcement Saturday night, joining a national effort to stop impaired drivers before tragedy strikes

The effort, known as Saturation Saturday, is a partnership between law enforcement agencies and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to increase enforcement and public awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. 

According to MADD, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash every 85 seconds in the United States.

Saturation Saturday began eight years ago and now includes more than 260 law enforcement departments across 16 states and Puerto Rico. 

Prosecutors joined officers on ride-alongs to observe how DUI stops are handled in real time.

While arrests are sometimes part of the outcome, Sgt. Zeamer said the goal is to prevent crashes altogether.

In Missouri, impaired driving remains a serious issue. It accounts for 18 percent of traffic fatalities statewide, according to the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. Impaired driving includes not only alcohol use, but also drug use, including prescription medications and marijuana.

According to the coalition, “drug-related fatalities have steadily increased over the last 10 years.”

Law enforcement and traffic safety advocates say efforts like Saturation Saturday are about more than citations and arrests; they’re about changing behavior and saving lives.

According to a Facebook post made by the Buchanan County Missouri Sheriff, their departments statistics for the night were 61 traffic stops, 2 warrant arrests, and 3 DWI arrests.

The St. Joseph Police Department reported that officers conducted 48 traffic stops during Saturation Weekend. Seven vehicles refused to stop, while officers issued 19 citations and 29 warnings for various traffic violations. In addition, two people were arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated and two others were taken into custody on outstanding warrants.

“MADD Saturation Weekend is about more than statistics, it’s about saving lives,” Police Chief Paul Luster said in the release. “Every impaired driver we take off the road represents a potential tragedy prevented. Our officers remain committed to making our streets safer for everyone.”

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) – The Pueblo YMCA is the newest space in Colorado to host “NeuroPong,” and volunteers said it’s continuing to pick up speed.

“It’s open to anyone who would like to improve their brain health, which is almost everyone, I think,” said professional table tennis player and Pueblo Nueropong volunteer coach Alfred Adjei.

NeuroPong is a free program for people with cognitive disorders. The organization said ping-pong works as “neurorehabilitation and prehabilitation” for people with conditions like Parkinson’s, Dementia and Multiple Sclerosis.

“Our brain is shrinking, getting older. So, if we can challenge our brain, stimulate our brain with something new, our brain is like, ‘thank you, thank you!'” Neuropong founder Dr. Antonio Barbera said.

The Pueblo program started last November. It’s free for participants every Monday at the Pueblo YMCA from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

“It makes me feel good. You’re using your time well,” said Pueblo Neuropong donor and volunteer coach Tom Ossner.

‘I just have a lot of pride, a lot of joy, to see all those stories,” Adjei said.

Dr. Barbera founded NueroPong in 2020 in Fort Collins after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He said he discovered the benefits of Ping-Pong after noticing his symptoms improved after playing with his son in the garage.

“After a couple of days, I was like, ‘William! This elephant on my chest,’ as I call it, ‘is leaving my chest and sitting on a chair when we play,” Dr. Barbera said. “I was like, ‘It’s impossible! I don’t believe it!’ I was surprised, and as a scientist, I said, ‘Am I drunk?’”

Every piece of equipment at the Pueblo location is donated from the community. Contact the Pueblo YMCA if you are interested in signing up. There is also a NeuroPong program at the Downtown YMCA in Colorado Springs.

Pueblo is the sixth Neuropong location in Colorado alongside Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Grand Junction. There are also locations in Utah and internationally in Italy and Austria.
