Coral Gables, FL – Snack Right Super Foods, Inc., doing business as Brad’s Raw Chips, is recalling certain Brad’s Plant Based Crunchy Kale (2 oz) and Brad’s Veggie Chips Kale (3 oz) products because they may contain thallium.
Thallium (Tl) is a naturally occurring metal found in the soil and in sulfur-based minerals. It can be taken up by plants and vegetables, particularly those in the Brassicaceous family (i.e., cabbage, radish). Acute or chronic exposure to thallium at relatively high levels can result in serious adverse health effects, including gastroenteritis, damage to peripheral nerves, and alopecia (hair loss).
The products were distributed nationwide through KeHE Distributors and United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), and sold directly to five individual consumers. Approximately 25,000 bags (about 2,097 cases) of the recalled products are estimated to be in commerce. Distribution occurred between October 2025 and December 2025.

A long-standing Coudersport tradition continued on October 31, 2026, as the Coudersport Rotary Halloween Parade brought the community together for an evening of Halloween festivities. More than 200 participants joined the celebration, with imaginative and unusual costumes that have made the parade a beloved local tradition.
The entire town embraced the Halloween spirit, with storefronts featuring creatively decorated Halloween windows and the Coudersport Theatre showing a vintage Halloween movie. The costumed Coudersport High School Marching Band added to the excitement by playing spooky music as they marched along the parade route.
The parade began on East Third Street and ended in the parking lot behind the Gunzburger building. Members of the Coudersport Police and Fire departments participated, helping keep the streets clear of traffic and marking the beginning and end of the parade. Students from the Coudersport High School Interact Club joined Rotarians in keeping the event organized and walking the parade route, helping ensure the festivities ran smoothly.
Coudersport Rotarians handed out candy bars to all the children and other parade participants. Rotarians awarded cash prizes for funny and scary costumes in three categories: singles, doubles and groups.
The Halloween celebration continued a cherished community tradition, bringing together families, local businesses, community organizations and spectators for a memorable evening that kicked off the Halloween celebration.
