FSIS Issues Public Health Alert for Ready-To-Eat Turkey Wrap Product Due To Possible Listeria Contamination

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for a ready-to-eat (RTE) turkey wrap product due to concerns that the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. A recall was not requested because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.

At our August 25, 2025, meeting at A&W West End Grill, Greg Brink introduced his guest speaker, Sheila Gabreski. Sheila has been coordinating the Penn State Cooperative Extension of Potter County for 15 years and has been a 4-H Leader for 20 years. Both Greg and Sheila are on the Community Garden Planning Committee.

The Community Garden is the brainchild of Dr. Mary Ann Rigas, a Pediatrician who became concerned about the health of children in our area. She wanted, not only to teach kids how to eat healthily from stores, but to teach them to grow healthy food.

Last season: 1 of 9 atUnited East Championship to three-peat, 41^st at NCAA Division III Nationals.

Coach: Rob Lytle, fourth season, three-time UE Coach of the Year.

Top returnees: (last spring regular-season scoring averages) Senior Gunner Redmond, of Lock Haven (78.7); junior Brady Handy, of Huntingdon (82); junior Logan Gawlinski, of Kittanning (83.5).

Key losses: Peyton Mussina (75.5), Will Orwig (79.1).

Outlook: Replacing graduated Mussina and Orwig, leaders of the team for the last several seasons and UE first-teamers a year ago, will be a tall order, but the Wildcats will count on returning UE first-teamer Redmond and third-teamers Handy and Gawlinski for continued success.

Inside the UE: Penn College will seek its fourth straight championship during the spring season with eight other teams competing.

UPCOMING MATCHES

All Fredonia water customers including those in Town of Pomfret must boil their water used for drinking cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or making coffee until further notice. The Village had two failing bacteria samples in the distribution system. The laboratory results initially reported that one of the locations tested positive for E.coli.

However, a laboratory reporting error was discovered and the laboratory later confirmed that two (2) locations contained total coliformbut neither location contained E.coli bacteria. There are no indications that E.coli is present in the Fredonia watersystem. The presence of total coliform bacteria in two different points of the distribution system is cause forconcern and a boil water order remains in effect.

Boiling the water kills bacteria and other microbes that may be present. For more information contact the Village at 716-679-2307, the County at 716-753-4481 or go to the County Website: https://chqgov.com/news
