Why now

This is a now story because it is an active recall affecting serious prescription contexts: chronic heart failure and kidney-related mineral/parathyroid management. The reader utility is immediate, not theoretical: check product, dose, lot, expiration, and pharmacy guidance. The stronger angle is not '900,000 bottles' alone. It is that a manufacturing/packaging quality issue can create real-world medication confusion for patients who should not abruptly stop therapy.

Why now

The stronger why-now is practical consumer risk. FSIS classified a June 25 recall involving roughly 5,300 pounds of Molly's Kitchen California Style Pasta Salad because containers may actually hold chicken salad with undeclared egg and milk. The action window is immediate because affected 5-pound tubs have a July 16, 2026 use-by date and may still be in refrigerators or foodservice settings across multiple states.
