Whole Foods' '365' Chicken Sourced from Perdue Plants with Salmonella Issues, Report Claims

Whole Foods' '365' Chicken Sourced from Perdue Plants with Salmonella Issues, Report Claims

A new report by the animal advocacy group Farm Forward alleges that Whole Foods' private-label '365' brand chicken, sold at a premium, originates from Perdue Farms plants that also supply discount retailers like Walmart and Kroger. The investigation, which analyzed 247 raw chicken packages from 30 Whole Foods stores, found that 92% of the '365' chicken came from Perdue facilities. Furthermore, 98% of this chicken was processed at plants where a highly virulent strain of salmonella was present in the raw meat. The report also suggests that the meat may contain antibiotic-resistant strains of salmonella, despite both Perdue and Whole Foods' policies against antibiotic use. Farm Forward claims that three of the six Perdue slaughter plants failed government standards for salmonella contamination over the past year. Whole Foods charges significantly more for its '365' chicken, averaging nearly 20% more per pound and up to 45.7% more than mainstream grocery chains for what the report implies is the same product.

U.S. Comfort Foods Predominantly Hyperpalatable and Processed, Study Reveals

U.S. Comfort Foods Predominantly Hyperpalatable and Processed, Study Reveals

A recent study on U.S. comfort foods indicates that nearly three-quarters of these popular choices meet the criteria for being hyperpalatable, meaning they are highly appealing due to specific combinations of fat, sugar, and salt. The study, which analyzed 300 distinct foods grouped into 132 broader categories, found that the nutritional profile of these foods leaned heavily towards processed options. Chips, ice cream, pizza, chocolate, and cookies topped the list of preferred comfort foods. The average serving contained 223 calories, with 39% from fat and 18% from sugar, and most were low in fiber. Ultra-processing was also common, with an average of 57% of calories coming from Nova Group 4 sources, and 43% of foods qualifying as fully ultra-processed.

Creatine Supplementation Shows Promise for Muscle and Strength Retention in Middle-Aged Adults

Creatine Supplementation Shows Promise for Muscle and Strength Retention in Middle-Aged Adults

A 12-week study involving 64 healthy adults aged 45 to 65 investigated the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on body composition and strength. Participants were divided into groups receiving either 10 grams of creatine monohydrate or a placebo daily, with some also engaging in an exercise-and-calorie-deficit program. The study found that creatine users in the non-exercise group gained approximately 2.4 pounds of lean tissue and improved leg press and bench press strength. The most significant benefits were observed in participants who combined creatine with aerobic and resistance exercise three times weekly and a modest calorie deficit, gaining nearly three pounds of lean tissue while losing fat mass. This research suggests that creatine's benefits may extend beyond athletes, offering a strategy for preserving lean tissue as individuals age, even for those not participating in structured training programs, according to ProHealth.com.
