Over 50,000 pounds of charcuterie-style sausage recalled over listeria contamination

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — Before you start on that charcuterie board, check your meats to ensure they’re safe to consume.

Over 50,000 pounds of ready-to-eat sausage products were recalled Sunday due to possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced.

The agency’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, along with Daniele International LLC, a Rhode Island-based food manufacturer, announced that the recall affected nearly 52,914 pounds of products, which “may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes.”

“FSIS discovered the problem during routine inspection activities where Listeria monocytogenes was found on surfaces in which the product came into contact,” the recall stated.

The affected products were produced on dates spanning from May 23, 2022 through Nov. 25, 2022, and were shipped to retailers nationwide through Jan. 17, 2023, FSIS announced.

Eight SKUs under various brand labels are subject to the recall and bear the establishment number “EST. 54” inside the USDA mark of inspection, according to the agency:

– 6-ounce plastic tray of “FREDERIK’S by meijer SPANISH STYLE charcuterie sampler tray” with sell by date 4/15/23.

– 6-ounce plastic tray of “Boar’s Head CHARCUTUERIE TRIO” with sell by dates 4/13/23, 4/14/23, and 4/15/23.

– 7-ounce plastic tray of “COLAMECO’S PRIMO NATURALE GENOA UNCURED SALAMI” with sell by date 12/23/23.

“FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” Sunday’s recall announcement stated.

As of time of publication, USDA officials said there had been “no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.”

“Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider,” the recall added.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeria can cause severe illness “when the bacteria spread beyond the gut to other parts of the body” after a person consumes contaminated food.

“Listeria is especially harmful if you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system due to certain medical conditions or treatments,” the CDC states. “If you are pregnant, it can cause pregnancy loss, premature birth, or a life-threatening infection in your newborn. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.”

Those at lower risk of severe illness can experience “mild food poisoning symptoms like diarrhea and fever, and usually recover without treatment,” the CDC adds.

ABC News’ Good Morning America has reached out to Daniele International LLC for comment on the recall.

The line Scotty McCreery’s wife loves in “It Matters to Her”

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

“It Matters to Her” is Scotty McCreery‘s sixth top 25 hit in a row. In fact, his five previous hits have all topped the chart, starting with 2017’s “Five More Minutes.”

But this one in particular is a nod to his wife, Gabi, whom he married in 2018. Last October, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Avery.

“This was a song that I loved writing, and I love the message behind it,” Scotty says of the latest single from his album Same Truck. “And when I first got the demo back, I was in the gym.”

“And I typically have a playlist going for the gym,” he continues, “but I just listened to this one on repeat for like 20 times before I was done. I was like, ‘Man, I really love it. Gotta get it on the record!'”

As you might expect, Mrs. McCreery is a fan of the song, too.

“I played it for Gabi and she loved it, as well,” Scotty recalls. “She particularly liked one line and that was the ‘shut up and listen to what she has to say’ line. She was like, ‘Now that’s a winner right there!’ So she did love the song for sure.”

Scotty’s currently on the Damn Strait Tour, named for his previous #1. Later this year, he hits the road with Brooks & Dunn on the Reboot trek.

Paramore earns first #1 on ’Billboard’ Alternative Airplay with “This Is Why”

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Paramore has a #1 hit on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart for the first time.

“This Is Why,” the comeback single from Hayley Williams and company, has reached the top spot on the ranking this week, ending the 13-week reign of Blink-182‘s “Edging.”

Paramore previously peaked on Alternative Airplay at #3 with their 2007 breakout single “Misery Business,” which was also the band’s first-ever entry on the chart.

Paramore waited 15 years, six months and one week between their debut appearance and their first #1 on Alternative Airplay, the longest such gap since Stone Temple Pilots took 17 years and two weeks to hit #1 in 2010 with “Between the Lines” after first charting in 1993 with “Plush.”

“This Is Why” is the title track and lead single off Paramore’s upcoming sixth album, the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s After Laughter. The record, which also includes the songs “The News” and “C’est Comme Ça,” arrives February 10.

GloRilla on changes following mainstream fame, upcoming Grammys

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

A lot has changed for GloRilla in the past few months, including some of the people around her. In a recent interview with The Cut, she explained the effect her higher income has had on some of her past bonds.

“Me blowing up changed a lot,” she said. “Money change the people around you.”

“It don’t change you, per se,” she continued. “It fasho change people around you, though.”

GloRilla’s way of dealing with some of the differences she’s seen in some people is to sever ties with them. Speaking to the outlet, she said, “I don’t got a problem cutting people off, and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But I have no problem cutting people off once I see what type of stuff they be on.”

“They just got to go. Because it ain’t no room for that no more,” she continued. “I’m on a whole ’nother level now, and if you’re still on bullsh**, then I just don’t want to talk to you.”

GloRilla’s claim to mainstream fame started with the success of her viral song “F.N.F (Let’s Go),” which went viral on TikTok and landed on “best of” lists for 2022. She’s since released songs like “Tomorrow 2” featuring Cardi B and has been nominated for awards, including one at the 2023 Grammys.

Though she’s “trying to slowly get myself to liking the red carpet” and describes herself as “not a good picture-taker,” GloRilla says she’s excited to attend music’s biggest night.

“I’m super-excited and super-nervous because a lot of people don’t get to go to the Grammys, you know what I’m saying?” she expressed. “But I’m just super grateful. And it happened to me superfast. I’m still taking it all in.”

Slipknot’s ‘Iowa’ helped original Papa Roach drummer discover Bell’s palsy diagnosis

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Not only is Slipknot‘s Iowa considered one of the biggest and most influential albums of the 2000s metal scene, apparently it can also help identify certain medical conditions.

Speaking with Revolver, Knot turntablist Sid Wilson recalls when he played Iowa for Papa Roach‘s original drummer, Dave Buckner, before it first came out. Upon listening to it, Buckner had a reaction that Wilson was very much not expecting.

“[Buckner] comes up on the bus and I think we were into maybe the third track,” Wilson remembers. “And I just watched his face and he started getting uneasy, and he’s looking around at the ground and stuff. And then he looks up and I’m looking at him, and his face collapses. One whole side of his face. And it drooped out like when you have a seizure.”

Wilson adds that Buckner’s “whole face collapsed and it just stayed down there.”

“His eye, everything,” Wilson shares. “The music collapsed his face.”

Upon seeing Wilson’s interview, Buckner reached out to Revolver to explain what had really happened to him.

“[Slipknot] played us the album in the mixing room with the volume cranked to 11,” Buckner says. “I left the room with my ears ringing, and when I woke up the next day and the left side of my face was hanging off my skull, totally paralyzed! I thought I had a stroke during the night!”

During an emergency visit to the doctor, Buckner found out he had Bell’s palsy, a nerve disorder that can cause paralysis in the face.

“Causes can include blunt force trauma, extremely loud noise, and, apparently, Slipknot!” Buckner says. “Slipknot music literally melts faces.”

Wyn Starks on the impact of “Who I Am”: “It reminds me why I do this”

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

While TikTok can give older songs new life, that’s not the reason Minneapolis native Wyn Starks is seeing his 2020 song “Who I Am” climbing the radio airplay charts now. While it’s had a slow and steady build, Wyn says it’s connecting with people in 2023 because he sang it on America’s Got Talent last year.

“Of course, when you write music, you want it to have an impact, y’know? But I had no idea it would have this kind of impact,” he tells ABC Audio. “And one thing I also didn’t realize is how it would help people through grief.”

When Wyn sang it on AGT, he connected it to the passing of his twin brother.

“It was one of my twin brother’s favorite songs of mine. And so when I sang it on AGT to honor him … I had no idea the new life that it would take on,” Wyn says. “I’m having so many people hit me up, saying how it’s helping them get through … losing a loved one.”

Wyn, who did his first headlining tour last year, says his audience was made up of people who saw him on AGT; people who were already aware of him and his 2021 album, Black Is Gold; and people who’ve simply heard “Who I Am” on the radio.

“Then they go to the AGT audition, so they get to hear more of the story behind it,” he says.

Wyn actually wrote the song about his “journey in becoming … the artist I am, the person I am.” He says fans “who are just coming into theirselves” are finding it helpful, too.

As he says, “To hear those stories … it’s healing for me and then it reminds me why I do this.”

Graham Nash shares the “magic” of working with David Crosby

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Graham Nash is once again looking back fondly on his musical partnership with the late David Crosby, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 81.

Nash shared a classic photo of him and Crosby recording in the studio, writing, “I’ve been hesitant to share photos of us in the past. People leave such nasty comments sometimes that belittle the complexities of a long-term friendship and musical partnership.”

He adds, “But here is a photo of David and I recording in 1971. There was real magic between us. That much I know.”

And their Crosby, Stills & Nash singing partner Stephen Stills agrees, commenting on the photo, “Magic, indeed.” Nash responded, “You’re such a big part of that magic, Stephen.”

Nash has paid tribute to Crosby several times since his bandmate’s death, previously sharing he was “grateful to have sung with him, played with him, butted heads with him, and for going through so much together,” adding, “It’s his beautiful music that will live forever in all of our hearts. I’m just lucky to have known him.”

‘The Bachelor’ recap: A former contestant tries to move in on Zach

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Monday’s The Bachelor saw one of Bachelor nation’s legendary bad girls try and force her way into the competition.

Zach changed things up on Monday’s episode, deciding that all 20 remaining women would get to go on a date with him, and offering all of them a chance to either have their first conversation with him, or build on the ones they already had.

The first group date, hosted by “Big Energy” hitmaker Latto, challenged nine of the ladies to channel their “bad b**** energy,” with the help of three of Bachelor Nation’s baddies: Tahzjuan Hawkins, Victoria Fuller, and Courtney Robertson.

The date took an unexpected turn when Tahzjuan crashed the afterparty to ask him if she could add herself to the mix. Zach, caught totally off guard, told her he needed to think about it.

Needless to say, the other women were not pleased when Tahzjuan broke the news to them. Following another private conversation between Zach and the Bachelor season 23 alumna, the ladies were relieved to hear Zach say that he turned down her request. Katherine, the registered nurse from Tampa, Florida got the date rose.

Elsewhere, a one-on-one with Christina Mandrell, a content creator and the niece of country legend Barbara Mandrell, featured a helicopter ride to Zach’s hometown to meet his family, followed by a romantic candlelit dinner where Christina revealed that she had a five-year-old daughter. He admitted that the whole thought of having an instant family was “scary,” she shouldn’t stress over it and offered her the date rose.

Zach kept the second group date simple, with a cocktail party to ensure that he got to talk to all the ladies ahead of the rose ceremony. Jess, a 23-year-old Winter Springs, Florida native, snagged the date rose.

Following the rose ceremony, New York City dancer Cat, Kimberly, a hospitality manager from Los Angeles, and Victoria J., a makeup artist from Fort Worth were sent home.

Here are the 20 women remaining after Monday night’s episode:

Aly, 26, a healthcare strategist from Atlanta, Ga.
Anastasia, 30, a content marketing manager from San Diego, Calif.
Ariel, 28, a marketing executive from New York City, N.Y.
Bailey, 27, an executive recruiter from Nashville, Tenn.

US skier Kyle Smaine killed in avalanche in Japan

January 31, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — Kyle Smaine, a U.S. professional skier who was the halfpipe gold medalist in the 2015 world championships, died Sunday in an avalanche in Japan, according to his wife and a fellow skier who was also caught in the snow.

Smaine, 31, was in Nagano over the weekend for a marketing trip for Ikon Pass and Nagano Tourism when the avalanche took place on Mount Hakuba Norikura, according to a blog post by the skiing news site Mountain Gazette.

Pro skier and Mountain Gazette correspondent Adam Ü was also at the resort along with Mountain Gazette photographer Grant Gunderson, who was the photographer on the marketing trip, according to the site.

Ü told the Mountain Gazette that the three of them were going out to ski during the last day of their trip on Sunday.

“We had no camera gear with us. We were going out for fun,” he told the site.

Gunderson went back to the resort when Ü and Smaine went for a second lap and were joined by a group of Austrian skiers.

Ü and Smaine were at the bottom of the mountain and were transitioning their backcountry gear back into uphill mode, when the avalanche started as some of the Austrian skiers were coming down the mountain, according to Ü.

“We heard the crack. We realized it is a big one. We started running and then we got hit,” Ü told Mountain Gazette.

Ü said he was buried 1.5 meters deep for approximately 25 minutes before rescuers came to his aid. Luckily, he said he was left unscathed.

Ü explained that rescuers did find Smaine, but he was unresponsive.

The cold weather and other factors have hampered search and rescue efforts for the 13 people who were caught in the avalanche, according to Nagano authorities.

Later Sunday night, Smaine’s wife Jenna Dramise posted a tribute to her husband on her Instagram page hours after the avalanche.

“I’m so incredibly thankful that I got to marry you and have you in my life. You loved skiing more than anyone I’ve ever met,” she said.

Dramise said she and Smaine married in November and had been together since 2010.

Smaine competed professionally for years in many competitions, including the X Games, and won a gold medal in halfpipe at the FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships 2015.

Smaine posted a video to his Instagram page Saturday before the tragic accident showing a first-person video of him skiing in Nagano.

“Unbelievable snow quality, non-stop storms, and really fun terrain that seems to get better the more exploring you do,” he wrote in the Instagram post.

Many pro skiers expressed their remorse for Smaine online following the news of his passing. David Wise dedicated his X Games gold medal win in Men’s Ski SuperPipe Sunday night in Smaine’s memory.

“We all did this for Kyle tonight. It’s a little bit of an emotional day for us. We lost a friend, but I’m glad I can take one home for him,” he said.
