Selective focus on the front mushroom on ladle
In July 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Class I recall—its most serious type—for several mushroom products potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous foodborne bacteria. While no illnesses have been reported, the FDA warns that consuming the recalled mushrooms could cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially among the most vulnerable populations.
🔍 What Products Are Affected?

🦠 What Is Listeria and Why Is This Serious?
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause severe and sometimes deadly infections, especially in:
Newborns Elderly adults Pregnant women (can cause miscarriage or stillbirth) People with weakened immune systems
Symptoms can include:
High fever Headache Stiff neck Nausea and diarrhea Confusion or loss of balance
Because of the high risk of hospitalization or death, the FDA labeled this a Class I recall, reserved only for the most dangerous contamination threats.
✅ What You Should Do
Check your fridge: If you recently bought packaged mushrooms from a supermarket or restaurant supply store in New York, Michigan, or Ohio, double-check the labels. Do not eat the recalled products. Dispose of the mushrooms safely or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. If symptoms of Listeria appear after consuming mushrooms, seek medical attention immediately.
🚨 No Illnesses Yet—But Don’t Wait
While no confirmed illnesses have been linked to these products so far, Listeria symptoms can take days—or even weeks—to appear. This makes early action critical.
🛡️ Food Safety Tips
Always wash hands, utensils, and surfaces after handling raw produce. Cook mushrooms and other vegetables thoroughly to reduce contamination risk. When in doubt, throw it out—especially when there’s a known recall.
Stay informed. Stay safe.
STM Daily News will continue to monitor updates from the FDA and USDA regarding food recalls and public safety alerts.

April 10, 2026 — NASA’s Artemis II crew has safely returned to Earth, marking the successful completion of the first crewed mission to the Moon’s vicinity in more than 50 years.

The Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California at 5:07 p.m. PDT, carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen back home after a nearly 10-day journey through deep space.
🚀 A Mission for the Record Books
During the mission, the crew traveled a total of 694,481 miles, reaching a maximum distance of 252,756 miles from Earth—farther than any humans have ever gone, surpassing the Apollo 13 record set in 1970.
Launched on April 1 aboard NASA’s powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, Artemis II tested critical systems needed for future missions, including life support, navigation, and deep space communication.
🌕 Science, Exploration, and Stunning Views
While orbiting the Moon, the astronauts captured more than 7,000 images, including views of the lunar far side, a rare solar eclipse, and detailed observations of craters, lava flows, and surface features.
The mission also included scientific experiments to better understand how the human body responds to deep space conditions, helping prepare for longer missions to the Moon and Mars.
🛰️ Safe Return and Recovery
Following splashdown, recovery teams quickly reached the spacecraft and transported the crew by helicopter to the USS John P. Murtha for initial medical evaluations. The astronauts are expected to return to NASA’s Johnson Space Center for further assessments.
🌍 What Comes Next
With Artemis II complete, NASA is now turning its focus to Artemis III, the next mission aimed at landing astronauts on the Moon and establishing a long-term human presence.
The success of Artemis II marks a major step forward in humanity’s return to deep space—and the beginning of a new era of exploration.

🕒 [UPDATE] Artemis II Reaches the Moon
Orion has reached lunar proximity, giving astronauts a historic view of the Moon as the spacecraft performs its flyby maneuver.
Artemis II Successfully Launches
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA has successfully launched its Artemis II mission, marking the first crewed journey toward the Moon in more than 50 years.
The powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on April 1, carrying four astronauts on a 10-day mission around the Moon and back.
On board are Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. The mission is already being hailed as a major milestone in NASA’s effort to return humans to deep space.
Shortly after liftoff, the Orion spacecraft successfully reached orbit and deployed its solar arrays, beginning its journey that will eventually send the crew on a translunar trajectory toward the Moon. 
Artemis II is a lunar flyby mission, meaning astronauts will not land but will travel farther from Earth than any human mission in decades while testing critical systems needed for future landings.
The mission also marks several historic firsts, including the first woman and the first person of color—Victor Glover—to travel into lunar space.
NASA says the mission is a key step toward future lunar landings and long-term plans to establish a human presence on the Moon later this decade.
🛰️ Artemis II Mission Timeline
The 10-day Artemis II mission follows a carefully planned trajectory from Earth to the Moon and back:
- Day 1: Launch and Earth orbit
- Day 1–2: Translunar injection burn
- Days 2–4: Deep space travel
- Days 4–5: Lunar flyby
- Days 5–8: Return to Earth
- Days 9–10: Reentry and splashdown
