Thousands of ready-to-eat pizza and bread products were recalled over the potential presence of metal fragments, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

North Carolina-based Bakkavor voluntarily initiated the recall on Jan. 19, according to the FDA.

Last week, the health agency classified the alert as a Class II recall, which means “use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

NEARLY 10M POUNDS OF FROZEN FRIED RICE SOLD AT TRADER JOE’S ADDED TO RECALL: USDA

About 23,459 cases of roasted tomato and Parmesan focaccia bread were recalled, sold under brand names such as Frederik’s by Meijer, Harris Teeter, Trader Joe’s and Fresh & Simple. 

Additionally, 2,337 cases of HelloFresh Basil Pesto and Mozzarella Pizza, made up of 15 packages per case, were also recalled.

The recall affects four pizza lot numbers and more than a dozen focaccia bread lot numbers, with use-by dates ranging from April 27 through Oct. 15.

The affected items were distributed in 10 states — Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia.

The food products were also shipped directly to customers through HelloFresh.

Costco is set to debut its first stand-alone gas station this summer in Mission Viejo, California, marking a major expansion of its fuel operations, with a second location in Hawaii slated to open next year.

The California location, located roughly 50 miles from Los Angeles, is expected to open in late June, according to local outlet KABC, citing city officials. It will become the chain’s largest gas station, featuring 40 pumps.

A second location is in the works for Honolulu, Hawaii, in the Kapālama Kai community, according to C-store Dive, citing a spokesperson from private education system Kamehameha Schools, which owns the project.

The move marks a major step for the discount retail giant, whose gas stations at existing warehouse locations have long been plagued by lengthy wait times, heavy traffic and crowded parking lots.

Costco’s Mission Viejo site at 25732 El Paseo will sit on the former location of a Bed Bath & Beyond, which city officials approved for demolition last year to make way for the project. It will neighbor a Krispy Kreme location, a Dairy Queen Chill & Grill and a Jack in the Box.

The project will feature 20 fueling dispensers, equivalent to 40 pumping stations, according to 2025 city planning documents.

Spanning 17,234 square feet, the “fueling canopy” will also house an accessory office and breakroom building for employees, the documents stated.

The new gas station will be open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. exclusively for Costco members, C-store Dive reported.

The two closest existing Costco gas stations — at the Laguna Niguel and Laguna Marketplace warehouses, roughly 2.5 to 3 miles from the planned Mission Viejo site — both list gas at $5.69 per gallon, according to the Costco app.

For the Hawaii location, demolition and preparation of the property began in October 2025 and are ongoing, according to the project’s website.

Oil prices extended gains on Monday, with Brent headed for a record monthly rise, after Yemeni Houthis launched their first attacks on Israel over the weekend, widening the U.S.-Israel war with Iran in the Middle East.

Brent crude futures jumped $3.09, or 2.74%, to $115.66 a barrel by 2353 GMT after settling 4.2% higher on Friday.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate was ‌at $102.56 a barrel, ⁠up $2.92, ⁠or 2.93%, following a 5.5% gain in the previous session.

Brent has soared 59% this month, the steepest monthly jump, exceeding gains seen during the 1990 Gulf War, after the Iran conflict effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit for a fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies.

The war, launched on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, has spread across the Middle East, with ⁠Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis ‌on Saturday launching their first attacks on Israel since the start of the conflict, raising concern about shipping lanes around the Arabian ⁠Peninsula and the Red Sea.

“The conflict is no longer concentrated in the Persian Gulf and around the Strait of Hormuz, but now extends into the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb – one of the world’s most crucial chokepoints for crude and refined product flows,” JP Morgan analysts led by Natasha Kaneva said in a note.
Saudi crude exports re-directed from the Strait of Hormuz to the Yanbu port in the Red Sea reached 4.658 ‌million barrels per day last week, data from analytics firm Kpler showed. If exports from Yanbu were disrupted, Saudi oil would need to pivot toward Egypt’s Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) pipeline to ⁠the Mediterranean, JP Morgan analysts said.

Attacks in the region escalated over the weekend and damaged Oman’s Salalah terminal despite efforts to start ceasefire talks.

Iran said it was ready to respond to a U.S. ground attack, accusing Washington on Sunday of preparing a land assault even as it sought negotiations.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said they had covered possible ways to bring an early and permanent end to the war in the region as well as potential U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad.
