Ohio Amish cheese recall shakes local shelves

Over 5,000 pounds of Amish-made cheese have been pulled from Ohio stores after possible Listeria contamination was found during routine testing. If you’ve picked up Pepper Jack, Horseradish, Monterey Jack, Farmer’s, or White Cheddar cheese from local shops this summer, double-check your fridge—some of these were sold in everyday 8-ounce packs. While no one’s gotten sick yet, Listeria can be serious, especially for pregnant women and older adults. The Amish-run Middlefield Cheese Co-Op acted fast, but the recall is a big deal for both local families and small businesses. Anyone with these cheeses should toss them or return them for a refund. How does this impact your trust in local food producers? #Business #Industry #OhioNews

Legionnaires’ disease cases surge in Ohio

Ohio is seeing a sharp rise in Legionnaires’ disease, with over 300 cases reported this year and nearly all leading to hospital stays. This serious lung infection spreads through contaminated water in air conditioning systems, hot tubs, and even shower heads—especially in large buildings. Older adults, smokers, and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk. The bacteria isn’t passed from person to person, but keeping water systems clean is key to prevention. Have you noticed more health alerts or changes in building maintenance where you live? Let’s talk about how our communities can stay safe. #Health #BodyHealth #OhioNews
