Walmart's 'honey roasted' cashews have been recalled in 30 US states and online due to undeclared coconut and milk, posing a potentially fatal risk for those with allergies. The FDA warns of the risk of anaphylaxis and urges consumers to discard the product. The recall was initiated voluntarily by the nut supplier, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., and no adverse reactions have been reported. Customers can return the product for a full refund and contact the supplier for further inquiries.
Magic pie is a unique dessert that forms three distinct layers from a single batter. The recipe typically includes milk, sugar, flour, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. As the pie bakes, the mixture solidifies, with some parts sinking to the bottom and others rising to the top. The result is a delicate crust, a soft custard middle, and a chewy, cakey top layer. Coconut is a popular flavor and adds a toasty crunch. Variations include changing the custard flavor, adding cocoa powder or lemon zest, and incorporating shredded coconut or canned fruit.

A recent study by Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences found that certain bath soaps, such as Dial, Dove, Native, and Simple Truth, make people more attractive to mosquitoes. However, soaps containing coconut, which have certain fatty acids, were found to repel mosquitoes. While the study had a small sample size, it suggests that switching to a soap with coconut could potentially make a difference in deterring mosquitoes. It is still recommended to follow CDC guidelines for mosquito protection.
Researchers from Virginia Tech found that certain soaps can make people more or less attractive to mosquitoes. The study involved four volunteers who were tested with different soap scents to determine their attractiveness to mosquitoes. The researchers found that not all soaps have the same effect on all volunteers, and that coconut-scented soaps could reduce attractiveness to mosquitoes. The study also suggests that deodorants, laundry detergents, and other scented products could also play a factor in mosquito attraction.
A small study published in the journal iScience found that the scent of coconut could repel mosquitoes, while citrusy scents known to repel the pesky insects instead appeared to attract them. The study looked at whether different scented soaps made people more or less attractive to mosquitoes and found that the interplay of scents between human bodies and the products they used proved to be much more complicated. The team identified four chemicals that were associated with being slightly more attractive to mosquitoes and three that appeared to repel them, but the results were generally weak and variable for all chemical scents tested except one: coconut.
