Whether it’s learning how to design Canva templates , editing TikTok videos , baking for online orders , or selling vintage fashion on Instagram , the knowledge required to pull these off isn’t taught in traditional education. At Learning with AL-Mercy , we believe this is a revolution worth watching—and worth being part of.

Rolled Oats Recalled: What You Need to Know


In a recent development, several popular brands of rolled oats have been voluntarily recalled due to potential contamination concerns. The recall has been issued after routine quality checks revealed the possible presence of foreign substances and harmful bacteria such as Salmonella in certain batches. The companies involved are taking swift action to ensure consumer safety.

Details of the Recall

The affected rolled oats were distributed nationwide to grocery stores, online retailers, and food service providers. According to the recall notice, the products may pose a health risk if consumed, especially to young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Some signs of Salmonella infection include:

  • Fever

  • Diarrhea

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Abdominal pain

In rare cases, the infection can become severe and require hospitalization.

Brands and Products Impacted

The recall covers specific packages with "Best By" dates ranging between January and March 2026. Consumers are urged to check their pantries and return or discard any affected products immediately. A full list of recalled brands and product codes is available on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and company websites.

Company Response

The manufacturers have issued public apologies and emphasized their commitment to high standards of quality and safety. They are working closely with the FDA to investigate the source of contamination and to prevent future issues. Retailers have been instructed to remove the recalled products from shelves promptly.

What Should Consumers Do?

  • Check your packaging: Look for the "Best By" dates and product codes provided in the recall alert.

  • Do not consume: If you find a recalled product, do not eat it even if it looks and smells normal.

  • Return or discard: You can either return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or safely dispose of it.

  • Monitor your health: If you have consumed the affected oats and experience symptoms of foodborne illness, seek medical attention.

A Reminder on Food Safety

This recall highlights the importance of food safety monitoring and quick action when potential health risks are detected. While food recalls can be alarming, they also reflect a system that prioritizes consumer protection.

Beyond Phonics: Reviving the Joy of Reading in Primary Schools

 In recent years, phonics has become the backbone of reading instruction in UK primary schools. Rooted in systematic decoding of sounds and letters, phonics has undeniably improved national test scores. But a growing wave of concern, recently amplified by a Guardian feature, questions whether this technical approach is extinguishing what matters most: the love of reading. The Problem with Phonics-Only Instruction Critics argue that the singular focus on phonics reduces reading to a mechanical skill—decoding words without diving into their meaning, emotion, or context. While students might pass phonics screening checks with flying colors, many are not becoming engaged, enthusiastic readers. This "teach to the test" culture, while helpful for benchmarks, overlooks the why behind reading. Reading is not just a skill; it's a window into worlds, experiences, and emotions. If we only teach children to decode, we risk creating proficient readers who don’t read for pleasure—...
