Here is the web story based on the provided broadcast script:

The FDA has issued recalls for Zicam and Orajel products due to concerns about potential fungal contamination of the cotton swabs used in these products. The FDA says the fungi can cause serious and even life-threatening blood infections in people with weakened immune systems.

    The recalled products include:

    Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs Zicam Nasal Allclear Swabs Orajel Baby Teething Swabs

    The FDA advises consumers to immediately stop using these products. It’s important to note that only the products with swabs are potentially affected by the contamination issue.

    A major distributor for United Natural Foods, was hacked. The company had to take some of its systems offline, which temporarily interrupted deliveries of produce, meat and seafood to Whole Foods stores. A Whole Foods spokesman told Reuters the company is working to restock shelves as quickly as possible.

    A new study by the Clean Label Project consumer advocacy group found detectable levels of heavy metals in all 165 snack bars it tested from 50 top-selling brands. Almost 22% had levels higher than those allowed in California. Surprisingly, organic products had on average 28% higher levels of heavy metals than conventional products.

    The study also found that products labeled gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, soy free and dairy free all had higher levels of heavy metals. 37% had higher lead levels than those allowed in California.
