Foody News — Week of August 7, 2026

This Week in Food · August 7, 2026

Happy weekly Foody News, friends! 🍳 From spicy sauce comebacks to egg recalls worth a fridge check, here's everything that matters in food this week.

The Big Three

McDonald's Mighty Hot Sauce Is Finally Back

After a five-year absence, McDonald's Mighty Hot Sauce is returning to menus — and fans who never stopped asking for it are ready. If you love a bold, spicy kick with your nuggets, consider this your sign to hit the drive-through.

1.5 Million Eggs Recalled Over Salmonella Risk

Over 1.5 million dozen Texas-produced eggs have been recalled due to possible Salmonella Enteritidis contamination, with hospitalizations reported across the US. Check your carton's sell-by date — if it falls between July 20 and August 17, 2026, toss it now.

Froot Loops Is Ditching Artificial Colors Early

WK Kellogg is pulling artificial colors from Froot Loops and its other cereals a full year ahead of schedule — a big clean-label win for the breakfast aisle. If you've got kids or simply care about what's in your morning bowl, this one's worth noticing.

🍯 Honorable Mentions

🍪 Levain Bakery x Crate & Barrel just dropped a bakeware collab so home bakers can finally recreate those legendary giant cookies themselves.

🍫 Feastables x Liquid Death turned a peanut butter cup into a sparkling water, proving chaos food is very much still alive and thriving.

🛒 Kirkland Signature's discontinued chocolate fan-favorite is quietly back on Costco shelves — members say don't sleep on it, it won't last.

🥓 Lay's Smokey Bacon — Canada's most-envied chip flavor — can now be shipped straight to your door, no border crossing required.

🍦 Chobani's 'Zero Sugar' yogurt is facing a revived lawsuit over its allulose content — a reminder that label math isn't always shopper math.
