South Central Health District

11/04/2026

Governor Ned Lamont has proclaimed November 3 as One Health Day in Connecticut. This day recognizes the collaborative efforts of multiple health and social science professions working locally, nationally, and globally in an approach rooted in a simple idea: the health of people, animals, and the environment we share is closely linked. The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), the Connecticut Department of Agriculture (DoAg), and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) join in this celebration to highlight the shared work that keeps Connecticut healthy.

🚨Product Alert 🚨 FDA Advises Consumers Not to Buy or Serve Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars.

The FDA has received several reports that describe toddlers (ages 1.5–2.5 years) suffering complete airway obstruction with the inability to breathe after consuming the product. When chewed, the product reportedly forms a dry, sticky mass that standard choking interventions — including back blows and the Heimlich maneuver — may fail to dislodge. Some reported choking incidents have required emergency response intervention and hospital observation.

This product is sold nationwide online and at stores, including Costco, Target, and Walmart. This product may be sold elsewhere, such as Amazon.com and other third-party vendors.
