Today's riddle: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Giunta's Meat Farms Completes Purchase of King Kullen (southshorepress.com) — Giunta's Meat Farms has completed its purchase of Hauppauge-based King Kullen, bringing all 24 King Kullen and four Wild by Nature stores under an Oakdale family grocer with no immediate plans for closures or layoffs. For Hauppauge residents, that means your local King Kullen and its pharmacy should operate as usual while the new owners decide which locations keep the King Kullen name. The future of the Hauppauge headquarters, however, remains undecided.
• Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning Recalled (jewishlink.news) — A Hauppauge-based importer is recalling specific 90-gram containers of Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning (UPC 794711005484, lot GAP11304) due to potentially elevated lead levels, with distribution across New York and several other states. Residents are urged to stop using the product immediately and either discard it or return it for a refund, and to contact the company with any health or recall questions.
• As health costs climb, HR leaders share benefits advice for employers (libn.com) — Rising health insurance premiums are hitting Long Island employers hard, and a Hauppauge-based HR firm is helping small businesses navigate 8% to 12% renewal hikes and complex New York rules. Local companies are weighing PEOs, high-deductible plans, reimbursement accounts, and flexible schedules to stay competitive with larger employers. If you run or work for a Hauppauge business, these choices could directly affect your coverage and paycheck.
