Hyro, a health tech startup founded at Cornell Tech that is tackling healthcare inefficiencies through voice AI agents, raised $45 million in a recent growth investment round and received several prestigious recognitions.
Hyro arose in 2018 when Israel Krush ’18 and Rom Cohen ’18 teamed up to develop a startup idea for the Cornell Tech Startup Studio course during the final semester of their MBA and master of engineering, respectively. At the time, Alexa and Google Home Speaker were just taking off but offered only basic functions such as playing a song and setting an alarm.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2025 – Maître Saladier Inc. in Quebec, Canada, is recalling approximately 6,000 pounds of Lorraine Quiche products containing pork that were not presented for import reinspection into the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The Lorraine Quiche items were produced on April 9, 2025, and April 17, 2025. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
The products subject to recall do not bear a USDA mark of inspection. The affected products bear expiration dates of April 8, 2028, and April 16, 2028. The affected products were shipped to distributors in Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, and Texas.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS import surveillance activities. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness or injury should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumer refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
