Salmonella outbreak linked to flour is over, CDC says, but consumers should still check for recalled bags

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

(CNN) — A salmonella outbreak that was linked to Gold Medal flour is over, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. However, consumers should still make sure they don’t have any recalled bags of flour at home.In late April, General Mills recalled certain 2-, 5- and 10-pound bags of Gold Medal Bleached and Unbleached All-Purpose Flour with use-by dates of March 27 and 28, 2024. The CDC says data showed that some Gold Medal flour was contaminated with Salmonella infantis bacteria that was responsible for at least 14 infections in 13 states. Nearly all of the patients interviewed reported eating raw dough or batter, and all of those who recalled the flour brand identified Gold Medal.A US Food and Drug Administration investigation identified a single production facility for the flour that the sick people used, and an inspection of the General Mills facility in Kansas City, Missouri, turned up a sample with the outbreak strain of the bacteria.“Although this outbr...

Pharma reform: Patients can’t afford to wait. Act now.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

As EU health ministers convene for their meeting on June 13 2023 they have been asked by the Presidency to consider: What measures on EU level do we need in your view to ensure equitable access to medicines to all patients in EU? What do you consider as important elements in order to ensure a highly competitive and innovative pharmaceutical industry in EU for the benefit of EU citizens? These two questions have been central to the revision of the EU’s pharmaceutical legislation. And across the innovation community, from large research-based pharmaceutical companies, to contract research organizations and biotech SMEs, there is growing concern that the raft of proposals in the Commission’s draft text will fail to have an impact on access for patients and cost Europe dearly in lost competitiveness, research, investment, jobs and growth.  The views of the health ministers will be key. Many of the competencies that impact on faster, more equitable access to medi...

Eurozone fell into recession as energy prices soared

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

The eurozone confounded previous forecasts and shrank for two consecutive quarters, figures on Thursday showed, as energy shocks, Russia’s war in Ukraine, inflation, and monetary tightening gnawed at growth momentum over the winter.Data showed the 20-nation currency area wasn’t able to dodge a recession — albeit a very shallow one for now — making politicians’ sense of optimism about the eurozone’s economic resilience to such challenges look premature.GDP shrank by 0.1 percent over the first three months of 2023, according to the revised data from Eurostat, the EU’s statistics office. The news was made worse by its revision of the last quarter of 2022 — to a contraction of 0.1 percent, having previously forecast 0 percent. A recession is defined as two successive quarters of contraction. The figures make difficult reading for governments battling Europe’s cost-of-living crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion and resulting soaring energy prices, and heap pressu...

Britain’s political parties are quietly raking in millions. No one will say where it’s coming from

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

LONDON — What connects a Lancashire manor house, several exclusive dining clubs, and a bronze sculpture of David Cameron on a bicycle? The answer is millions of pounds in opaque donations to Britain’s political parties.This is the weird world of “unincorporated associations” — shadowy groups which constitute one of the least-regulated and most-poorly understood aspects of British election finance. Jess Garland, of campaign group the Electoral Reform Society, said they represent a “dangerous loophole in our political financing rules.”In the past five years alone, donations to British political parties from these little-known entities have surpassed £14 million — a sum almost equivalent to the ruling Conservative Party’s entire outlay during its triumphant 2019 election campaign. British political parties are generally required to be open about how and where they raise their cash. Yet unincorporated associations remain an enormous transparency black...

Cool, Some Smoke, Some Showers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

While mostly cloudy skies and a few spotty showers/sprinkles drifted through the skies yesterday, the big story across the Northeast U.S. was the amount of smoke in the air. While the amounts of smoke were modest in central and eastern Mass, western Mass, CT, and certainly down near NYC, saw very unhealthy levels of air quality and reduced visibility thanks the heavy smoke in the air. This morning, the air quality is worse the farther south and west you go. That will tend to be the case through the day, but from time to time, enough smoke mixes in to produce unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups, but we won’t be seeing the Mars like views they had over New York yesterday. What we will see later today, are a few spotty showers popping up from time to time as highs hold in the 60s. Certainly cool for early June, but not as cold as the past weekend. Pop-up showers and storms are a bit more widespread tomorrow with highs again in the 60s. Keep the umbrella handy midday into ...
