Over 6 million eggs have been recalled due to deadly salmonella risk & foodborne illness .


Health officials warn that consuming eggs with these universal product code numbers 860010568507 and 860010568538, along with some whole sale locations, can cause severe illness or death. The states listed on the recall were California, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Texas, and Indiana.


The eggs originated with Black Sheep Egg Company of Arkansas but has since been sold under different brand names, which further complicates the ability for precautions to be taken.


The FDA warns against eating, selling, and serving the eggs


 
 
 

In a surprising move, California has begun rolling back key environmental regulations to allow for faster construction of barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. While border security has long been a topic of national debate, the decision to bypass long-standing environmental protections such as the National Environmental Policy Act & the Clean Water Act, marks a significant shift in policy for a state known for its environmental leadership.

The rollback aims to streamline construction by waiving environmental reviews that would typically assess the impact of large infrastructure projects on local ecosystems.


Critics argue that this move sets a dangerous precedent and could cause irreversible harm to California's fragile borderlands. Construction activities may damage wetlands, disrupt natural water flow, and increase erosion, further threatening biodiversity.


Beyond the immediate ecological damage, environmentalists warn of the broader implications of undermining environmental laws. “When you start waiving regulations in the name of expediency, it becomes easier to do so again in the future—for any project,” said one environmental policy expert. “It erodes the very framework that ensures California’s natural resources are protected.” The rollback could embolden other states or federal entities to seek similar exemptions, weakening environmental oversight nationwide.


California has long positioned itself as a global leader in climate and conservation efforts, so this reversal has sparked concern among environmental groups and some lawmakers. Many see the move as a political compromise that sacrifices the environment for the sake of federal pressure on immigration enforcement. As legal challenges and public outcry mount, the coming months will test whether California can balance border security concerns with its environmental commitments—or whether this rollback marks the beginning of a troubling trend.

 
 
 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued multiple recalls of frozen shrimp—initially targeting Walmart’s Great Value brand and later expanding to products from Southwind Foods such as Sand Bar, Arctic Shores, Best Yet, Great American, and First Street. All pinpointing shrimp originating from Indonesia’s supplier PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS Foods). These recalls were triggered after U.S. Customs detected traces of the radioactive isotope Cesium-137 (Cs-137) in some shipments.


Cancer Risk Even in Low Doses

Though illnesses have not yet been reported, cesium-137 exposure—even at low doses—can increase cancer risk over extended periods by damaging DNA.


FDA Blocks Additional Product Imports Into The U.S.

In response, the FDA has placed BMS Foods under an import alert, blocking additional products from entering the U.S. until the company resolves the issues. Consumers are advised to check for affected lot codes—such as Great Value shrimp with lot codes 8005540-1, 8005538-1, and 8005539-1 (best by date March 15, 2027)—and to discard any matching packages instead of consuming or donating them. Retailers and distributors are similarly urged to dispose of the products and ensure they cease selling them.


This event highlights the critical need for heightened vigilance in the food supply chain—particularly for imported goods—and underscores the importance of robust safety protocols. For consumers, it serves as a reminder to stay informed, promptly discard recalled products, and consult health professionals if there's concern about exposure.
