Trader Joe's recalls more than 61,000 products over glass hazard
The grocery store chain issued a recall for its 750 mL bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, an imported German product that is sold for around $3.
According to the company's news release, 'certain lot codes may have the potential for cracked/damaged bottles.' The affected lot codes are either 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12 or 024/271/11 24 2027/18/12.
'The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles in the lot codes above,' the news release read.
The bottles were sold from December 27, 2024, to January 28, 2025, in 12 states. The states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
No customers have reported injuries or any damaged bottles, according to the news release.
Trader Joe's has asked customers who have purchased bottles from the affected lots to not use them and to either throw them away or return them to the grocery store chain for a full refund.
Last month, Trader Joe's recalled their Organic Acai Bowls over the concern that the bowls may contain plastic. The grocer recommended throwing away or returning the boxes to a Trader Joe's location for a full refund.
'Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe's Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe's store for a full refund,' the company said.
The recall did not contain information detailing the lot numbers affected or specifying a range of dates when the affected products were produced or sold.
Earlier this week a coffee creamer brand recalled over 75,000 bottles after receiving complaints of 'spoilage and illness.'
Danone, the parent company of International Delight coffee creamer, originally issued a voluntary recall on February 21. On Wednesday, the United States Food and Drug Administration upgraded the recall to its second-highest risk level, a Class II recall.
According to the FDA, a Class II recall means using or being exposed to the product may 'cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.' The recall only applies to two specific flavors of the coffee creamer: 32-ounce bottles of Hazelnut creamer and 32-ounce bottles of Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll. The total number of recalled creamer bottles was 75,054.
Their expiration dates are listed as July 2, 2025, and July 3, 2025, respectively. Both recalled bottles have a producing plant code of 51-4114 R-S.
Thirty-one states received shipments of the creamer bottles: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Hedge funds pile into Ukraine on Trump peace hopes
Hedge funds are piling into companies set to benefit from a Ukraine peace deal after moves by Donald Trump to end the war. Data from Morgan Stanley show that companies poised to benefit from Mr Trump's peace efforts were the most purchased by hedge funds last week. Elite finance is 'salivating' at the profits to be made from peace in Ukraine, fund managers said. As part of the strategy, hedge funds can make a series of bets on a selection of stocks grouped together by Morgan Stanley into a basket called 'Rebuild Ukraine'. These include cement, energy and security companies that would likely be boosted by Ukraine's efforts to rebuild the homes, transport networks and infrastructure assets destroyed during Vladimir Putin's invasion. They include Vinci, the French construction giant; Heidelberg Materials, a German cement maker; and Assa Abloy, a Swedish lock manufacturer; as well as cement groups Holcim, CRH and Buzzi. Last week the 'Rebuild Ukraine' strategy was the most popular bet among global hedge funds tracked by Morgan Stanley after Mr Trump met Putin in Alaska. The data suggests investors now expect Mr Trump's negotiations with Putin will soon see the launch of major reconstruction efforts that could drive a surge in demand for building materials. The World Bank has estimated it will cost $486bn (£360bn) to rebuild all of the buildings and infrastructure assets that have been destroyed in Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of the country three years ago. Harald Berlinicke, a partner at Sarnia Asset Management, said: 'Where there is war, there is opportunity for investors. And the same is the case when a war ends. I know many investors who are salivating at the prospect of peace in Ukraine.' Morgan Stanley predicts that Ukraine currently has capacity to supply the bulk of the materials it needs for its reconstruction efforts. However, it expects Ukraine will be forced to import 14pc of the cement it needs and all of the sheet glass it needs to completely rebuild the homes and infrastructure that has been destroyed. The reconstruction efforts could also be complicated by the fact that the worst destruction of the Ukraine war has all happened in the territories currently being occupied by Russia: Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. Bruno Schneller, a managing partner at Erlen Capital Management, said: 'The eventual reconstruction of Ukraine will involve huge sums flowing into infrastructure, materials and engineering that likely drive a stock market rally in the event of a ceasefire deal.'

UK inflation picks up to hotter-than-expected 3.8% in July
The U.K.'s annual inflation rate hit a hotter-than-expected 3.8%in July, according to data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had anticipated inflation would reach 3.7% in the twelve months to July, after it picked up to 3.6% in June, exceeding forecasts. July core inflation, which excludes more volatile energy, food, alcohol and tobacco prices, rose by an annual 3.8%, up from 3.7% in the twelve months to June. The latest data comes after the Bank of England earlier this month voted by a fine margin to cut interest rates from 4.25% to 4%, as the central bank resumed what it describes as a "gradual and careful" approach to monetary easing. While the BOE was widely expected to trim rates by 25 basis points at the time, traders and economists were keen to see the breakdown of support for the move. In the end, policymakers had to vote twice on the rate cut decision, and a majority of 5-4 opted to cut. BOE policy committee members have had to weigh up sticky inflation with a cooling jobs market and lackluster but slightly recovering growth. GDP data out last week showed a surprise 0.3% expansion in the second quarter. The BOE is watching inflation data closely, after forecasting the consumer price index will peak at 3.8% in September before retreating in the early half of 2026. In Deutsche Bank's estimates, Britain remains "a sliver away" from an annual inflation rate of 4%. "We expect price pressures to soften in the fourth quarter of 2025, however, tracking closer to 3.5% y-o-y [year-on-year] by year-end," Sanjay Raja, senior economist at the German lender, said in emailed comments Friday. "Moreover, we do expect price pressures to ease further next year. On our models, we have headline CPI slipping to just around 2.75% y-o-y in the second quarter of 2026, before landing closer to 2.25% y-o-y in the fourth quarter of 2026. Bigger picture, we think the road to achieving a 2% landing next year is narrowing. Indeed, we see more upside pressures building around our projections," he noted.

DC unemployment rate is the highest in the US for the third straight month
WASHINGTON -- The seasonably adjusted unemployment rate in Washington, D.C., was the highest in the nation for the third straight month, according to new data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. D.C.'s jobless rate reached 6% in July, a reflection of the mass layoffs of federal workers, ushered in by President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, earlier this year. An overall decline in international tourism — which is a main driver of D.C.'s income — is also expected to have an impact on the climbing unemployment rate in the District. Neighboring states also saw an uptick in unemployment rates in July — with Maryland at 3.4% (up from 3.3%) and Virginia at 3.6% (up from 3.5%), according to the state-by-state jobless figures. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, federal workers across government agencies have been either laid off or asked to voluntarily resign from their positions. Those actions have drawn litigation across the federal government by labor unions and advocacy groups. In July, the Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump administration plans to downsize the federal workforce further, despite warnings that critical government services will be lost and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be out of their jobs. The latest D.C. Office of Revenue Analysis figures show that payments made to unemployed federal workers have been climbing month-over-month. In April, unemployed workers received $2.01 million in unemployment payments. By June, that figure reached $2.57 million. The DC Fiscal Policy Institute argues that the federal worker layoffs will exacerbate D.C.'s Black-white unemployment ratio. The latest nationwide unemployment rate according to the BLS is 4.2% — South Dakota had the lowest jobless rate in July at 1.9%. In addition, international tourism, a major source of D.C., to the U.S. is declining. Angered by Trump's tariffs and rhetoric, and alarmed by reports of tourists being arrested at the border, some citizens of other countries are staying away from the U.S. and choosing to travel elsewhere — notably British, German and South American tourists, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. A May report from the organization states that international visitor spending to the U.S. is projected to fall to just under $169 billion this year, down from $181 billion in 2024 — which is a 22.5% decline compared to the previous peak. The latest jobs numbers come after the Republican president and a group of GOP governors have deployed National Guard troops to D.C. in the hopes of reducing crime and boosting immigration enforcement.
