Wegmans frozen chicken nuggets recalled over possible bone fragments
A public health alert was issued for frozen, fully cooked Wegmans breaded chicken breast nuggets by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it is concerned that consumers may still have some of the nugget packages in their freezers. Consumers who still have packages are urged not to eat the product, and to throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption.
Wegmans chicken nugget recall
A typical recall from the agency wasn't issued because the product is no longer for sale.
The alert covers 46 ounce plastic packages containing "Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat" with a best if used by date of Aug. 26, 2025.
That is located on the back of the packaging next to the barcode in the lower right corner. The product was produced on Aug. 26, 2024.
Where did Wegmans recall chicken nuggets?
The nuggets were only made for Wegmans Food Markets and distributed in Massachusetts.
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. were also included in the recall.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it was notified of the issue after Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints of bone fragments in the product.
Wegmans said that all packages can be returned for a full refund.
Customers can contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm or Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Musk Must Face Fraud Lawsuit Over 2024 Election Sweepstakes
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk must face allegations that he defrauded voters when he promised them a chance to win $1 million for signing a petition in the days before the 2024 presidential election. Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Trump Takes Second Swing at Cutting Housing Assistance for Immigrants Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome A federal judge said Wednesday a woman from Arizona can proceed with her claims that she never would have signed Musk's America PAC petition and handed over personal identifying information if she knew she had no chance of winning. She said she believed, based on statements by Musk, that the winners would be picked at random. In fact, they were carefully selected to be spokespeople for Musk's pro-Donald Trump political action committee. US District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas, didn't rule on the merits of Jacqueline McAferty's proposed class-action case, but found that she plausibly alleged she didn't get 'what she bargained for — a random chance to win $1 million.' The district attorney in Philadelphia sued Musk and the PAC about a week before the November election to shut down the sweepstakes as an 'unlawful lottery,' but a judge denied the DA's request to halt the contest. Musk's representatives revealed at the time that the PAC picked registered voters from swing states to be public spokespeople for the committee, often based on their personal stories, and required them to sign employment contracts. In addition to seeking damages for fraud, McAferty can also pursue a breach of contract claim, Pitman said. The judge dismissed her claim under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Lawyers for Musk didn't immediately respond outside regular business hours to requests for comment. Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump and Republicans in 2024, and when Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the election, he turned to Musk, the world's richest person, to lead an effort to slash the size and scope of government.

Gold Holds Gain After Trump Says Fed Governor Cook Should Quit
(Bloomberg) -- Gold held a gain after President Donald Trump's call for a Federal Reserve governor to quit raised fresh concerns about the central bank's independence, bolstering haven demand. Bullion traded above $3,342 an ounce, after gaining nearly 1% following Trump's demand that Lisa Cook resign over a mortgage fraud allegation. Should she quit, it would give the president an opportunity to appoint a more dovish governor. Still, Cook signaled her intention to remain at the central bank. Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Trump Takes Second Swing at Cutting Housing Assistance for Immigrants Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Looking ahead, traders will listen to Chair Jerome Powell's keynote speech on Friday at the annual Jackson Hole gathering for clues about forthcoming decisions. Traders expect the Fed to cut interest rates by at least 25 basis points next month, which would be positive for gold as it doesn't pay interest. The minutes from Fed policymakers' meeting last month showed that officials highlighted inflation risks as outweighing concerns over the labor market. The precious metal has rallied by more than a quarter this year, although the bulk of its advance was registered in the opening four months, when prices set a record. The metal has been supported by central-bank buying and inflows into exchange-traded funds, and many analysts including UBS Group AG's weath-management arm have made the case that there's scope for further gains. 'Prices will remain elevated in the coming weeks as the market braces for a US Fed rate cut in September,' Fitch Solutions' BMI unit said in a note. 'We expect gold to trade between $3,200 to $3,600 an ounce for the rest of 2025.' Gold was little changed at $3,342.40 an ounce at 9:00 a.m. in Singapore. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index steadied.

Dollar drifts as investors ponder Fed independence ahead of Powell speech
By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar drifted on Thursday as investors fretted about the Federal Reserve's independence after yet another attack from President Donald Trump ahead of remarks from Chair Jerome Powell later this week that could influence the outlook for rates. Trump called on Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign on the basis of allegations made by one of his political allies about mortgages she holds in Michigan and Georgia, intensifying his effort to gain influence over the U.S. central bank. Cook said she had "no intention of being bullied to step down" from her position at the central bank. Trump has also told aides he is considering trying to fire Cook, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. "It has the potential to raise questions around the Fed's oversight and regulatory functions but it has little to no near-term monetary policy implications," said Prashant Newnaha, senior Asia-Pacific rates strategist at TD Securities. That explained the relatively muted reaction in the currency markets to the news as the dollar initially dipped on the news but was mostly calm into the Asian session. The Japanese yen held onto gains made in previous sessions and was little changed at 147.41 per dollar, while the euro was steady at $1.1642. Sterling last fetched $1.34535. That left the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other peers, steady at 98.301. Trump has repeatedly criticised Powell for being too slow to cut rates, stoking investor worries about the central bank's independence and its credibility. Investors expect Trump will replace Powell with a more dovish appointment when his term ends in May. Trump earlier this month said he would nominate Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Miran to serve out the final few months of a vacant Fed seat after Adriana Kugler unexpectedly resigned. Kristina Clifton, a senior economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney, said if Cook resigns it would create another opening for Trump to appoint a Fed Governor who will vote to lower interest rates. "Perceived political interference in the Federal Reserve can undermine its independence, steepening the yield curve and denting the USD's safe haven status." POWELL SPEECH The main focus this week has been on whether Powell will push back against market expectations for a rate cut at the Fed's September 16-17 meeting when he speaks on Friday at the Jackson Hole meeting, following a weak jobs report for July. "Markets are adamant that recent labour market data necessitates some policy calibration and are expecting Chair Powell to tip his hat in that direction," TD's Newnaha said. Traders are pricing in an 82% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut next month, CME FedWatch tool showed. While the odds have lowered from last week after hotter than expected producer price inflation tempered expectations, investors are still pricing in over 50 bps of easing this year. Some analysts cautioned that markets could end up being disappointed by Powell's speech, noting that the impact of Trump's tariffs on inflation remains uncertain. "It is not clear that Powell will deliver strong guidance," said Benoit Anne, managing director in the investment solutions group at MFS Investment Management. If the dovish signals elude us, there will be significant pricing out of the odds for a September cut." In other currencies, the New Zealand dollar was nursing steep overnight losses at $0.58205 after diving 1.2% to its lowest level since April. New Zealand's central bank cut interest rates on Wednesday as expected but left the door wide open to yet more easing if needed. The Australian dollar eased 0.13% to $0.64245, hovering near a two-week low. [AUD/]
