Signs removed at family business pizza takeaway as building listed for sale
SIGNS have been removed from a family business pizza takeaway in Warrington, as the building is listed for sale.
Signage has been removed in recent weeks on the Don Quattro building, located at Fearnhead Cross on Insall Road.
The business is a sister venue for the ever-popular Donatello Italian restaurant, which opened on Orford Lane in 1996.
Don Quattro opened in spring 2022, due to the success of Donatello takeaways during the Covid pandemic, and it was hoped that this would be the first of a few takeaway venues in the town.
However, the 982 square-foot building has been listed for sale with estate agents Morgan Williams Commercial, with offers in the region of £120,000 considered.
The listing states: 'We are delighted to bring to market this wonderful leasehold business for sale.
'The property is a prominent detached former pizza takeaway, suitable for similar retail trades.
'Inside, the unit is fully refurbished and contains high-quality equipment, which is available for purchase.

Couple goes out for pizza, comes back with $1 million prize
Couple goes out for pizza, comes back with $1 million prize When deciding between pizza or a burger for lunch, one California family might tell you to choose pizza. Northern California man McKinley Nelson, 72, and his wife's craving for the beloved Italian dish paid off massively, with their visit leading them to a $1 million prize, according to the California Lottery. The Yolo County couple visited a Wine & Liquor store, which shares its building with Round Table Pizza, in the city of Winters, located about 40 miles west of Sacramento. Needing some change to tip service, Nelson broke a $100 bill by purchasing two lottery tickets. "I think it was $20, and I went to the truck and started scratching," Nelson told lottery officials in a news release. The retired veteran said he recalls telling his wife: "I think this one's a million, but I'm not sure." The pair proceeded to check their winning ticket through the California Lottery app, which verified he has scored a jackpot prize. 'My wife almost had a heart attack' The pair were in near complete disbelief that their decision to tip became incredibly and instantly profitable. "So, my wife almost had a heart attack," Nelson said. "And then we had to go in and buy the pizza. It was all because of her, she's the one that likes the pizza." McKinley said he has played the California Lottery for 40 years, the news release stated. "It took a long time to win," he quipped. With the money, Nelson said he will pay off his home, save a portion of it and also purchase a camper van, according to the California Lottery. With their new recreational vehicle, they plan drive to visit McKinley's family and even further to see his wife's family. Where can you buy lottery tickets?

FDA looks to AI to enhance efficiency
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The agency plays a central role in pursuing the agenda of the US health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and it has already begun to press food makers to eliminate artificial food dyes. The new road map also underscores the Trump administration's efforts to smooth the way for major industries with an array of efforts aimed at getting products to pharmacies and store shelves quickly. Advertisement Some aspects of the proposals outlined in JAMA were met with skepticism, particularly the idea that AI is up to the task of shearing months or years from the painstaking work of examining applications that companies submit when seeking approval for a drug or high-risk medical device. Advertisement 'I don't want to be dismissive of speeding reviews at the FDA,' said Stephen Holland, a lawyer who formerly advised the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on health care. 'I think that there is great potential here, but I'm not seeing the beef yet.' A major AI rollout closely follows the release of a report by Kennedy's MAHA Commission, which uses an acronym for Make America Healthy Again, that was found to be rife with references to scientific research apparently fabricated by an AI program. For some cases, the FDA officials proposed speeding major drug approvals by requiring only one major study in patients rather than two, a practice the agency has used in recent years. The pandemic provided a precedent, they said, for accelerating the process. 'We believe this is clear demonstration that rapid or instant reviews are possible,' Makary and Prasad wrote. But Holland pointed out that during the pandemic, many staff members were transferred from routine duties, including overseas inspections of food or drug facilities, and reassigned to hasten critical COVID product reviews. The agency was also better staffed. In recent months, the FDA shed about 1,940 employees, reducing the workforce to 8,000 from roughly 10,000. Last week, the agency introduced Elsa, an AI large-language model similar to ChatGPT. The FDA said it could be used to prioritize which food or drug facilities to inspect, to describe side effects in drug safety summaries and to perform other basic product-review tasks. The FDA officials wrote that AI held the promise to 'radically increase efficiency' in examining as many as 500,000 pages submitted for approval decisions. Advertisement Current and former health officials said the AI tool was helpful but far from transformative. For one, the model limits the number of characters that can be reviewed, meaning it is unable to do some rote data analysis tasks. Its results must be checked carefully, so far saving little time. Staff members said the model was hallucinating, or producing false information. Employees can ask the Elsa model to summarize text or act as an expert in a particular field of medicine. Makary said the AI models were not being trained by data submitted by the drug or medical device industry. When it comes to food oversight, Makary and Prasad said there would be a renewed focus on 'our increasingly chemically manipulated diet,' a goal embraced by Republicans and Democrats. 'For all additives,' the article said, 'the benefit-to-harm balance must be reevaluated.' Although the Trump administration is seeking steep cuts in the FDA's budget for the next fiscal year, the food division is expected to receive additional funds. Others noted the fine line agency officials were walking, given Kennedy's complaints that the FDA is too close to the drug industry and the Trump administration's business-friendly approach. Makary and Prasad wrote that the FDA must be 'partners with industry' while avoiding 'a cozy relationship that has characterized the agency in the past.' Dr. Reshma Ramachandran, a director of the Yale Collaboration for Regulatory Rigor, Integrity and Transparency, pointed out that Makary and Prasad were going on a six-city, closed-door listening tour to meet with chief executives of the drug industry. 'How is this guarding the agency 'against a cozy relationship' with industry?' she asked. The FDA priorities 'read as though they're straight out of PhRMA's playbook,' she said, referring to the trade group. Advertisement This article originally appeared in
