Dr Pepper Has Recalled Thousands of Cases of Soda
The Class II recall has a low risk of serious health consequences, but temporary or reversible effects may occur, according to the FDA. To date, no illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported.
While the recall pertains to a large amount of product, the sodas in question were only distributed to retail locations in three states—Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. The affected products were packaged in 12 fl oz. aluminum cans in both 12-pack and 24-pack cartons and have a "best by" date of February 16, 2026 and product code XXXXRS05165.
While the average consumer might not have issues with accidentally consuming these mislabeled products, the error could indeed pose health risks for people with diabetes or anyone with conditions instructed to monitor their sugar intake. A can of regular Dr Pepper contains 39 grams of sugar, while Dr Pepper Zero Sugar, obviously is meant to contain zero. The latter does, however, contain artificial sweeteners and additional ingredients like aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sodium phosphate. Good thing we have a doctor in the house.
All recalled products should either be thrown away or returned to your place of purchase.

FDA warning: Don't eat these potentially radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart
You might want to think twice about buying this brand of shrimp next time you're shopping at Walmart. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to consumers about eating, selling or serving select brands of Great Value frozen raw shrimp due to contamination with a radioactive isotope. U.S. Customs and Border Protection alerted the FDA about the radioactive isotope, Cesium-137, after it was found in shipping containers at four U.S. seaports, according to the FDA. Here's what you need to know about the products that are affected and whether a recall will be imminent. What contaminated shrimp is the FDA warning consumers about? The Frozen Raw Ez Peel Tail-On Farm-Raised White Vannamei Shrimp in 2-pound bags distributed by Indonesia's BMS Foods tested positive for the contamination. The FDA is recommending a recall on certain BMS shrimp products even if they did not test positive. While a recall hasn't been conducted yet, the FDA is working with distributors and retailers 'to recommend' a recall. The following products are affected: Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027 The products were sold in Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia, according to the FDA. What should people do if they have the contaminated raw shrimp? The FDA is advising people who might have raw, frozen shrimp in their freezers from Walmart that matches the descriptions to not cook or consume them. Instead, the agency is asking customers, distributors and retailers to throw the shrimp away. The FDA also says, 'If you suspect you have been exposed to elevated levels of cesium, talk to your healthcare provider.' Consuming food or water contaminated with Cs-137 in low doses over an extended period of time can create an elevated risk of cancer due to a breakdown in DNA in the body's living cells, according to the FDA.

FDA Pushes Back Eylea HD Review; Regeneron Still Gains
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Regeneron (NASDAQ:REGN) picked up gains Tuesday after announcing that the FDA pushed back decision timelines for two key reviews of its high-dose Eylea (aflibercept) injection. The new action dates fall in the fourth quarter of 2025, covering a prior-approval supplement for a prefilled syringe and a label expansion filing to treat macular edema after retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with REGN. The company is also seeking to expand Eylea HD's dosing schedule to every 4 weeks across approved uses a shift from the current 816 week regimen for patients with wet AMD and diabetic macular edema. The extension stems from additional information submitted after an FDA inspection at Catalent Indiana LLC, the third-party manufacturer recently acquired by Novo Nordisk (NVO). The FDA classified the new submission as a major amendment, automatically extending review timelines. Novo Nordisk provided a detailed response earlier this month in an effort to address the agency's concerns. For now, Eylea HD remains available via vial administration, but the delay tempers near-term expectations around label expansion and convenience upgrades. Still, investors seem encouraged, with shares moving higher on confidence the regulator will complete its review later this year.

Walmart recalls frozen shrimp over potential radioactive contamination
Walmart has recalled frozen, raw shrimp sold in 13 states because federal health officials say it could have potential radioactive contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked Walmart to pull three lots of Great Value brand frozen shrimp from stores after federal officials detected Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, in shipping containers and a sample of breaded shrimp imported from Indonesia. The products could pose a 'potential health concern' for people exposed to low levels of Cesium-137 over time, FDA officials said. 'If you have recently purchased raw frozen shrimp from Walmart that matches this description, throw it away,' FDA officials said in a statement. The risk from the recalled shrimp is 'quite low,' said Donald Schaffner, a food safety expert at Rutgers University. Cesium-137 is a byproduct of nuclear reactions, including nuclear bombs, testing, reactor operations and accidents. It's widespread around the world, with trace amounts found in the environment, including soil, food and air. The level detected in the frozen breaded shrimp was far lower than FDA intervention levels. However, the agency said that avoiding potentially contaminated products could reduce exposure to low-level radiation that could lead to health problems over time. The FDA is investigating reports of Cesium-137 contamination in shipping containers and products processed by P.T. Bahari Makmur Sejati, doing business as BMS Foods of Indonesia. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials alerted FDA that they found Cesium-137 in shipping containers sent to U.S. ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, Georgia. FDA officials collected several product samples and detected contamination in one sample of frozen breaded shrimp. The shipping containers and products were denied entry into the U.S. However, the FDA then learned that Walmart had received potentially affected products imported after the first detection, from shipments that did not trigger contamination alerts. Walmart immediately recalled the products, a company spokesperson said. They include Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp with lot codes 8005540-1, 8005538-1 and 8005539-1, all with best-by dates of March 15, 2027. The shrimp was sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. Consumers should discard the products or return them to any Walmart store for refund. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
