Bloomberg22-07-2025
George Tidmarsh is a millionaire co-founder of a biotech firm, serial entrepreneur, neonatologist and adjunct professor at Stanford University. But his part in creating a fringe medical journal is the role that stands out as he takes a top post at the US Food and Drug Administration.
Tidmarsh, who will lead the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, is at least the fifth person appointed to a federal health agency under the helm of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. this year connected to the Journal of the Academy of Public Health.

Baby Milk Recalled in 9 States, FDA Sets Risk Warning

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A recent recall of human donor milk distributed across nine states has been classified as the second-highest risk level—of three—by food inspectors. The milk was voluntarily recalled by Columbus-based nonprofit Ohio Health Mother Milk Bank on July 14 after an inaccurate temperature reading from a thermometer on one pasteurization machine. The recall affects a total of 5,735 bottles of milk distributed in Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont and West Virginia, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said. FDA inspectors issued a Class II status on August 4, indicating a possibility of temporary or reversible health issues, or a remote chance of serious consequences. Newsweek contacted Ohio Health's media team via email on Tuesday. Stock photo shows a bottle of milk displayed in front of a sleeping baby.

Getty Images Why It Matters The recall highlights recurring public health concerns surrounding safety and labeling of vital products intended for infants and medically vulnerable populations. FDA recall classifications are directly linked to the potential health consequences, with a Class II status indicating a possibility of temporary or medically reversible health issues, or only a remote chance of serious consequences, should consumers use the implicated product. What To Know Many mothers rely on donated or purchased human donor milk when not producing enough milk or when parents have adopted. It is also often given to premature or low birth weight infants. The recall affects: 4,006 units of OH MMB Human Donor Milk, 20.00 Cal/oz., 1.00 g/dl. Protein, packaged in 3 oz. plastic bottles And 1,729 units of OH MMB Human Donor Milk, 20.00 Cal/oz., 0.80 g/dl. Protein, packaged in 6 oz. plastic bottles The FDA said in its August 4 classification update that exact concentration of protein can vary. Affected customers in the nine states are advised to check any recently received milk bank products for recall status and contact the Ohio Health Mother Milk Bank or their state health department for further instruction. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has three risk categories for food recalls. They are described on the agency's website as follows: "Class I—a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. "Class II—a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. "Class III—a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences." What Happens Next The donor milk recall remains active and listed as ongoing by the FDA as of August 5. Subsequently, consumers in the affected states are urged not to use the recalled products and to consult with relevant health providers regarding possible exposure. If you are interested in donating your breast milk to Ohio Health, call (614) 566-0630 or email MilkBank@ to begin the donor screening process.

Jim Cramer Highlights Microsoft's $4 Trillion Moment and AI-Driven Strength

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer spoke about. During the episode, Cramer discussed the company's recently posted strong earnings. He said: 'What should it have been about? Well, how about Microsoft? How about Meta? Nope. They were overshadowed by the Fig-Man Carnival. It was all anyone talked about down here. Call me old-fashioned, but I really wanted the market today to be defined by those earnings reports from two tech titans. I'm talking about Microsoft, briefly a $4 trillion company today, before closing just below that level, and Meta at just under $2 trillion. I wanted these to be foundational… Pixabay/Public Domain Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) provides software, cloud services, devices, and AI-driven tools across productivity, business applications, and personal computing.

Jim Cramer Questions Spotify's Latest Numbers

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:SPOT) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer spoke about. A caller asked if the stock is a buy or hold given that the economy seems to be faltering. In response, Cramer said: 'I was so mystified by Spotify. That was a really not great number. I don't get it. I don't know what happened. I can't own the stock until I figure out what the heck happened.' Photo by Norbert Buduczki on Unsplash Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) provides audio streaming services through subscription and ad-supported models, providing access to a vast catalog of music and podcasts. Cramer suggested buying the stock during a June episode: 'My confidence in subscription model extends to Spotify. This incredible company dominates the podcast business and the music business, and of course, the new high list. It's roaring right now, but it does have periodic moments of underperformance, and that's when you gotta snap it up [buy, buy, buy].'
