Major Recall Issued for High-Protein Breakfast Staple
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is announcing a major recall for liquid egg products.
According to the agency, Michigan-based Cargill Kitchen Solutions is recalling approximately 212,268 pounds of liquid egg products that "may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite.
The agency's Food Safety and Inspection Service shared that the liquid egg items were produced on March 12 and 13 from Egg Beaters' liquid egg substitute and Bob Evans' Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites cartons. The products subject to recall bear establishment number "G1804" ink-jetted on the carton.
While the agency says "there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," it is warning consumers and restaurants to immediately dispose these products and not to serve them to customers. There's concern that some products may already be in consumer or foodservice refrigerators or freezers.
"These items were shipped to distributor locations in Ohio and Texas and for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa," a USDA statement read. "There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide."
The agency says the problem was discovered when it "received a tip about the potential contamination of these products."
The affected products have the following labels:
32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE' and USE BY AUG 10 2025.
32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE' and USE BY AUG 09 2025.

(2-lb.) carton containing 'Bob Evans Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites' and USE BY AUG 10 2025.The recall comes amid soaring egg prices, which rose more than 10 percent in February, and 15.2 percent in January, prompting President Donald Trump to tell Americans to "shut up about egg prices."

Obama's doctor says Biden's physician should have given him cognitive tests
Former President Joe Biden's doctor should have given him more cognitive tests, according to the doctor of former President Barack Obama. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as Obama's doctor between 2009 and 2013, told the New York Post on Saturday that Biden and any politician over the age of 70 should be given "a few hours" of annual mental exams that should be accessible to the public. 'My position is that a 78-year-old candidate, Trump at the time, an 82-year-old president [Biden] would both benefit from neurocognitive testing,' Kuhlman said. He went on to say that "any politician over the age of 70 has normal age-related cognitive decline," and pointed out that he's been recommending annual mental exams for more than a year. Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, oversaw three physicals for the president during his time in office, but Kuhlman says the physical reports did not include notes from a neurocognitive specialist. He also pointed out that Biden did not take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which Donald Trump agreed to take during his first term. That test is a two-minute screening test of about 30 questions that probes for signs of dementia, according to Kuhlman. Obama's doctor said that he had "no doubts" that Trump "aced" the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, but said he believes that the White House should also release the CT scans taken after Trump's attempted assassination last year. While the Montreal test is able to detect some basic signs of dementia, the doctor noted that it wasn't adequate for determining more serious cognitive issues. According to Kuhlman, mental processing speed and spacial visualization all begin to decline around the age of 60. Kuhlman said he respected O'Connor's medical judgement, but added that "sometimes those closest to the trees miss the forest." O'Connor told the New York Post in July 2024 — just days after the then-president announced he would not run for re-election — that Biden's cognitive health was "excellent." Then-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted to the public that Biden didn't "need a cognitive test" because he "passes a cognitive test every day." She has since decided to leave the Democratic Party and write a tell-all book about her time in the White House, earning her a savaging by some Democrats. Visitor logs to the White House show that Biden did submit an evaluation form to an expert in Parkinson's Disease, but O'Connor said that the meeting was part of Biden's annual physical. Kuhlman says that the doctor who evaluated Biden in that visit, Kevin Cannard, had been evaluating Biden for 14 years, and that he trusts the doctor's evaluation. O'Connor was subpoenaed by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee on Thursday to stand for questioning about Biden's mental abilities during a hearing on June 27. Shortly after the House investigation was launched, the Trump administration issued a memo stating that it was issuing its own investigation into whether or not people other than Biden used an autopen signature device to sign off on executive actions during the late period of Biden's presidential term. Both investigations follow the release of a book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, titled Original Sin, that alleges a mass coverup of Biden's cognitive impairment by those closest to him.

Why Drug Price Reform Alone Won't Heal America
President Donald Trump's revived effort to reduce prescription drug prices is a long-overdue step toward affordability. For millions of Americans, the cost of staying alive has become burdensome, and any policy that eases the burden is worth celebrating. However, as a physician, I've seen what happens when medications become too cheap, plentiful, and automatic. If we don't reform how drugs are used, we risk trading financial hardship for clinical harm. Vagaries of Lower Drug Costs In today's health care system, medication is the first answer—and often the last, especially for older adults. More than 40

Michigan opioid overdose deaths expected to drop for third straight year
Opioid overdose deaths in Michigan are projected to drop in 2024, marking the third consecutive year of decline, according to the state's attorney general's office. Data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services shows a 34% reduction in overdose deaths between 2023 and 2024, which is around 1,000 fewer deaths, state officials said. The death rate from 2022 to 2023 decreased by 5.7% from 2,998 to 2,826. The state credits the three-year decline to investments in prevention, treatment, recovery and harm-reduction efforts, funded in part by national opioid settlements. "Since 2019, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has helped secure more than $1.6 billion in settlements for Michigan governments from companies such as McKinsey & Co, Distributors Cardinal Health, McKesson, Inc., and AmerisourceBergen, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceutical, Allergan Pharmaceutical, CVS, Walmart and Walgreens," the attorney general's office said in a news release on Thursday. In August 2024, the state projected it would see more than $1 billion from opioid settlement payments over the next 20 years or so. The attorney's office says the majority of settlement funds are distributed equally between local governments and Michigan's Opioid Healing and Recovery Fund, which was created by lawmakers in 2022 to hold funds from opioid settlements. Michigan's Opioids Task Force has distributed more than 1.3 million naloxone kits as a result of the funding, with nearly 34,000 of those kits used to reverse overdoses, the state says. In April, local organizations in Livingston County were developing proposals on how to spend around $9 million in opioid settlement funds.
