Frito-Lay recalls some Tostitos chips over undeclared allergen
(NEXSTAR) — Frito-Lay is recalling a small number of bags of its Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips over concerns they may accidentally contain some nacho cheese tortilla chips — which contain milk and may pose a risk to those with milk allergies or sensitivities.
While fewer than 1,300 bags of chips are affected, the potential for serious or life-threatening allergic reactions means it's important to check your Tostitos bags. Customers with milk allergies or sensitivities should discard the product immediately, Frito-Lay says.

The recall only affects 13-ounce bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips which were available to purchase as recently as March 7. UPC codes 28400 and 52848 indicate potentially affected bags.
Frito-Lay notes, however, that the bags involved must have both a 'Guaranteed Fresh' date of '20 MAY 2025' in addition to one of the following manufacturing codes (it's important to note that the 'XX' represents any number between 30 and 55):
471106504
18 13:XX or 471106505
85 13:XX or 471106506

85 13:XX
The chips were sold in grocery, convenience and drug stores in the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

In a statement, Frito-Lay added: 'Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, this product is safe to consume.'

UnitedHealth Group received multiple bids for Latin American operations
-- UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) is considering several offers for its Latin American operations, according to a Reuters report on Monday. The move comes as the largest U.S. health insurer faces challenges that include the departure of its CEO and an alleged criminal accounting investigation. The insurer has been attempting to leave Latin America since 2022, with the sale of its Banmedica subsidiary becoming more urgent in recent months due to increasing pressures on multiple fronts, the report said. So far, UnitedHealth has reportedly received four preliminary bids for Banmedica, which operates in Colombia and Chile, with an estimated value of about $1 billion. In May, UnitedHealth's shares dropped 25.5%, and the year-to-date decline stands at 40%. The company withdrew from Brazil in 2023 and from Peru in March 2025. It aims to secure around $1 billion for Banmedica's operations in Colombia and Chile. The company anticipates setting a deadline for final proposals as early as July. The bids reportedly include offers from Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm Acon Investments, Sao Paulo-based private equity firm Patria Investments, Texas non-profit health organization Christus Health, and Lima-based healthcare and insurance provider Auna. The report mentioned that Auna is currently in discussions with a financial partner.

Collins calls Kennedy's firing of vaccine experts ‘excessive'
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Monday called Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s firing of all 17 experts on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) vaccine panel 'excessive,' but she cautioned she needs to learn more about the decision. Kennedy announced the decision in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, catching many GOP lawmakers by surprise. 'I did not know that that had happened,' Collins, a senior member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said. 'It seems to me to be excessive to ask for everybody's resignations, but I can't judge because I don't know who he's replacing them with.' The Maine senator said the CDC's vaccine advisory committee 'provided helpful guidance to the public on what they should do.' Collins said that Kennedy didn't promise members of the HELP Committee that he would keep the vaccine experts in place. 'I'm just learning about it for the first time,' she said. 'I don't know what the basis was.' Kennedy said in his Wall Street Journal column that he removed the experts so that President Trump could shape the membership of the committee. 'Without removing the current members, the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028,' he wrote. Kennedy argued that vaccines have become 'a divisive issue in American politics' and that public confidence is waning' in health agencies, pharmaceutical companies and vaccines themselves. 'That is why, under my direction, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is putting the restoration of public trust above any pro- or antivaccine agenda. The public must know that unbiased science guides the recommendations from our health agencies. This will ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible,' he wrote. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) in a statement blasted Kennedy's move as 'reckless.' 'RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are taking a wrecking ball to the programs that keep Americans safe and healthy. Firing experts that have spent their entire lives protecting kids from deadly disease is not reform — it's reckless, radical, and rooted in conspiracy, not science,' Schumer said in a statement.

Rochester-based organization providing aid to Haiti reacts to international travel ban
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – The Trump administration has imposed a travel ban on 12 countries, which took effect Monday. The ban is prohibiting those primarily in Africa and the Middle East from entering the U.S. out of concerns of national security and terrorism. Haiti is among the countries affected. News 8 spoke to the leader of one local organization overseeing mission work there for years. Dr. Ralph Pennino co-founded Intervol in the late 80s and for more than three decades, the Rochester-based organization has helped to provide countless medical supplies and equipment in developing countries each year. In 2017, Dr. Pennino helped to create a school in Leogane, Haiti, which is not far from the country's capital of Port-Au-Prince. 'Right now, we've got grades 1 through 9. These are kids that wouldn't have a choice in education otherwise,' said Dr. Pennino. Regarding the travel ban, Dr. Pennino says the future of volunteerism is unclear. With a population plagued by poverty and violence, he says it only makes matters more complicated. 'Haiti, interestingly enough, has the highest number of volunteers per capita for a population that comes down to try and help Haiti. To be quite honest, there's probably going to be a lot of repair work to do because people are going to be afraid. And I understand. They're not going to go want to go there,' said Dr. Pennino. Catholic Charities closing certain refugee resettlement programs While there's no immediate answer as to when the travel ban will lift, Intervol continues to meet with students online for services like medical checkups or educational lessons. 'We'd normally send doctors down that would go to some of the remote villages to do primary care and the surgeons would go to part of the hospital. That part of what we do, I don't know how long it's going to be,' said Dr. Pennino. Dr. Pennino added for the first time in the Haitian school's history, their ninth graders are about to complete their national exams. He says that has been a positive in the midst of uncertainty.
