New York City's iconic pizzerias and bagel shops may soon be forced to update their long-standing baking practices after state lawmakers moved to ban a common additive. The bill would prohibit businesses from using potassium bromide, a key component of a type of flour that is widely used at the city's pizzerias and bagel shops. The chemical compound is considered a possible carcinogen and is widely banned outside the United States. While some fear the ban will hurt the city's longtime establishments, others say it could ultimately enhance the city's slices and bagels. The legislation is awaiting Gov. Kathy Hochul's signature.

Police in eastern Austria say a 39-year-old suspect has been arrested after rat poison turned up in some HiPP baby food jars on supermarket shelves in central Europe. The company recalled some of its baby food in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia after the case came to light last month. It said in a statement Saturday it was “greatly relieved” by the arrest. Authorities said previously they believe the tampering occurred in 6.7-ounce jars of baby food made with carrots and potatoes for 5-month-olds that were sold from SPAR supermarkets in Austria.
Proponents of raw milk are pushing to make the unpasteurized product more widely available and easy to obtain. More than three dozen bills supporting raw milk have been introduced in statehouses across the nation, the AP found. The momentum is growing even as a new outbreak sickens U.S. children. Health officials have long warned that raw milk can contain potentially deadly germs. But government officials like Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., along with social media influencers, have fueled sharp new interest in unproven health benefits.
Backers of raw milk are pushing to make the potentially dangerous product more widely available, even as a new disease outbreak sickens U.S. children. More than three dozen bills supporting raw milk have been introduced in statehouses, The Associated Press found. More states are legalizing it. Top government officials and internet influencers are helping drive this momentum. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. downed shots of raw milk at the White House last year and previously promised to halt “aggressive suppression” of the product. Social media posts about raw milk have surged. This alarms public health officials, who warn that unpasteurized milk can harbor risky germs.
You may be able to salvage some food, but when in doubt, throw it out.
