Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Well, that recall expanded in a Jif, so to speak. Just three days after J.M. Smucker Company had voluntarily recalled certain lots of their Jif brand peanut butter products due to a Salmonella Senftenberg outbreak, Cargill joined the peanut butter gallery and issued their own recall of peanut buttery products. On May 23, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Cargill was recalling select lots of their Milk and Dark Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers, Peanut Butter Meltaways, and Peanut Butter Eggs and Fudge. What did these products have in common? Alas, they all contained the Jif peanut butter that was recalled on May 20. On May 21, Vicky Forster, PhD, covered for Forbes the original Jif recall. That same day, an announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had indicated that the Salmonella Senftenberg outbreak had already left at least 14 people sick and … [Read more...] about Peanut Butter Product Recall Expanded Beyond Jif Due To 12-State Salmonella Outbreak

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Whether you arrive in your electric Porsche or by Amtrak with a backpack, entering the small city of Hudson gives an illusion of stepping onto a movie set — Wes Anderson’s, no less. The city that was initially settled by whalers from Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard and thrived as a whaling hub in the 18th century has recently earned a reputation as the Brooklyn of upstate New York. Amid hip coffee bars and boutique stores, Queen Anne style mansions and Victorian houses are still erect while derelict buildings are spotted throughout the city, indicating the faint remnants of the seedy history of Hudson. After all, Columbia Street — formerly Diamond Street — was notorious for gambling and prostitution in the early 20th century. This complete jumble and multi-layers of history are all laid bare in Hudson, strangely looking harmonious together and giving away the history of the rise and fall — and rise again — of the city. … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Travel Guide To Hudson, New York

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The lawn and garden market is projected to reach $26.3 billion by 2020, according to Allied Market Research. Gardening can lift your spirits and help make you feel peaceful and content. Yet, something good for you mentally isn't necessarily good for the environment. The non-organic chemicals in pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers can be toxic to the environment . Through her capital and deal flow pipeline for early-stage female tech founders, Vinetta Project, Vanessa Dawson started working with consumer packaged goods (CPG) corporations like P&G.

PHUKET: I used to write about the trend-following sector. Many of the funds I still use went decades with the steadiest performance in the investment industry, while still giving investors above-average returns. Sadly, in the period of low interest rates and volatility following the financial crisis, the entire asset class has struggled. The steady year-after-year forward progress seemed to turn upside down and many funds were down three out of four years after having gone decades without a single bad year. This year, however, it seems that they are back in a big way and the recent volatility in oil prices appears to have been one of the biggest causes. It doesn’t matter if the underlying commodities go down or up for this style of fund to make a good return, but there does need to be movement, and there certainly has been just that in the oil market as of late. At the time of this writing, the two major benchmarks are were off by about 38% from the 2014 highs that hit in June. … [Read more...] about Finance: Oil volatility good for asset class

Small businesses are nothing without their communities. And when tragedy strikes close to home, many entrepreneurs feel a responsibility to act--fast. That's exactly what happened after a gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas , on Tuesday, May 24, killing 19 children and 2 adults. Local business owners, including those in the closest metropolitan area, San Antonio, have quickly rallied to support the families of the victims . "My heart tore up and broke when I heard the news," says Charles Moreno, the founder of ChazzMo's Barbecue , a Central Texas-style barbecue pop-up in Castroville, a town on the western outskirts of San Antonio. Moreno, who lived and worked in the Uvalde area for eight years and still has many friends and family members nearby, started his barbecue business in the early days of the pandemic, grilling out of his backyard.

Operating like a well-oiled unit, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will start as overwhelming favourites when they clash with struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Delhi on April 28. The MS Dhoni-led CSK have bounced back in style after losing the opening match. They are on a roll with four straight wins and will hope that the new venue -- Feroze Shah Kotla ground -- also favours them. The three-time champions had an underwhelming 2020 season but the team, packed with seasoned players, is now displaying the efficiency it is known for. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been the driving force behind CSK's impressive run so far. His blistering assault on Harshal Patel in the final over shut out RCB on Sunday. He has been among the wickets with his accurate left-arm spin apart from effecting stunning run-outs. Openers -- Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad -- have found form while Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu are due for big knocks.
