AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Food Safety Alert: Taylor Farms expanded its voluntary recall of shredded iceberg lettuce to 27 states, including North Carolina, after a cyclospora-linked cyclosporiasis outbreak; officials say consumers should discard the recalled greens and avoid eating them. State Health Update: NCDHHS reports 307 cyclosporiasis cases and 13 hospitalizations in North Carolina from May 1 to July 14, with many cases tied to lettuce, cilantro, and parsley; the state says its surge doesn’t appear linked to the Taco Bell cluster in other states. Public Health Access: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline marks four years, and North Carolina has expanded crisis support with a mobile crisis dispatch process and faster bed-finding through BH SCAN. Local Environmental Risk: An NC state auditor report says Alamance County has 11 decommissioned former landfills that haven’t been assessed for potential contamination near homes and wells. Community Wellness: Planet Fitness’ High School Summer Pass program is back in Henderson, offering free workouts for teens to build healthy habits and community.
