In the food sector, a raw milk recall in California has been expanded after tests detected more bird flu virus in the products. The Fresno producer has recalled all whole milk and cream products from stores. Additionally, the USDA has issued an alert for ‘Dino Buddies’ Holiday Chicken Nuggets due to potential contamination, and there have been recalls of cucumber products and ground beef tied to E. coli and salmonella outbreaks.
