According to CNBC, in a 7-2 ruling, SCOTUS stayed a lower court order preventing...

No illnesses have been reported, but salmonella can cause serious and fatal illnesses in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. “Salmonella an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain,” the FDA wrote. “In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis,” it added. FDA issues most serious recall alert for tomatoes that carry 'reasonable risk of DEATH' https://t.co/u6KiNdN5F4 — Daily Mail US (@Daily_MailUS) May 29, 2025 Per Newsweek: Jeongmin Song, professor of microbiology & immunology at Cornell University, New York, previously told Newsweek: “Generally speaking, picking and packaging produce at the farm and the facility can result in food contamination. Some potential causes include polluted fertilizers and fomites at the packing facilities, while there are many plausible explanations. Although food and facility contaminations, such as the recent cases, do occur occasionally, they are uncommon in the U.S. and other developed countries owing to strict hygiene standards.” She added: “Healthy individuals with robust immune systems can recover from a Salmonella infection even after consumption. However, some vulnerable groups, such as young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems, would be at risk from contaminated products. Even if there was Salmonella on the tomatoes, most contaminated bacteria can be eliminated by washing them before consumption.” The Food and Drug Administration said on its website: “When a company announces a recall, market withdrawal, or safety alert, the FDA posts the company’s announcement as a public service. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on salmonella said: “In some people, the illness may be so severe that the patient is hospitalized. Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other parts of the body.”

German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen said it will make a substantial investment in the United States. The company reportedly has conducted direct communications with the Trump administration regarding tariffs. CEO Oliver Blume said talks were “fair” and “constructive.” BREAKING: German automotive giant Volkswagen to make a huge investment into the United States. Tariffs work. pic.twitter.com/O7VQztK7Y0 — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) May 30, 2025 From The Guardian: Speaking to Süddeutsche Zeitung, Blume said he had been to Washington himself and had a direct line to the US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, but had agreed to keep details of the talks confidential. He hoped that plans for substantial investment would help shape Trump’s ultimate decision on the 25% tariffs the US imposed on auto imports in April. “Our primary contact is the US secretary of commerce, but ultimately, the issues also go through the US president’s desk,” he said. “So far, we’ve experienced absolutely fair, constructive discussions. Of course, many things are complex, and we’ve agreed not to share any content. I will stick to that.” His interview comes ahead of the latest round of talks between the EU and the US, with Maroš Šefčovič, the EU commissioner for trade, expected to meet Lutnick on the sidelines of an OECD council meeting in Paris on Tuesday. There is a widespread expectation that whatever the outcome of the talks, a baseline tariff of about 10% will probably endure beyond the July expiry date of Trump’s 90-day pause. President Trump announced this week he would delay a 50% tariff on the European Union until July 9th. President Trump Delays 50% Tariff Until July Per Reuters: Blume said the Volkswagen Group already employed over 20,000 people directly and over 55,000 people indirectly in the United States, and highlighted a $5.8 billion investment in U.S. company Rivian. "We would build on this with further, massive investments," Blume said. Such investments should be factored into any decisions regarding tariffs, added Blume, who said he hoped Brussels and Washington would reach a broad deal for all industries. Blume declined to say when a deal with Washington could be struck, when asked about BMW CEO Oliver Zipse's assessment that tariffs would likely fall from July. "Of course, I also want it to happen quickly. But it depends on many factors and I can't promise anything."
