(The Center Square) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Illinois is one of seven states where a drug-resistant form of salmonella has been linked to Rosabella brand moringa powder capsules.
According to the CDC, Ambrosia Brands LLC agreed to recall the capsules sold in white plastic bottles with a green label, with 52 lot codes and expiration dates in 2027. The CDC says the capsules should be thrown away or returned to where they were bought.
CHICAGO MAYOR VETOES HEMP BAN
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he vetoed a ban on most hemp sales in the city, because the city is awaiting guidance from the federal government and the ordinance requires further collaboration with the small business community.
In a statement from the mayor’s office, Johnson said he shares concerns about intoxicating hemp products, but the ordinance passed by the city council would protect some establishments at the expense of many small businesses who have been following the law and deserve to have a seat at the table.
