SAN ANTONIO —
Apple juice recalled in 25 states
Around 10,000 cases of apple juice have been recalled by Walmart in 25 U.S. states.
AP News says it's because they were found to contain potentially harmful levels of inorganic arsenic.
The warning was put out Friday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after an original announcement Aug. 15. The new classification said the affected product may temporarily cause adverse health consequences but is unlikely to cause serious or irreversible medical issues.
The recall applies to 9,535 cases of Great Value brand apple juice sold in 25 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Florida-based manufacturer Refresco Beverages US Inc. voluntarily recalled the contaminated six-packs of 8-ounce (227-gram) juice bottles after discovering levels of the chemical contaminant that exceeded industry standards.
Less healthy baby food?
New research shows baby food is less healthy than we realize.
According to CBS News a new study shows nearly 60% of snack pouches to jarred purees found in grocery stores across the United States don't meet nutrition standards.
In the study, published in the journal Nutrients Wednesday, researchers at The George Institute for Global Health analyzed 651 commercially produced infant and toddler foods across 10 different grocery chains in the U.S. They found nearly 60% of the foods failed to meet nutritional standards set by the World Health Organization.
Among all products, 70% failed to meet protein requirements and 44% exceeded total sugar recommendations. In addition, 1 in 4 products didn't meet calorie requirements and 1 in 5 exceeded recommended sodium limits.
Turbulence caused by climate change
If you're planning of flying this Labor Day know that you'll experience a little more turbulence and experts say climate change is to blame.
Verify found Incidents of turbulence on airline flights have increased by more than 50% within the past 40 years. Multiple studies suggest climate change is to blame for the increase in turbulence, while other researchers say additional factors, such as a rise in overall air traffic, could be at play.
“We are seeing some more severe cases, and that really is an outcome of a warming planet,” said Shem Malmquist, an airline captain and instructor at Florida Tech’s College of Aeronautics.
Turbulence is an irregular motion of the air resulting from eddies (circular currents or whirls of air) and vertical currents, according to the National Weather Service. The most dangerous type is clear-air turbulence, which often occurs with no visible warning in the sky ahead.
There are many causes of turbulence, but it is typically associated with different weather conditions, such as cold or warm fronts, thunderstorms or wind shear, which is the change in wind direction and/or wind speed over a specific horizontal or vertical distance.
