Quick Glance: USDA directive mandates bird flu testing for dairy cows in interstate transport
- A new federal directive from the USDA states that dairy cows transported across state lines must be tested for bird flu.
- Following the discovery of bird flu virus fragments in pasteurized milk, the FDA initiated a survey of commercially sold milk.
- The presence of the virus in the commercial milk supply indicates previous measures were insufficient in controlling its spread.
- In addition to testing dairy cows before transport, the Wednesday's order mandates state veterinary labs to report positive tests to federal health authorities.

usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/19/consumer-report-pesticides-in-produce-report/73369022007/
Quick Glance: Consumer Reports' Investigation on Pesticides in Food
- A recent study by Consumer Reports revealed that certain foods contain a concerning amount of insecticides and that green beans exhibited residues of pesticides prohibited for over a decade.
- The analysis showed that specific fruits and vegetables present a higher risk due to the type of pesticides detected on them.
- Both watermelons and green beans are classified as high-risk items because of the pesticides present. It was noted that watermelons harbored the pesticide Oxamyl.
- Even though traces of residues were detected in small quantities in food, they can pose significant risks, especially for children or pregnant individuals. Opting for organic products is advised to mitigate pesticide exposure.
