AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Food Safety: Taylor Farms issued a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce after federal officials linked certain products to a multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak; the FDA later said an initial cyclospora test result was a false positive, but the investigation still points to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms locations in central Mexico, and officials say none of the tested samples are confirmed positive as of July 19. Public Health: Alabama Department of Public Health reported 28 cyclosporiasis cases statewide, with most in North Alabama, as guidance urges people to avoid implicated lettuce and follow food-safety steps. K-12 Policy: Gov. Kay Ivey signed an executive order creating a Governor’s Commission on Screen-Based Instruction to study screen use in Alabama classrooms and recommend evidence-based changes, building on the 2025 FOCUS Act and 2026 screen-time limits. Community Health: FirstHealth expanded supervised exercise therapy for peripheral artery disease in Troy, offering medically supervised activity and education with referrals and coverage through most major insurance, including Medicare. Local Care Access: A West Alabama volunteer fire department began carrying blood products on ambulances to speed trauma transfusions in rural emergencies. Kids’ Health: Children’s of Alabama reported an 8-year-old sister donating bone marrow to save her brother with sickle cell disease.
