Last update: 11 hours agoFood Safety: Mexico’s Health Ministry (Cofepris) says a U.S. FDA cyclospora probe tied to Taylor Farms shredded iceberg lettuce did not conclusively pinpoint the contamination source, after Mexico’s lab tests on raw materials, finished products and water came back negative—while the FDA previously cited a strong link but said it lacked enough proof on how contamination occurred. Climate & Weather: The U.S. National Hurricane Center flagged a potential development area in the Southwestern Gulf with 20% odds over the next week, warning of wind shear and limited time over water—while Mexico continues to watch the tropics after recent hurricane impacts. Marine Science: A Pacific monitoring network is being partially restored after earlier dismantling, with a ship set to reinstall deep-sea instruments that track currents and ecosystems—data now especially important as El Niño reshapes weather and fisheries. Biodiversity: A genetic study is helping map Gila monster populations and risks, highlighting how habitat loss and roads may affect the elusive, heat-sensitive lizard.
