Why it matters locally: Florida, a major port of entry for goods from Mexico, may see increased scrutiny of imported produce like jalapeno peppers due to the ongoing salmonella investigation.
WASHINGTON – A Republican-led Senate committee voted Thursday to recommend holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. The vote followed Fauci's refusal to answer specific questions during a committee hearing. Separately, health officials have initiated an investigation into a salmonella outbreak. They have connected the outbreak to jalapeno peppers sourced from Mexico. In a health development, scientists will soon apply messenger RNA (mRNA) technology to flu vaccines for older Americans. This technology formed the basis for COVID-19 vaccines.Related Topics
