On Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for a Giovanni Rana item, labeled as “Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli,” because some batches in fact contained a shrimp filling in lobster sauce. The problem was discovered after Giovanni Rana received complaints from two consumers who said the product contained shrimp ravioli, not beef sauce and burrata as advertized. The labeling error poses a risk of a serious allergic reaction for people who have a crustacean shellfish allergy and don’t see the ingredient listed in the allergen statement. Costco announced a recall …

What’s changing? The agreement will gradually eliminate duties on more than 90 percent of EU exports, including on cars, pharmaceuticals, wine and spirits, and olive oil. Some so-called non-tariff barriers — such as on labeling — will be removed. Public procurement markets will open up, allowing EU companies to bid for government contracts. The Commission estimates that EU exports to the Mercosur region will grow by 39 percent through 2040, to €50 billion. “The benefits are real and visible as of now,” von der Leyen said in a post on X. “Tariffs start falling. Companies are gaining access to new markets. Investors have the predictability they need.” But gains will be slower to materialize on some products. “In most cases, the tariff reductions will be phased in over a period of 10 to 15 years. The economic effects will therefore become apparent primarily in the medium to long term,” said Oliver Richtberg, head of foreign trade at Germany’s VDMA engineering federation. If either the Court of Justice or lawmakers ultimately reject the agreement, the European Commission …

By pursuing an agreement, the government appears ready to adopt “unnecessarily stringent” EU SPS controls on imports from non-EU countries, said Jenney. This risks triggering “thousands of additional and unnecessary border delays, considerably more inspections, more paperwork and port congestion — every added layer acting as a compounding financial penalty on trade,” he warned.  Analysis conducted by the Fresh Produce Consortium — seen by POLITICO — suggests that a number of staples from the weekly shop could be negatively impacted as border checks for non-EU produce are ramped up — from Moroccan cucumbers and Indian mangoes to South African citrus fruits and U.S. sweet potatoes. This is expected to add a cost of around £400 million to the supply chain, the consortium estimates.  U.K. Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds leaves No. 10 Downing Street after a Cabinet meeting on March 24, 2026. | Leon Neal/Getty Images Beyond imports, firms have warned that the SPS deal risks imposing costly burdens on domestic growers, who are forced to impose EU standards even if they have no plan to …

Last month, manufacturing company Keurig Dr Pepper issued a voluntary recall on its McCafé Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods due to a labeling error. Despite being listed as decaf, the pods may contain caffeine. Last week, the FDA elevated the recall to a class II risk classification, meaning that consuming the pods comes with a health risk. Although the product is safe to drink, customers who have a caffeine sensitivity should be mindful of potential side effects. The FDA has advised that 400 milligrams per day of caffeine — about two to three 12-fluid-ounce cups of coffee — is a safe amount to consume for most adults without any …
