Public Health Advisory: Salmonella Recall
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has issued an urgent advisory regarding a multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to a dietary supplement. Residents are warned not to consume "Live it Up Super Greens" powdered supplement (Original and Wild Berry flavors). The affected products have expiration dates ranging from August 2026 to January 2028. If you have this product, you are advised to discard it or return it to the point of purchase. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.
Public Safety and Civil Rights Updates
In response to ongoing federal enforcement activities within the city, the Minneapolis City Council recently passed a unanimous resolution calling for a statewide eviction moratorium to protect residents impacted by the current climate. Additionally, a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction restricting the tactics federal agents may use during local operations. The order prohibits the use of chemical irritants and non-lethal munitions against peaceful protesters and forbids the stopping of vehicles without reasonable suspicion.
