AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoFood Safety: The FDA classified Miyoko’s Creamery plant-based butter recall as Class II over possible E. coli, yeast and mold contamination. New Jersey is among 10 affected states; check for lot 07871 and a Nov. 5, 2026 best-by date, and don’t eat it. Recalled cold-smoked sprats also went to New Jersey, with a botulism risk even if they look and smell normal. Outbreak Alert: Raw oysters harvested in Virginia and sold in New Jersey are linked to 27 Salmonella cases. Don’t eat oysters harvested Sept. 18–Oct. 8. Care Access: New Jersey low-cost clinics are seeing rising demand as insurance gaps widen. More than 9% of residents under 65 lack coverage, and over 300,000 could lose NJ FamilyCare, according to the report. Medicare: A prior-authorization pilot that includes New Jersey was linked to a 15% drop in epidural steroid injections and roughly 20% fewer uses of other targeted services; researchers say they can’t tell whether the care not provided was unnecessary or needed. Public Health: A Rutgers-linked study found an association between wildfire-smoke exposure during pregnancy and higher autism risk in children; it does not establish cause and effect.
