AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoFood Safety Update: The cyclospora outbreak tied to recalled Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce has expanded to 15 states, with CDC reporting more than 10,000 lab-confirmed cases and states warning the true total is higher; Michigan and Ohio remain hardest hit, and New Hampshire is now on the list. Local Guidance Shift: Michigan lifted its broad “avoid bagged salad mixes” recommendation as new cases and diarrhea-related ER visits decline, while still urging people to avoid recalled lettuce. Public Health Watch: Investigators say the outbreak is hard to track because symptoms can take weeks to show up, and they’re continuing to probe beyond lettuce as cases rise. Medicaid Oversight: New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella joined a bipartisan push urging Congress to expand states’ authority to investigate Medicaid fraud, including beneficiary/recipient fraud. Home Care Protections: NH DHHS is requiring managed care organizations to give written notice before changing home care plans for medically complex children, after families saw hours reduced under the Katie Beckett program. Air Quality Policy: EPA preliminarily supports New Hampshire’s plan to end mandatory vehicle inspection and emissions testing, aligning federal requirements with state law.
