Public Health Alert: Walmart is telling shoppers to dispose of specific Marketside bagged iceberg lettuce products after cyclosporiasis concerns, noting no sign Missouri/Kansas store items are affected but urging caution while investigations continue. Food Safety: Taylor Farms expanded its lettuce recall to 27 states after a Cyclospora-linked outbreak, including Missouri and Kansas, with guidance to throw out affected shredded iceberg and seek care if sick. Extreme Heat: Heat advisories cover 22 states, including Missouri, with “feels-like” temperatures pushing toward dangerous levels and warnings to stay inside and out of the sun. Flooding & Climate Impacts: Southeast Missouri’s historic flash flooding brought 8–12 inches in hours and hundreds of swiftwater rescues; coverage points to training storms and highlights how extreme rain events are becoming more disruptive. Local Land Use: St. Joseph paused new data center applications and is revising zoning with outside help, reflecting growing community pushback over environmental and infrastructure impacts. Wildlife & Outdoors: Missouri tick season is getting longer, with higher tick-bite ER visits reported nationally—an extra reason to check for ticks after outdoor time. Conservation Funding: Missouri voters will decide on Amendment 1 to extend the Parks, Soils and Water Sales Tax, supporting soil and water conservation and state parks.
