Tate brothers complain about jail snacks as extradition fight heats up

In a Miami detention center, Andrew and Tristan Tate, jailed while fighting extradition to the UK on dozens of charges including rape and human trafficking, complain about prison meals in a handwritten note shared by their lawyer, saying they have received only 14 snack items in 32 days for two men; their 28-page filing contends their wealth displays were for show to generate social media income as they remain in federal custody during extradition proceedings.

Vanishing Calories: Why airy snacks may quietly pack on pounds

A New York Post piece explains 'vanishing caloric density'—airy, quickly dissolving snacks can fool the brain into thinking calories are low, potentially triggering overeating and weight gain. Regular consumption of ultra-processed snacks (chips, cheese puffs, cotton candy, popcorn, etc.) may crowd out nutrient-dense foods and raise risks for diabetes, heart disease and cancer; experts advise choosing whole foods with protein, fiber and healthy fats, checking ingredient lists, and pre-portioning snacks to avoid mindless eating.

Common Snacks May Elevate Cancer-Linked Toxin Exposure During Pregnancy

A Rutgers-led pilot study found mycotoxins in every urine sample from 33 pregnant women in New Jersey, with higher exposure tied to the amount of corn and grain foods consumed (popcorn, corn chips, tortillas). The mycoestrogen zearalenone, which mimics estrogen, has been linked to greater weight gain during pregnancy and lower infant birth weight in past research. The FDA has not set maximum limits for zearalenone in foods, while the WHO advises precautions such as inspecting whole grains and nuts for mold. The researchers call for greater awareness of mycotoxins’ dietary sources and potential impacts on maternal and child health.

PepsiCo hits receipts abroad as US shoppers trim snacks amid inflation

PepsiCo posted a better‑than‑expected quarter with adjusted EPS of $2.20 and revenue of $24.2 billion, driven by strength overseas, even as U.S. consumers pared back snacks and soda due to higher living costs. North America volume fell about 2% and pricing gains were offset by softer NA performance, helped by successful multipacks and zero‑sugar drinks. The company still expects full‑year organic revenue up 2‑4% and core EPS up 4‑6% in constant currencies, with a gradual improvement in North America in the second half; the stock fell around 5% after the report.

Billy Bob Thornton Reveals Rare Blood Type And Diet Constraints Shape His Snack Choices

Billy Bob Thornton disclosed on a Howie Mandel Does Stuff episode that he has AB-negative blood, a rare type, along with multiple allergies that force a highly restricted diet (no dairy, wheat, shellfish, or meat). He described breakfast with blueberries and gluten-free, dairy-free chips later, and shared a green-room snack of grapes dipped in Dijon mustard that has become a go-to treat. The 70-year-old actor also touched on past drastic weight changes for roles but said he no longer does extreme body transformations, all while promoting Landman with Sam Elliott.

Salmonella recall expands to Good & Gather trail mix and other nut blends

Illinois-based John B. Sanfilippo and Son is recalling multiple nut mixes and a Mexican street corn trail mix after potential salmonella contamination. The affected products include Good & Gather, Southern Style Nuts, Fisher, and Squirrel Brand mixes sold at Target and other retailers. The seasoning used contains dry milk powder that had been recalled previously, and the FDA notes the salmonella test on the seasoning was negative before use; the recall is precautionary. Consumers who purchased these items should not eat them and can return them to the store for a refund or replacement.

PepsiCo warns Iran conflict could push prices higher amid inflation fight

PepsiCo warned that the Iran war could raise input costs and, by extension, consumer prices, even as it previously cut snack prices to combat inflation. The company expects to offset higher costs through its supply infrastructure, productivity gains, and adjustments to its price-pack architecture, with six to 12 months of hedging offering some protection. In the latest quarter, revenue rose 8.5% to $19.4 billion and net income climbed 27% to $2.3 billion, helped by rebounding North American snack volumes and resilient international markets.
