Local Congressmen reintroduce train derailment bill
Congressmen Dave Joyce and Michael Rulli and two democrats reintroduced the bill last week. It has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The East Palestine Health Impact Act calls for a five-year study on the long-term health impacts caused by the derailment.
Joyce introduced the same legislation last year, but it never got a hearing in the committee.

Key Opinion Leader Event Highlights Pelareorep's Compelling Pancreatic and Gastrointestinal Data And Future Potential
SAN DIEGO and CALGARY, AB, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ -- Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (Nasdaq: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), a leading clinical-stage company specializing in immunotherapy for oncology, hosted a key opinion leader (KOL) webinar featuring leading physicians in the fields of oncology and immunotherapy discussing pelareorep's robust clinical data and how it fits in the evolving treatment landscape for pancreatic and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The KOLs provided individual presentations and then participated in a roundtable Q&A discussion. A replay of the full conversation can be found by clicking here. A selection of key takeaways includes: The meaningful survival benefit demonstrated by pelareorep-based treatment combinations in first-line (1L) metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) patients across randomized and single-arm clinical studies necessitates evaluating pelareorep in a registration-enabling study in 1L mPDAC. Immunotherapies have not yet been approved to treat mPDAC patients, illustrating an unmet need, which provides an opportunity for an immunologically active agent like pelareorep to deliver an impactful clinical benefit in this challenging indication. The combination of pelareorep and chemotherapy would be an appealing treatment option for 1L mPDAC patients, even with the presence of RAS inhibitors in the treatment paradigm. Translational data from multiple mPDAC and colorectal cancer clinical trials validate pelareorep's mechanism of action, showing that it replicates in tumors, stimulates chemokine expression, and induces the expansion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which correlates with a reduction in tumor size. "I want to thank our esteemed panel of oncologists for their meaningful contributions to our KOL event," said Jared Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics. "Their insights underscore a critical and timely message: pelareorep is a compelling immunotherapy platform that is well situated for combination strategies and a highly differentiated asset for pharma partners looking to expand or establish leadership in GI oncology. We are committed to moving forward aggressively toward registrational development while engaging with partners who share our vision of transforming outcomes in these difficult-to-treat cancers." About Oncolytics Biotech Inc. Oncolytics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immunotherapeutic agent. Pelareorep has demonstrated promising results in two randomized Phase 2 studies in metastatic breast cancer and Phase 1 and 2 studies in pancreatic cancer. It acts by inducing anti-cancer immune responses and promotes an inflamed tumor phenotype -- turning "cold" tumors "hot" -- through innate and adaptive immune responses to treat a variety of cancers. Pelareorep has demonstrated synergies with multiple approved oncology treatments. Oncolytics is currently conducting and planning combination clinical trials with pelareorep in solid malignancies as it advances towards registrational studies in metastatic breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, both of which have received Fast Track designation from the FDA.

FDA Issues Highest Risk Warning for Tofu Recall
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A recall of tofu due to the potential presence of an undeclared allergen has been issued the highest risk warning by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Shang Hao Jia, Inc., based in California, issued a voluntary recall for a select number of cases of Danshi Spicy Shredded Tofu on June 26 due to possible undeclared sesame. The FDA subsequently issued a Class 1 risk classification for the recall on July 17. Newsweek reached out to Shang Hao Jia, Inc. for comment by phone outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters A Class I risk classification represents "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death," according to the FDA. The FDA warned in its recall notice that individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame "run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product." Sesame is one of the nine major food allergens as defined in law. The others are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. Allergic reactions vary in severity from mild symptoms, such as hives and lip swelling, to life-threatening complications, such as anaphylaxis, that may include fatal respiratory problems. Stock image of tofu on a plate. Stock image of tofu on a plate. Arno Burgi/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images What To Know The product impacted by the recall is the following: Danshi Spicy Shredded Tofu - UPC code: 6 942849 709499 - lot code: 20240825 - best-by date: 05/24/2025 The product was imported by Shang Hao Jia, Inc., and manufactured in China by Sichuan Shifang Danshi Food Co., Ltd. The recall impacts a total of 50 cases, each containing 30 bags. The products were distributed to three grocery stores in the Los Angeles area, according to the recall notice. As of June 27, no illnesses had been reported in connection with the consumption of the products. The recall was initiated after it was discovered during an FDA inspection that the product contained sesame, which was not listed on the packaging. What People Are Saying The FDA says on its website: "People with food allergies should read labels and avoid the foods they are allergic to. The law requires that food labels identify the food source of all major food allergens used to make the food." Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, director of New York Allergy & Asthma PLLC, previously told Newsweek: "Every three minutes in the United States, someone ends up in an emergency room because of an allergic reaction after accidental ingestion of food. So even when we try hard, these reactions are happening. And if you look at the incidence of anaphylaxis, it has skyrocketed in the last five, 10, 20 years. And in the U.S., there's like a 300 to 400 percent increase in the rates of anaphylaxis to foods." What Happens Next The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA. Consumers who purchased the affected product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
