Trader Joe's recalls more than 61,000 products over glass hazard
The grocery store chain issued a recall for its 750 mL bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, an imported German product that is sold for around $3.
According to the company's news release, 'certain lot codes may have the potential for cracked/damaged bottles.' The affected lot codes are either 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12 or 024/271/11 24 2027/18/12.
'The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles in the lot codes above,' the news release read.
The bottles were sold from December 27, 2024, to January 28, 2025, in 12 states. The states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
No customers have reported injuries or any damaged bottles, according to the news release.
Trader Joe's has asked customers who have purchased bottles from the affected lots to not use them and to either throw them away or return them to the grocery store chain for a full refund.
Last month, Trader Joe's recalled their Organic Acai Bowls over the concern that the bowls may contain plastic. The grocer recommended throwing away or returning the boxes to a Trader Joe's location for a full refund.
'Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe's Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe's store for a full refund,' the company said.
The recall did not contain information detailing the lot numbers affected or specifying a range of dates when the affected products were produced or sold.
Earlier this week a coffee creamer brand recalled over 75,000 bottles after receiving complaints of 'spoilage and illness.'
Danone, the parent company of International Delight coffee creamer, originally issued a voluntary recall on February 21. On Wednesday, the United States Food and Drug Administration upgraded the recall to its second-highest risk level, a Class II recall.
According to the FDA, a Class II recall means using or being exposed to the product may 'cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.' The recall only applies to two specific flavors of the coffee creamer: 32-ounce bottles of Hazelnut creamer and 32-ounce bottles of Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll. The total number of recalled creamer bottles was 75,054.
Their expiration dates are listed as July 2, 2025, and July 3, 2025, respectively. Both recalled bottles have a producing plant code of 51-4114 R-S.
Thirty-one states received shipments of the creamer bottles: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Trump says he will fire lead official on economic data as stocks shudder
US President Donald Trump said he would fire the head of the agency charged with publishing some of America's most closely watched economic data, after a weaker-than-expected jobs report stoked further alarm about his tariff policies. His decision to move forward with plans to sharply raise tariffs on goods from countries around the world had already sent financial markets in the US shuddering. In the US, the three major indexes dropped, with the S&P falling 1.9% by mid-afternoon. That followed earlier sell-offs in Europe and Asia, as investors dumped shares of firms such as South Korean steel manufacturers and German truck-maker Daimler. Trump's plans leave most goods coming into the US facing new taxes of 10% to 50%, depending on their origin, and will lift tariff rates in the US to the highest levels in nearly a century. Trump says the measures will rebalance global trade and boost US manufacturing. But analysts say they will raise prices for businesses and consumers in the US and weigh on the US and global economies, as sales, hiring and investment slow. This week has revived fears about economic damage, as companies update investors on their costs and new data points to slowdown in the US. Employers in the US added just 73,000 jobs in July, according the monthly Labor Department report published on Friday. It also dramatically revised estimates of job growth in May and June, with far fewer gains than previously thought. "The economic data since the Liberation Day announcements did not reflect that sharp deterioration in economic activity, or at least not in obvious ways. This was the week that changed," analysts at Wells Fargo wrote on Friday. The revisions appeared to spur Trump to fire the commissioner of labor statistics, Erika McEntarfer, in a post on social media. "We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY," he wrote on social media, referring to the large revisions to the May and June jobs numbers. Trump also lashed out at Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, whom he has angrily criticised in recent months. Shares in the US opened lower in the morning, with losses accelerating over the course of the afternoon. France's CAC 40 closed down 2.9%, while German's DAX fell 2.6%. In the UK, the FTSE fell 0.7%. Earlier the leading index in South Korea fell 3.8%, the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong dropped 1% and Japan's Nikkei fell 0.6%. When Trump first put forward his plans in April, shares in the US tumbled more than 10% in a week, the concerns spreading to the dollar and bond markets. The stock market recovered after he suspended some of the most drastic measures, leaving in place a less punishing, more expected 10% levy. In recent weeks, indexes in the US have been trading around all-time highs. "The reality is Trump got emboldened by the fact that markets came right back," Michael Gayed, portfolio manager for The Free Markets ETF told the BBC's Opening Bell. "Now he's going to try his luck again." The latest measures are less extreme than what Trump first put forward in April, when goods from key players in southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, were facing tariff rates of more than 40% and a tit-for-tat exchange with China drove US tariffs on its exports surge to at least 145%. But the tariffs still make for a radical change for the US, for decades a champion of free trade. The plans include a minimum 10% tax on most goods entering the US, with major trade partners, including the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam face tariffs in the range of 15% to 20%. Goods from China are set to facing new 30% levies, while exports from some other countries, including Switzerland and Laos face even higher duties. The changes, which are set to go into effect on 7 August, will lift the average tariff rate to roughly 18%, up from less than 2.5% as recently as January. Investors had been taking the impact of tariffs in stride, sending shares in the US and elsewhere to new highs in recent weeks. Mr Gayed said markets had become less sensitive to Trump's rapidly changing trade policies, but he saw risks ahead. "The more he just whips around policy, the more the markets will not care, but as the old saying goes, nothing matters 'til it matters and then it's the only thing that matters," he said.

adidas reports 2.2% increase in Q2 2025 net sales
German sportswear giant adidas has reported a net sales increase of 2.2% to €5.95bn ($6.85bn) in the second quarter (Q2) of 2025. It has posted a 12% currency-neutral revenue increase for its namesake brand in the quarter, indicating sustained momentum. The Yeezy inventory sale was completed late in 2024. The revenues, including Yeezy sales from the previous year, showed an 8% increase. adidas' operating profit saw a 58% increase to €546m ($631.1m), with an operating margin increase of 3.2 percentage points to 9.2%. Net income from continuing operations jumped 77% to €375m, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of €2.03. The apparel category has seen 17% growth, driven by strong product offerings across sports categories, and footwear revenues rose 9% on a currency-neutral basis. Categories such as running, training, sportswear and performance basketball have been particularly strong. Accessories also saw a 7% increase during the quarter. adidas has also seen strong underlying growth across all markets, with double-digit increases in North America, Greater China, Latin America, emerging markets and Japan/South Korea. The brand's Europe revenue grew 7%. CEO Bjørn Gulden stated: 'We feel the current global growth and the success in markets like Greater China, South Korea or Japan prove that our strategy works and that we are moving in the right direction.' Gross margin improved 0.9 percentage points to 51.7%, primarily due to reduced discounting and lower product and freight costs, partially offset by currency fluctuations and changes in the business mix. In the first half (H1) of 2025, currency-neutral revenues for the Adidas brand were up 14%. The brand saw double-digit growth across all markets and channels. Net income from continuing operations more than doubled to €811m. Footwear revenues increased 16%, and apparel sales grew 12%. The gross margin rose 0.9 percentage points to 51.9% during H1. adidas has confirmed its full-year outlook despite external volatility and macroeconomic risks. The company expects currency-neutral sales to increase at a high-single-digit rate in 2025 and projects its operating profit to reach between €1.7bn and €1.8bn. Gulden added: 'The year has started great for us and normally we would now be very bullish in our outlook for the full year. We feel the volatility and uncertainty in the world does not make this prudent. We still do not know what the final tariffs in the US will be. 'We have already had a negative impact in the double-digit euro millions in Q2 and the latest indications of tariffs will directly increase the cost of our products for the US with up to €200m during the rest of the year. We do also not know what the indirect impact on consumer demand will be should all these tariffs cause major inflation.'

Danone sues Chobani over cold brew coffee slogan, packaging
Danone has embarked on legal action in the US against rival dairy group Chobani, over the packaging and marketing of the companies' cold-brew coffee products. The lawsuit, filed in New York, alleges Chobani's La Colombe cold brew uses packaging and a slogan 'strikingly similar' to Danone's Stok coffee. According to the filing, Chobani's product allegedly mimics Danone's 'Bright & Mellow' slogan. The French food and drinks giant said Chobani's infringement of its intellectual property rights has been 'knowing, calculated, and systematic'. 'Not only did Chobani adopt a trademark that was exactly the same as the unique and distinctive BRIGHT & MELLOW trademark used by Danone in connection with ready-to-drink cold brew coffee products, but it significantly altered its product packaging at the same time to more closely match Danone's distinctive packaging as well,' it added. The 'actions enable and have already enabled Chobani to free ride on Danone's reputation and goodwill', the Activia brand owner said. Chobani did not respond to Just Drinks' requests for comment. Danone said: 'We stand by the Stok Cold Brew Coffee brand that we have built and will not comment further on this active litigation.' The legal confrontation is not unprecedented, as Danone has previously sued Chobani at least twice in the past decade over advertising claims. Danone's latest complaint states it began using 'Bright & Mellow' in January 2021 to set itself apart from competitors such as Starbucks and La Colombe. It goes on to say that, after Chobani acquired La Colombe for $900m in December 2023, the US company replaced La Colombe's 'Bright & Flavorful' with 'Bright & Mellow' on its coffee packaging. The changes are 'likely to cause, have caused, and will continue to cause confusion, mistake, and deception in the minds of consumers', particularly in retail outlets such as Kroger, Target, and Walmart. Danone argues the similarities in packaging and slogan could mislead consumers, especially those making quick purchasing decisions. It is seeking a court injunction to prevent Chobani from using the slogan and demands monetary damages, including profits from the sales of the contested products.
