AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Scam Watch: Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker data put Callao, Mo., tied with 92 other Missouri cities for 68th place in July scam reports, with one reported online purchase scam causing a $52.97 loss—another reminder that fraud losses keep climbing nationwide. Public Health & Safety: FDA-listed recalls hit hospitals: B. Braun recalled certain 0.9% sodium chloride IV bags after particulate concerns, and Baxter recalled other lots—both tied to potential serious complications if used. Legal/Regulatory: Missouri’s intoxicating hemp product ban is back in federal court, with industry arguing the law is unclear and contradictory, while the state says it’s enforceable because hemp-derived products are treated as marijuana under specific definitions. Energy Costs: Gas prices remain jumpy; in Macon County, midgrade averaged $4.14 per gallon for the week ending Aug. 22, and Missouri’s midgrade average rose to $4.21. Local Governance: Columbia City Council members may revisit Flock street-surveillance cameras amid ongoing resident trust concerns. Food Retail: Whole Foods guacamole recall was upgraded to the FDA’s highest-risk Class I after possible salmonella contamination, including sales in Missouri. Workforce/Industry: A Missouri city is weighing limits on data centers as power costs rise, with an 18-month moratorium under consideration.
