California health officials are urging consumers not to eat recalled organic eggs after a salmonella outbreak sickened 23 people and hospitalized seven.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced last week that the outbreak has been linked to Happy Hens brand organic eggs produced at the company’s Ramona, California, farm. The company voluntarily recalled the eggs on Sept. 8.

“Consumers should throw away recalled eggs or return to place of purchase for a refund. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider if they become sick with symptoms of Salmonella infection within 7 days of eating this product,” CDPH said.

As of Sept. 8, the outbreak had sickened 23 California residents, sending seven people to the hospital. No deaths have been reported.

“Because this outbreak is considered ongoing, additional recent illnesses linked to this outbreak may still be identified,” CDPH said.

The recalled products include all grades and sizes of Happy Hens organic in-shell eggs with egg handler code CA-0677, as well as the following lot codes and sell-by dates:

• Sell By Sept. 10 (Lot 223)
• Sell By Sept. 13 (Lot 226)
• Sell By Sept. 24 (Lot 237)

The eggs were sold in one-dozen and 18-count cartons, 20- and 30-count flats for consumers, as well as 15-dozen food service cases. 

The products were distributed to restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets across Southern California and the Central Coast.

They were also sold directly at the company’s Ramona farm, CDPH said.

According to CDPH, investigators identified Happy Hens eggs as the likely source of the outbreak following interviews of people who became ill.

“Most people recover without medical treatment,” CDPH said. “But for some people, the symptoms may be so severe that treatment or hospitalization is needed. Children younger than 5 years of age, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely than others to get very sick.”

FOX Business reached out to Happy Hens for comment.

The Sunderland firm reported a small drop in revenues due to lower wind speeds in 2025

Renewables firm OnPath Energy says it is continuing to invest in its growth strategy despite seeing a small drop in revenues as lower wind speeds cut power generation.

The Sunderland-headquartered firm, which was formed by the acquisition of the renewable energy elements of County Durham’s Banks Group, recorded a turnover of £73.4m and an operating profit of £22.7m for the 12 months to the end of 2025.

That compared to a turnover of £95.7m and operating profit of £69.4m during 2024, though those figures related to a 15-month period.

OnPath said that the year saw “below average wind speeds and lower merchant power prices compared to the previous period”. The group’s wind farms in the North and Scotland had a combined capacity of 252MW at the end of the financial year.

OnPath said that it is growing its development pipeline and expects to bring forward several new project proposals in England in the coming months, while it is currently exploring a range of potential new development locations across England, Scotland and Wales.

It acquired the Milton Keynes Wind Farm in Buckinghamshire and Pates Hill Wind Farm in West Lothian at the beginning of 2025 and has since entered into an option agreement to acquire a majority stake in three onshore wind farms under development in South Lanarkshire.

Earlier this year, the company completed the sale of seven English onshore wind farms to The ERG Group, releasing capital to support the development of new onshore wind farms across the UK.

Simon Fisher, chief financial officer at OnPath Energy, said: “Onshore wind energy is playing an increasingly important role in the UK’s long-term energy security strategy while also delivering significant supply chain investment, UK jobs, improving energy affordability and social benefits for local communities, local supply chain businesses and the wider economy.

“Wind yields in 2025 were below average, but we have still delivered solid commercial returns while continuing the evolution of the business towards a primary focus on developing and building new onshore wind farms across the UK.

“In the coming months, we will add another 73MW capacity to our operating portfolio with the energisation of Mill Rig Wind Farm in South Lanarkshire and the Barnsdale Solar Park in West Yorkshire, with the commissioning of the Common Farm Solar Park in South Yorkshire then set to follow.

“Acquisitions and divestments continue to be a critical part of our growth strategy, with capital reinvestment helping us bring forward new projects, which in turn creates jobs and supply chain opportunities for UK businesses, improves energy affordability for UK consumers while also accelerating our contribution to a fair and inclusive just transition.”

OnPath said it aims to spend around two-thirds of its investments in the local supply chains of its wind farms, while it had awarded more than £1.2m in grants from the community funds linked to each of its onshore sites to local good causes.

New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson, along with his family, announced on Tuesday the launch of Thirty Third Management Group, a family-owned brand advisory firm that will manage his off-court business as well as represent clients across pro sports, business and philanthropy. 

It’s been quite the year for Brunson, as he was the leader of a Knicks team that broke a 53-year NBA title drought, and he won NBA Finals MVP in the process. The “King of New York” moniker has followed him ever since, with the Knicks faithful forever indebted to him and his teammates for the pure joy they brought the city. 

But if Brunson wasn’t a star already on the hardwood, winning the NBA title in New York vaulted him into a different stratosphere, and business opportunities and more were sure to follow.

Now, with his own firm and his family’s back, Brunson is not only helping himself but looking forward to doing the same for others with their business development, charitable work and more. 

“My family has been with me every step of the way, and everything we do is rooted in trust,” he said in a statement. “Thirty Third gives us the chance to take ownership of my off-court business, to build something that reflects who we are, and to do it together.”

KNICKS STAR JALEN BRUNSON IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, REVEALS THE ONE THING HE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT

The firm’s name comes from the beginning of Brunson’s career, where the Dallas Mavericks selected him 33rd overall out of Villanova in the 2018 NBA Draft. He has since built a reputation defined as much by his character and leadership as by what he has accomplished on the court. 

Sandra Brunson, Jalen’s mother, who has been managing his off-court business for eight years, will serve as Thirty Third Management Group president. Erica Brunson, his sister, will serve as director of client services, while Connor Cashaw, a friend and former high school teammate at Stevenson High School in Illinois, will be the director of business development. Both Erica and Connor have been a part of Jalen’s team since 2024 and 2025, respectively.

This firm was born from a belief that the most powerful brands are built on trust, purpose, and genuine human connection,” Erica Brunson said in a statement. “As a family, we’ve had the privilege of supporting Jalen’s growth beyond basketball, and that experience inspired us to create an advisory platform that helps others do the same. 

“We are committed to helping our clients maximize opportunities, whether in professional sports, business, or philanthropy, and want to be a strategic partner that champions both success and significance.”

So, while Brunson will serve as the firm’s foundational client, Thirty Third Management Group was built with the wider goal of advising athletes, NIL talent, executives, entrepreneurs and charitable foundations on brand development, partnership strategy, business development and more. 

Also, a priority of the firm from the outset will be in women’s sports, a category the firm’s leadership views as “historically underserved,” with Erica leading that effort.

Asked about the message the decision sent to Trump, Warsh chuckled before saying “I have got nothing for you on a discussion with the president,” as he batted away similar questions with the same response.

The Federal Reserve is independent of the government, but has faced sharp criticism from Trump over its decisions on rates in recent years.

Trump was heavily critical of Warsh’s predecessor Jerome Powell, who stepped down at the end of his term earlier this year, for not cutting rates.

Following Wednesday’s announcement, Trump said rates should be cut to “1%, or less”.

“LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!”, he posted on social media.

Earlier a White House press secretary Kush Desai told Fox News the president and White House had “reiterated our commitment to the independence of the Federal Reserve on numerous occasions” but added it did not prevent Trump being able to voice his opinions.

Warsh said at the press conference that “part of the independence of the Federal Reserve is we stay in our lane”.

This hike by the Fed is the first move rate move in any direction since they were cut in December 2025. The last time they were raised was in July 2023.

A 0.25pp increase will likely add to increasing mortgage rates for homebuyers, as the rates set by banks and other lenders are heavily influenced by the Fed’s policy rate.

Major US banks JP Morgan, KeyCorp and BNY raised their prime lending rate on Wednesday to 7% from 6.75% in response, which will rates charged on credit cards and personal loans.

Mortgage costs have climbed over the past year but remain below peaks seen in 2023. A 30-year fixed deal is 6.76% on average, while a 15-year deal is 6.09%, according to figures from Freddie Mac.

Due to many US homeowners having 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, changes to interest rates will not impact monthly repayments, though they could affect those looking to secure a loan for a home or refinance.

Warsh declined to provide his own view on where he saw interest rates going into the future, but the majority of his fellow policymakers said they believe rates would be hiked again before the end of this year to between 4-4.25%.

A small majority said rates could rise further to the 4.25-4.5% next year, before cuts begin in 2028 and 2029.

The forecast suggested price rises will ease in the coming years, with inflation, the measure used to assess the cost of living, predicted to fall steadily to the Fed’s 2% target by 2029.

The US is not alone in tackling the inflation impact from the conflict in the Middle East, with the European Central Bank raising rates last week and the Bank of England set to make its own decision on Thursday.
