American Food and Drug Administration outlawed the manufacture
and sale of fruit- and mint-flavoured e-cigarette cartridges, amid
“epidemic levels” of use among young people. Health groups said
they were perplexed by why tobacco and menthol cartridges were
still allowed, and why the restrictions do not apply to vaping tanks.
One of American biggest milk producers filed for bankruptcy protection.
Borden Dairy traces its roots to 1856, when its founder patented
the process for condensing milk. The business expanded by supplying
Union troops during the civil war and in 1936 adopted the “Elsie”
cartoon advertising brand. But along with other milk producers,
Borden faces a cow of a market. Dairy-milk consumption has
dropped by 40% per person since 1975, as consumers switch to
milk alternatives, such as soy, and other beverages. Not everybody
has got milk in their fridge these days.
