FDA grants speedy approval to Eli Lilly's weight-loss pill for obesity

U.S. health officials have approved a new weight-loss pill from Eli Lilly. The Food and Drug Administration's decision Wednesday means patients in the United States will soon have access to a second daily oral medication to treat obesity and weight-related issues. The drug will be sold as Foundayo and it's expected to begin shipping Monday. Lilly says pricing for people with insurance will start as low as $25 per month. The new pill joins Novo Nordisk’s oral Wegovy pill, which has generated more than 600,000 prescriptions in the U.S. since its approval in December.

Raw dairy farm recalls some cheese products as FDA investigates E. coli outbreak

A California producer of raw milk and cheese products is recalling some of its products under pressure from federal officials. Raw Farm said Thursday it is voluntarily recalling more than a half-dozen varieties of its cheddar cheese made from raw milk. Previously the company had refused repeated requests from the Food and Drug Administration to issue a recall. The FDA is conducting an inspection of the company's facilities after identifying multiple cases of E. coli food poisoning tied to the firm's products. Raw Farm said in a statement that FDA has not detected the bacteria in its products. The company said it issued the recall “under protest.”
