Food Safety: Publix is recalling GreenWise frozen organic blueberries in multiple states, including North Carolina, after E. coli O145 illnesses tied to a specific lot. Agriculture Budget: Lawmakers approved $186.2M for agriculture and agribusiness, highlighting the sector’s $102B economic impact statewide. Tourism & Small Business: An AP report finds more Americans are vacationing closer to home this summer, which could boost local businesses in places like Asheville.
