Taco shells under scrutiny for StarLink corn in shells
Government probes whether Taco Bell branded shells contain Aventis StarLink biotech corn not approved for human consumption due to potential allergenicity. Tests by an anti-biotech group found Cry9C protein in suburban Washington samples. Kraft Foods may recall if confirmed. FDA and EPA weigh actions as Aventis maintains separation rules, while critics urge stronger safety testing and labeling.

Arkansas Attorney General warned of hoax letters sent to elderly Black residents promising $5000 in slave reparations or Social Security refunds. The letters seek names, addresses, phone numbers and Social Security numbers to steal identities. Officials noted the scam targets seniors and church and senior centers, with the National Victims Registrar as the supposed recipient. No confirmed identity theft cases yet.
