Sheryl Crow Has Benign Brain
Tumor
After being diagnosed with a benign brain tumor, singer-songwriter
Sheryl Crow described it as a “bump in the road” and told fans not to
worry about her.
“Please don’t worry about my ‘brain tumor,’ it’s a noncancerous growth.
I know some folks can have problems with this kind of thing, but I want to
assure everyone I’m OK,” Crow wrote on her Facebook page, CNN
reported.
She was diagnosed with meningioma a few months ago. She doesn’t require
surgery for this common type of brain tumor but will have periodic brain
scans to monitor its growth.
“It’s a tumor that typically grows between the outer layer of the brain
and the brain itself. So it’s not actually inside the brain,” explained
CNN Chief Medical Correspondent and neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta.
Depending on the size, some people have this type of tumor removed
immediately while others may never need surgery or treatment, Gupta
said.
Crow is a breast cancer survivor.

‘Pink Slime’ Rejected by Most School
Districts
A beef product widely referred to as “pink slime” is off the menu in
most school districts across the United States.
The vast majority of states that participate in the National School
Lunch Program have decided to order ground beef that doesn’t contain the
filler product known as lean finely textured beef, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture said.
The USDA said only three states — Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota —
ordered beef that may contain the filler, the Associated Press
reported.
After a public outcry early this year, the USDA said in March that it
would change its policy and offer schools the choice to purchase beef
without the filler for the 2012-13 school year.
Lean finely textured beef is made of fatty beef chunks that are heated
and then treated with ammonia to kill bacteria. The USDA says it’s a safe,
affordable and nutritious product, the AP reported.

Settlement Close in Listeria Outbreak
Lawsuits: Lawyers
A settlement may be pending in lawsuits against a Colorado farm
identified as the source of last fall’s listeria outbreak that involved
cantaloupes and caused at least 30 deaths and sickened 146 people in 28
states, lawyers said Monday.
The lawsuits were filed against Jensen Farms by people who became ill
or had a family member die in the United States’ deadliest outbreak of
foodborne illness in 25 years, the Associated Press reported.
A deal could be finalized by fall, according to attorneys for both
sides. The settlement could also include a company that did a safety audit
of the farm and a company that makes and imports food-processing
equipment, said Bill Marler, a lawyer for 39 of the plaintiffs.
The proposed settlement under discussion would establish a victims’
fund of $4 million, the AP reported.
The outbreak was likely caused by dirty water on the floor and old,
difficult-to-clean equipment, according to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
