In a recent development, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall on three soft drink products produced by Charles Boggini Company. The recall was initiated by the company due to undeclared ingredients in their Pink Lemonade, Cola Flavoring Base, and Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X. These undisclosed components have now been classified by their risk level, helping consumers make informed decisions regarding their health and wellbeing.

Understanding the Risk Levels:
The FDA classifies health hazards into three levels: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I indicates the most severe risk, where the product has the potential to cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.” Class II signifies that exposure or use of the product might result in temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. Class III denotes a situation where the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.

Recall Details:
The recalled soft drinks include 28 gallons of Pink Lemonade, 2,723 gallons of the Cola Flavoring Base, and 112 gallons of Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X. The Pink Lemonade and Cola Flavoring Base were classified as Class II health hazards, while the Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X products received a Class III categorization. It’s important to note that these recalls were voluntary and initiated by Charles Boggini Company in March this year.

Undisclosed Ingredients:
The Pink Lemonade was found to contain undeclared FD&C Red No. 40, the Cola Flavoring Base contained undisclosed sulfites, and the Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X contained undeclared FD&C Yellow No. 5.

FD&C Red No. 40:
FD&C Red No. 40, also known as E129, is a red dye used in a wide range of products worldwide. While various organizations agree that dietary exposure to this dye is generally not a health concern, some studies have suggested potential links to allergies, migraines, and mental disorders, particularly ADHD in children. Consequently, the FDA mandates that any product containing this dye must declare it as an ingredient. Failure to comply can lead to product recalls.

Sulfites:
Sulfites, commonly used as preservatives in food products, were found in the Cola Flavoring Base. Although the FDA requires sulfites to be declared in food products with a level over 10 ppm (parts per million), some individuals may have sensitivities to sulfites. These sensitivities can manifest as skin reactions, digestive issues, or respiratory problems.

FD&C Yellow No. 5:
The Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X were found to contain FD&C Yellow No. 5, also called tartrazine or E102. This synthetic food dye is commonly used in soda, colored candy, and pastries. For individuals with asthma or an aspirin intolerance, allergic and intolerance reactions may occur.

Customer safety and well-being are of utmost importance, and the voluntary recall by Charles Boggini Company, along with FDA classifications of the health hazards posed by undeclared ingredients, demonstrates their commitment to consumer protection. By being aware of the potential risks associated with undisclosed ingredients, individuals can make informed choices and support a culture of transparency in the food and beverage industry.

NASA is gearing up for another milestone in space exploration with the upcoming Boeing Crew Flight Test. This test will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to and from the International Space Station (ISS). And guess what? NASA is providing live coverage of the entire mission, from launch activities to docking at the ISS.

Scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, at 10:52 a.m. EDT, the ULA Atlas V rocket and Boeing Starliner spacecraft will blast off from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The spacecraft will dock to the forward-facing port of the ISS’s Harmony module on Thursday, June 6, at approximately 12:15 p.m.

Wilmore and Williams will spend about a week at the ISS, conducting tests on the Starliner spacecraft and its subsystems. This is an important step for NASA as they work towards certifying the transportation system for future missions to the ISS. The Commercial Crew Program aims to make space travel more accessible and cost-effective through partnerships with American private industry.

Now, let’s talk about NASA’s extensive coverage of this mission. Starting at 6:45 a.m. EDT on June 5, you can catch the launch coverage on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and the agency’s website. The launch itself will take place at 10:52 a.m., followed by continuous coverage leading up to docking, hatch opening, and welcome remarks. Make sure to tune in for the postlaunch news conference at 12:30 p.m., where key figures such as NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and Vice President and Program Manager of Commercial Crew Program, Boeing, Mark Nappi, will provide updates and insights.

Media personnel will have the opportunity to ask questions during the news conferences, either in person or via phone. Limited auditorium space will be available for in-person participation, so it’s important to contact the Kennedy newsroom in advance to secure a spot.

On June 6, the day of docking, coverage will resume at 9:30 a.m. on NASA+, the NASA app, YouTube, NASA Television, and the agency’s website. The docking itself is targeted for 12:15 p.m., followed by hatch opening at 2 p.m. and welcome remarks at 2:20 p.m. The post-docking news conference will take place at NASA’s Johnson Space Center at 3:30 p.m., featuring participants such as NASA Associate Administrator Jim Free and Manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Steve Stich.

All these times are estimates and could change based on real-time operations. Stay updated by following the space station blog for the latest information.

But what if you can’t watch the entire coverage? Don’t worry, NASA has you covered. Audio-only coverage of the news conferences and launch activities will be available on the NASA “V” circuits. Plus, NASA’s Launch Information Service and Amateur Television System will provide launch audio on specific radio frequencies.

If you prefer a visual experience, you can catch a live video feed of the launch from Space Launch Complex-41 on NASA Kennedy’s YouTube channel. The feed will be uninterrupted until four hours prior to launch, when the prelaunch broadcast begins on NASA Television.

For additional information and updates, visit NASA’s website before, during, and after the launch. They will be providing live streaming, blog updates, on-demand videos, and photos of the mission.

Are you unable to attend the launch in person? No problem! You can still experience the excitement virtually. NASA’s virtual guest program offers registered attendees curated launch resources, notifications about related opportunities or changes, and even a stamp for the NASA virtual guest passport following the launch.

Lastly, don’t forget to engage with NASA and fellow space enthusiasts on social media. Use the hashtags #Starliner and #NASASocial to let people know you’re following the mission. Tag and follow NASA and other relevant accounts on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for more updates and behind-the-scenes content.

If you prefer Spanish-language coverage, NASA en Español is at your service. Check out their X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube pages for additional mission coverage.

This Boeing Crew Flight Test is not only an important step for NASA and the Commercial Crew Program but also a significant achievement in human spaceflight history. It paves the way for future missions to the Moon and eventually Mars. So, mark your calendars, set your reminders, and get ready to witness another remarkable moment in space exploration!
