CVS and Walgreens have expanded their pharmacy services to dispense abortion pills, specifically mifepristone, in over 20 states combined, following FDA approval and political pressure. The expansion began in 2024, with CVS launching in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and later expanding to 22 states and the District of Columbia, including California, New York, and Nevada. Walgreens completed FDA certification in 2024 and began a phased rollout in several states, including New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. The move follows advocacy by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, who pushed for consistent access in Nevada. While other retailers like Walmart, Albertsons, and Costco have declined to offer the medication, Kroger and Sam’s Club previously indicated availability but later retracted claims due to a third-party error. Pro-life groups have criticized the expansion, urging the companies to halt dispensing, and the companies emphasize patient safety and regulatory compliance.

U.S. food manufacturers are responding to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 'Make America Healthy Again' initiative by planning to eliminate synthetic food dyes from their products. The move follows concerns about potential health impacts such as ADHD, obesity, and diabetes. Major companies including Mars, Hershey, J.M. Smucker, Conagra Brands, Nestlé USA, General Mills, Kraft Heinz, Sam's Club, Tyson Foods, WK Kellogg, and Kellanova have announced plans to remove or phase out artificial colors from their products, with specific timelines ranging from 2026 to 2027.

Shares of BJ's Wholesale Club declined 3.7% following Amazon's announcement of an aggressive expansion of its same-day grocery delivery service to over 3,300 U.S. cities, including perishable items like produce, meat, and dairy. This move intensified competitive pressures in the grocery sector, affecting stocks of other players such as Instacart and Kroger. Despite a strong fourth-quarter performance with a 4.6% increase in comparable club sales and a 26% surge in digital sales, BJ's full-year EPS guidance missed Wall Street forecasts, raising concerns about margin pressures and economic uncertainty. The stock has risen 19.3% year-to-date but remains 12.3% below its 52-week high of $119.94 set in April 2025.
