The House has approved a proposal to eliminate $700 million in already-approved funding for public media. If enacted, it would strip essential services and could force rural stations off the air. The Senate will take up the bill next.

The Montana state health department is warning of a recall on rice cereal for infants and babies distributed at Walmart stories and online.

The federal Food and Drug Administration is recalling three lots of Parent’s Choice Rice Baby Cereal after a sample of the products tested above guidance for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic.

The following product lots are recalled:

  • Parent’s Choice Rice Baby Cereal, 8 oz, lot # 21083, date June 24, 2022
  • Parent’s Choice Rice Baby Cereal, 8 oz, lot # 21084, date June 25, 2022
  • Parent’s Choice Rice Baby Cereal, 8 oz, lot # 21242, date Nov. 30, 2022

Adam Meier, director of the Department of Public Health and Human Services, is asking Montanans to check cupboards for the product and discard it.

According to the state health department no illnesses related to the product lots have been reported and the recall is out of an abundance of caution.

Corin Cates-Carney was the Montana Public Radio news director from early 2020 to mid 2025 after spending more than five years living and reporting across Western and Central Montana.
