스피릿 항공(NYSE:SAVE)이 파산 신청을 고려 중이라는 소식이 퍼지자, 비판자들은 소셜 미디어를 통해 바이든 행정부를 비난했다. 그 이유는 무엇일까? 올해 1월, 미국 반독점 규제 당국이 제트블루 항공(NASDAQ:JBLU)의 38억 달러에 스피릿 인수를 차단한 사건을 기억해 보자. 실제로 지난 4년 동안, 규제 당국은 경쟁을 저해한다고 판단되는 인수합병 활동을 종종 저지해왔다. 예를 들어 크로거(NYSE:KR)와 앨버트슨(NYSE:ACI)의 250억 달러 규모 합병과 같은 사례가 있다.

<li>Walgreens has plans to expand its use of robot-powered micro-fulfillment centers</li>
<li>The centers currently serve 4,800 stores, and fill more than 16 million prescriptions each month</li>

Walgreens will be expanding its use of prescription-filling robots, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/11/walgreens-doubles-down-on-robots-to-fill-prescriptions-amid-turnaround.html">CNBC</a> reports.
The pharmacy chain began using micro-fulfillment centers in 2021 before pausing the program in 2023 to focus on feedback and improvement. Now, it&#8217;s working to add more in order to free up time for pharmacy staff, reduce time spent on routine tasks, and eliminate inventory waste.
The robot-powered centers fill thousands of prescriptions for patients who use medication to manage conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. With those tasks automated, Walgreens told CNBC its pharmacy staff will have more time to interact directly with patients and perform clinical services like vaccinations and testing.

<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a></li>
</ul>
The company told CNBC it hopes to have 11 micro-fulfillment centers serving 5,000 locations by the end of the year. In February, there were 4,800 stores that utilized the micro-fulfillment centers. On average, these centers handled 40% of the prescription volume at the individual locations, Walgreens says, which translates to about 16 million prescriptions filled each month across all serviced stores.
Kayla Heffington, Walgreens' pharmacy operating model vice president, told CNBC that the company's investment in automation is already paying off. The micro-fulfillment centers have generated $500 million in savings through their increased efficiency and reduction of excess inventory. Stores that use the centers are also administering 40% more vaccines than those that aren't, increasing profits.
"Right now, [the micro-fulfillment centers] are the backbone to really help us offset some of the workload in our stores, to obviously allow more time for our pharmacists and technicians to spend time with patients," Rick Gates, Walgreens' chief pharmacy officer, told CNBC. "It gives us a lot more flexibility to bring down costs, to increase the care and increase speed to therapy – all those things."

Gates added that he sees the micro-fulfillment centers as a competitive advantage for Walgreens, because many independent pharmacies and larger rivals don't have the centralized support. However, many of Walgreens' major competitors, like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Kroger (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>), and Albertsons (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>), already have, or are testing, their own versions of the micro-fulfilment facilities.&nbsp;
There are, of course, risks that come with using these micro-fulfillment centers, like a reliance on sophisticated robotics that can cause major disruptions if errors occur. But for Walgreens, the rewards heavily outweigh the risks.
Heffington told CNBC that the automated locations have helped reduce prescription fulfillment costs by nearly 13% year over year, and have increased prescription volume by 126%. The centers also allow the company to have real-time data on all prescription fulfillments, enabling its employees to provide better customer service.&nbsp;
The renewed push for automation comes as Walgreens prepares to go private in a <a href="https://investor.walgreensbootsalliance.com/news-releases/news-release-details/walgreens-boots-alliance-enters-definitive-agreement-be-acquired">$10 billion deal with Sycamore Partners</a>.

Federal health officials have linked a listeria outbreak that hospitalized 10 people to a California-based food producer, prompting a voluntary recall of ready-to-eat products across four western states.
What Happened: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Saturday that San Fernando-based Fresh &amp; Ready Foods LLC has been identified as the source of contamination that sickened people in California and Nevada, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/listeria-outbreak-food-sick-c11ddb49f357f227797fe42c468115f5">reported</a> the Associated Press. 
The investigation initially began last year but was reopened in April when FDA investigators found listeria in samples collected from Fresh &amp; Ready Foods that matched the strain from the outbreak. 
The contaminated products were distributed to retailers and food service points of sale, including hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports and by airlines in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington, according to the FDA. 
Fresh &amp; Ready Foods has voluntarily recalled several products with &#8220;use by&#8221; dates from April 22 to May 19 under multiple brand names: Fresh &amp; Ready Foods, City Point Market Fresh Food to Go and Fresh Take Crave Away.

Why It Matters: Fresh &amp; Ready Foods said in a news release that it took immediate corrective actions, including removing equipment to address the issue, AP report noted. 
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that test samples from sick patients were collected between December 2023 and September 2024, with six of the 10 affected individuals having been hospitalized before contracting listeria.
This outbreak follows a similar recall by Albertsons Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) which voluntarily recalled 12 types of ReadyMeals and deli items supplied by Fresh Creative Foods due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41310010/listeria-scare-prompts-albertsons-to-recall-certain-ready-to-eat-meals-in-multiple-states?utm_source=chatgpt.com">potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes</a>. 
That recall was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41310010/listeria-scare-prompts-albertsons-to-recall-certain-ready-to-eat-meals-in-multiple-states?utm_source=chatgpt.com">triggered after routine tests</a> by the U.S. Department of Agriculture&#8217;s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) detected contamination in a ready-to-eat chicken ingredient from BrucePac in Durant, Oklahoma. 
The recalled items were sold across several major retail chains including Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Vons, and stores across several states, including California, Texas, Illinois, and Washington.
