• Catfish skin products recalled because of ineligible import status (foodsafetynews.com) — A Hayward-based importer is recalling nearly 1,000 pounds of crispy fish skin snacks sold at California retailers because they were made in China, which isn't allowed to export ready‑to‑eat catfish products to the U.S. If you've bought these branded fish skin crackers, federal officials say don't eat them—throw them away or return them, and contact a doctor if you feel unwell.

Eden High, and played at Chabot College is heading to the Washington Commanders' practice squad after being cut by the Kansas City Chiefs. His journey from local basketball standout to starting NFL left tackle shows how Hayward talent is making its mark on pro football.

• California bills aim to keep data centers from raising utility costs for everyone else (thecooldown.com) — State lawmakers are weighing new rules that could directly affect a massive 77‑megawatt data center planned in Hayward, aiming to keep its power costs and pollution from spilling onto nearby residents. Two proposed Senate bills would force big data centers to cover grid upgrades, join demand‑response programs, and meet strict clean‑energy and zero‑carbon backup standards.
