•  Axios reports that Sweetgreen has opened “its first automated salad bar in Naperville, Illinois — 30 miles outside of Chicago … It’s faster, more accurate and more precise, Sweetgreen notes.”

The company says that “guests can watch the technology at work, from dispensing greens and dressing bowls and plates, to evenly dispersing ingredients and mixing salads … Team members add the final touches at the finishing station, with a sprinkle of herbs or a scoop of avocado.”

•  From the Financial Times:

“Ireland is introducing the world’s first requirement for alcoholic drinks to provide health labelling, including calorie content, grammes of alcohol and warnings about cancer, liver disease and drinking while pregnant.”

The requirement takes effect on May 22, 2026, so companies have three years to prepare.

FT notes that the move has “drawn flak in Italy, which has called the move an ‘attack on the Mediterranean diet’.”
