The Daily Money
 
Monday, January 30

Happy Monday! It's Charisse Jones with the Daily Money headlines to get your week started. 

Ford, Hyundai and BMW are among the car manufacturers who are recalling over 391,000 vehicles for reasons ranging from faulty camera systems to leaky fuel tanks.  

The carmakers reported the issues to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week. 

The recalled vehicles include 382,759 Ford Explorers, Corsair SUVs and Lincoln Aviators that have a flawed back-up camera system that turns the video monitor blue, and 326 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Plug-in cars with faulty fuel tanks.

To see if your vehicle is being recalled, check USA TODAY's automotive recall database or the database provided by the NHTSA.

The food industry also had a recall. Nearly 53,000 pounds of sausage products from Rhode Island-based Daniele International LLC are being recalled because they might be contaminated with listeria, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

No illnesses have been reported, but the ready-to-eat salamis and Italian- and Spanish-style charcuterie platters were marketed under several brand names.

Business lunches in 2022 get a big tax break 

Companies and small business owners filling out their 2022 returns may be in for a treat.

If they bought business-related meals and beverages for their employees from a restaurant in 2021 and 2022, they could deduct 100% of the cost. That's up from the 50% deduction for those meals that was in place before the pandemic.

But the deduction doesn't apply if you bought your staffers lunch from a supermarket or vending machine. And it will drop back down to 50% this year.
