    It’s going to be fun when the trump administration kneecaps the FDA and deregulates the food industry. We will get far fewer warnings like this, and dear leader will tout that as evidence that the food supply is much safer.

    One day it’s Listeria, the next it’s Salmonella, and the next it’s Bird Flu.

    At this rate, whether you’re a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore, everyone is at risk of eating basically anything. But it’s okay, as the grocery prices rise, we gradually get used to eating less, so eventually we won’t need to eat anything anyways…

      No worries, in less than a month we won’t need to worry about reading about so many FDA recalls anymore…

      And stupid people in this country will see that as a win, as their neighbors die from preventable illness

    I’ve been living overseas for decades and this shit never happens in other countries. Why is this a constant problem in the States?

      We have an FDA with less and less power and a culture of ruthless capitalism that thinks the baseline set by the government is still too high and needs to spend all effort cutting as many corners as possible to make the largest profit.

      It was about a decade ago that Germany had a big problem. They blamed Spain. A bunch of Spanish produce sat in giant piles and rotted. The actual culprit was German spinach
