We Always Needed to Question Food Safety ! ARE THEY NUTS ??????
Yeah right!!! Now !
China isn't the only country that has trouble poilcing it's food industry.
500 people have fallen ill and health authorities believe eight deaths may be linked to salmonella contaminated peanut products.The culprit,a Georgia processing plant, Peanut Corp. of America.
Lax enforcement of loose federal and state regulations makes it easy for tainted products to glide into the food chain.
It seems no law required the plant to tell state inspectors in 2006 that it had detected salmonella a dozen times in 2007 and 2008.In fact when the initial test showed contamination, the company got a clean bill of health from a different laboratory. So this product has been out there for awhile.
Makes you wonder how many others are out there ,and has this been done before.
Do you really have to wonder ?
Now....., Georgia lawmakers are upset. ...Now ?
Now they want to propose companies to report their testing results to authorities.
In my opinion they should be equally angry that the Georgia Department of Agriculture inspectors didn't shut them down in 2006 when it discovered florishing strains of salmonella!
The Food and Drug Admin. should not escape a thrashing either !
I find all of this to be incompetence and incomprehensible !
As if our new president doesn't have enough on his plate, but to launch an investigation of the FDA and a criminal investigation of Peanut Corp.
In any case, a closer examination why the government has failed to police the food on our tables is fully warranted.
My advice, take PBJ's off the menu !
At least for awhile.
If not forever !
I know Goddess !
They have a first class Elite Pass straight to the devil !
Quiets kept, always had one with their names on it !
No telling how many people have been sick or will be because they don't know.
We think everyone knows, but would be surprize as to those who stay on top of the news.In a minute the food supply is going to be scarce, or folks won't be able to afford like now.
When the president makes the adjustments necessary, a lot of them will be shut down.Getting back to basics is coming sooner than we think !
Blessed are those who have land and their own gardens.
God Bless the child !
