    These are “people” that have never read The Jungle.

    (Assuming they’ve ever read any book at all…)

    Guess we’ll be expanding our diet to maggots, bug parts, and salmonella/e-coli whether we want them or not.

    🙄 🤡 🖕

    That’s easily going to cost Americans Billions in addition healthcare that we already can’t afford

      Food testing isn’t really needed when the food runs out. This administration is just thinking ahead.

    Canadians already mostly stopped buying food from US sources because of the tarrifs, this will be another added reason to stop buying US sourced food.

    Hey buy our extra expensive food, now with extra fungus and bacteria! Exta extra illness, buy it while it’s fresh!

    Let the mass poisonings … BEGIN!

    USA currently ranks 49th for life expectancy at birth and will be going lower fast. What a shithole country.

    Remember to thoroughly cook your food and wash your hands. Including fruit and vegetables now, apparently.

      wont stop the toxins from poisoning you, most bacterial toxins are heat stable. the most problematic bacteria would E.coli O15:H7 since it produces a nasty toxin that cause uremic syndrome, and hemorrhagic diarrhea. its a problem when the bacteriophage is present which carries the plasmid for the toxins which infects bacteria giving them the toxin produciing abilities. some bacterial toxins come from lysogenic bacteriophages(viruses), otherwise the bacteria would be most harmless

    Never been a better time to try meat alternatives like Quorn or Impossible, which likely will be far less risky compared to unregulated Upton Sinclair meat 2.0.

    Especially Quorn, which is made in Ireland and thus has to pass EU safety inspections.

      Especially those meat alternatives are in danger. Have you ever looked up the ingredients and especially the chemicals put into a “vegan nugget”?

      Any industry now f-ing up one chemicals’ purity and safety can really do a number on a lot of people who thought they took the safer route.

        Farther down in another comment, I point out to another user that the ingredients of Impossible beef are quite mundane and not at all concerning. Here’s the ingredients list for Impossible Chicken nuggets:

        Water, Wheat Flour, Soy Protein Concentrate, Soybean Oil, Sunflower Oil, Potato Starch, Methylcellulose, Natural Flavors, Salt, Cultured Dextrose, Wheat Gluten, Yeast Extract, Yellow Corn Flour, Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Sugar, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Spices, Leavening (Cream of Tartar, Sodium Bicarbonate), Dried Yeast, Paprika Extract (for color), Vitamin E (Tocopherols), Zinc, Vitamins (B3, B5, B1, B6, B2, and B12)

        None of those jump out as particularly unhealthy or dangerous to me. The Soybean oil probably isn’t the best for you due to not being expeller pressed, but otherwise, nothing that would kill you.
