I know you didn't mean me. The anger, seethes and grows when corporations take the 19th century as role models. That means the anger is a good thing.

You'd think corporations would have more of a care of people, not animals, can't expect that. But, as I've said, the pet food people don't worry that much about doing in pets, because they know we'll always find more. Now, I realize that other corporations don't worry too much about the people since paying off the fines isn't that big a deal to them (fines are deductions before taxes as an expense of doing business so they lose no money at all with fines) and with things as they are there will always be more people to buy their stuff.

I think Upton Sinclair's The Jungle should still be required reading in late elementary school as it was when I was there. Also Unsafe at any speed would be a good historical read.

As much as they push toward the 19th century, we must hold on to the glimmers of hope.

US - According to information released by the FDA in December 2021, fresh-cut fruit from Taylor Cut Produce, which was eventually recalled, was the likely culprit in the Salmonella Javiana outbreak.

The company recalled an undisclosed amount of its “Fruit Luau” that was linked to the outbreak. At that time the company reported the implicated fruit was distributed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware between Nov. 15 and Dec. 1. Tailor Cut Produce officials said the recalled product could be in restaurants, banquet facilities, hotels, schools, and institutional food service establishments.

This is for the US - two items

First a little about FDA warning letters, which is a little scary - "Some letters are not posted for public view until weeks or months after they are sent. Business owners have 15 days to respond to FDA warning letters. Warning letters often are not issued until a company has been given months to years to correct problems. The FDA frequently redacts parts of warning letters posted for public view.

In a Dec. 23 warning letter, the FDA described an Aug. 5-26, 2021, Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) inspection of Aroma Imports Inc. in Dearborn Heights, MI.

The FDA’s inspection revealed that the firm was not in compliance with FSVP regulations and resulted in the issuance of an FDA Form 483a."

Whether commingled in those shipping containers stacked up at U.S. ports or moved across a southern border run by cartels, there are more opportunities for meat smuggling into the United States than ever before.
