"The FDA said it was first notified of an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes linked to the product on Nov. 25 last year "with many ill people residing in long-term care facilities (LTCF) prior to illness onset."

Biden's FDA

@#1 ... Biden's FDA ...

No, Pres Trump's FDA.

Outbreak Investigation of Listeria monocytogenes: Frozen Supplemental Shakes (February 2025)
www.fda.gov

... Do not sell or serve recalled Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial Frozen Supplemental Shakes. FDA's investigation is ongoing. ...


Or is your current alias implicitly admitting that Pres Trump's FDA would not be as protective of Americans as fmr Pres Biden's FDA has been?

Per the cited link "Frozen shakes sold to nursing homes, hospitals and other institutions have been recalled after the drinks were tied to a yearslong deadly listeria outbreak, the FDA said on Friday." Weird.

"Biden's FDA"

Let's get rid of the FDA then, obviously they can't do anything right.

Trump's FDA won't do any better, because the entire concept of the FDA is Woke.

From the FDA:

According to CDC, this outbreak includes cases dating back to 2018, with 20 cases across 2024 and 2025, and is currently ongoing. Epidemiologic evidence in previous investigations were unable to identify a source of the outbreak. As of February 21, 2025, a total of 38 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from 21 states. Of the 38 people for whom information is available, 37 people have been hospitalized. Eleven deaths have been reported. Of the 38 people for whom information is available, 34 (89%) reported living in long term care facilities or were hospitalized prior to becoming sick. Records reviewed from facilities indicated nutritional shakes were available to residents.

I prefer to think of it as our/America's FDA, but if you want to politicize it: Trump and Biden's FDA.

I feel so much safer now. This will fix everything I'm sure:

Scoop: As federal health agencies are gutted, Kyle Diamantas, a Florida attorney w/ a slim resume + no prior gov't experience, is the new head of food safety at @US_FDA. Turns out, he's Donald Trump Jr.'s hunting buddy,

America's Food Safety Is Now in the Hands of Don Jr.'s Hunting Buddy

As federal health agencies are gutted with abandon, a Florida attorney with a history of hunting with the president's son has been put in charge of food safety at the FDA, overseeing the nation's food supply, infant formula, and more.

With no FDA, a lot more people will be mysteriously dying from something for some reason
