The latest products recalled due to salmonella concerns include radishes, mangoes, alfalfa spouts, granola, and jalapeos and the many, many premade dishes that include them as ingredients. A number of food products were recalled this month for other concerning reasons, including glass in fruit popsicles; metal in sourdough; and, most recently, ink in tofu. Salmonella's just the tip of the iceberg"lettuce, that is. American consumers are still reeling from the past few months' deadly cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce sourced from Taylor Farms facilities and recalls of frozen blueberries for potential E. coli contamination.

Trump/MAGA.

It is a virus that explains everything sick.

It will get worse, because Trump/MAGA thinks that it is sane.

Nothing could reflect better on MAGA than our food safety going quite literally to shit thanks to Elmo and Dotard.

When these candidates talk about getting rid of "job killing regulations" these are what they mean.

Food safety
Water safety
Air safety
Groundsoil safety

DOGE gutted departments on the promise of saving $2T and saved nothing. What happened was departments with decades of history of tracking these food born illnesses were destroyed through firings and retirements.

This is what happens when you elect a greed driven sociopath hell bent on collecting as much in bribes as he can from corporate america.

No one need look further than at the beginning of the cyclosporasis outbreak Taylor farms were identified as the source and the CEO paid dotard a visit with a $1,000,000 check and suddenly that finding was an "error".

That's what capitalism does. It corrupts everything because paying bribes is cheaper than having proper food safety systems.
