trump demands more countries agree to import US food while doing everything he can to lower standards and make your food less safe, I hope they tell him to f#ck right off
"Effective Monday [today], FDA suspended its proficiency testing program for Grade A raw milk + finished products...
because FDA's Moffett Center Proficiency Testing Lab, part of its division overseeing food safety, 'is no longer able to provide lab support for proficiency testing + data analysis'."
As a farm girl, we drank unpasteurized milk from our cows for quite awhile. Then, my father got strep throat. The next day…no more cows. Store bought milk!
It genuinely feels like I have been spending the last three months just staring into a void as the worst possible option is taken on every single thing
Well...actually, most almond milk does come from the US. Mainly California, as it has a shit load of almonds. The brand I get labeled with a "product of the US" and most simple research brings you back to California and their ample supply of nutritious almonds.
Raw milk supporters have either never seen a cow in person, or they reject the Germ Theory of Disease because they’re not smart enough to understand it. An intelligent person would take one look at a cow and immediately understand every problem that pasteurization solves.
Ehh plenty of farm folks drink raw milk. Had a convo with one earlier this year. Basic premise is it tastes better and they personally never got sick so 🤷♀️
This is a dangerous move on Trump's and republicans' part. Milk is in so many foods we eat at home and in restaurants. Dairy foods can be contaminated with many different pathogens, like bird flu. We need to continue milk quality testing.
I have no idea what trump is doing or why - he is insane. Don't forget US milk & beef products are exported - maybe it will cull... wherever you are, ha
I'm not an expert in anything and not in any way pushing back on this cuz ofc we want inspections, but isn't the danger there mostly from raw unpasteurized dairy?
If the tariffs on foreign dairy are high and nobody in the govt will punish you for cutting corners, what's to stop greedy companies from using suppliers they know are shoddy con men akin to the disgusting pre-FDA days & relying on discarding that supplier in outrage when your milk starts wriggling?
Do you eat baked goods, cookies , mashed potatoes? All those creamy things are made with milk . I have no doubt he will stop at dairy products do you ?
Dems should do a campaign not to get people to call Trump.
He won’t care but to get them to call and email and show up at their Congress person‘s events, and if there are no events show up at their fundraisers, constituency office With signs like fix #RepublicanUnsafeMilk
._.; Yeah I was going to say I had to throw out a carton of almond milk just last year because of one of those outbreaks. Luckily even though I had already opened and used some of it I didn't get sick (I do recall reading some people did land in the hospital from that though).
Another step to making America the largest shithole country on the planet. Cut all the trees, let the water go toxic, stop worrying about food safety. Great work, dumbass.
it's more than that. other major ones are unsanitary facilities (not cleaning enough, not using the right procedures), and not giving workers time & access to use restrooms/portapotties & sinks/water pumps
I’m going with wash everything well, cook everything that can be cooked, grow myself or buy at the farmer’s market anything to be eaten raw
This is madness
Nevermind tariffs and quotas on dairy imports to Canada, US dairy products should just be banned. Treat US dairy the same as the US treated Canadian beef during the mad cow disease outbreak.

White milk only.
Great job SCOTUS
I’d like to know - because who actually voted to increase the odds of shtting their pants?
Clearly, they have no sense of irony.

Almond milk
Coconut milk
Soy milk- all better alternatives.
That should piss the dairy industry off.
Dairy milk has vitamin D and calcium, in addition to a lot of protein that most alternatives lack.
Due to the heinous actions of supervillains … Anything we buy could be lethal to us
I’m sorry, this is really terrible and humor is my defense mechanism.
Don’t be a shit drinker.
RFK Junior is a eugenicist and his job is to kill as many Americans as possible.

US FDA Says Fuckit You Are All Going to Die.
All joking aside, we’re gonna fucking die.
