FDA fails once again to protect consumers



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Instead of focusing on slaughterhouses that improperly cut beef, forcing cow feces all over meat heading out to consumers, the FDA is instead giving the go ahead to add in some new mixture that is supposed to knock out "up to 99.9%" of E. coli. Maybe this solution will work and maybe not, but why doesn't the FDA worry more about the root cause of the problem or does the cattle industry provide too many campaign contributions to the GOP who have ravaged the FDA? The E. coli problem is considerably less of a problem outside of the US, where other countries demand better consumer protection. What a novel idea.
