Now that's prompt action! Whew! I think that everyone has learned a clear lesson with this experience, that if you sell tainted - and deadly - food, the FDA will eventually roll out of bed, have a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, think about the TV schedule for that night, take a serious nap, watch American Idol, go back to sleep and then wait a few weeks until there's a firestorm about the FDA being industry lapdogs and then - bam! - spring into action. How would we survive without the FDA? Oh that's right, we don't. People die because the FDA has been destroyed by the previous Republican congress.
Federal agents searched facilities of a dog and cat food manufacturer and one of its suppliers as part of an investigation into the widening recall of pet products, the companies disclosed Friday.What makes this sorry excuse for action even worse is that these problems were known weeks before the actual recall, so the FDA was even slower to respond to this deadly problem that is now impacting the human food source.
