I keep telling myself to stop making posts about FDA activities…but there are so many products hurting people

fuck it

• ice cream listeria outbreak. again. did you know that illness due to listeria has a 20-30% mortality rate?
• family dollar recalling a bunch of drugs and supplements because they stored them wrong
• lucky charms and cheerios continue to make children and adults sick, the cause is still under investigation, and no recall has been issued. terrifying. that means it is almost definitely not one of the common causes like salmonella…
• daily harvest said tara flour made customers sick. FDA is mad they announced that because the exact cause has still not been found. daily harvest products have given people liver damage so bad they needed to have their gallbladders removed. while the current FDA investigation only involves the leek + lentil crumbles, there are many reports of other daily harvest foods like the flatbreads also harming people. if you have been affected by daily harvest’s bullshit, there is now a subreddit for it.
• revive superfoods also pulling products with tara flour, for also giving people severe liver damage
• several honey products are being recalled for having undisclosed, get this…VIAGRA in them. and cialis. sildenafil and tadalafil.
• CVS is recalling lemon flavored magnesium-based laxatives due to contamination with gluconacetobacter liquefaciens, which can cause life-threatening infections in immunodeficient people.

Remember when the republicans voted to cut FDA funding not tooo long ago? Feels relevant
