This latest appointment that President Trump has made. This is not draining the swamp! Adding extra ammonia into a product for human consumption is ridiculous. Ammonia is toxic. One small hamburger made from pink slime makes me deathly ill after the chemical exposure to Benzalkonium. For most it is more like a slow kill product. Too much ammonia in your body can cause psychological problems like confusion, tiredness, and possibly coma or death. A child's reaction to too much ammonia can include seizures, breathing difficulties, and potentially death. We already have way too much extraneous crap being added to our food supply already. We don't need more sellouts atn FDA we already have way too many in our federal government agencies selling out our health and well being in favor of commercial crap.
I hope he pulls this nomination!
Texas Tech’s Brashears nominated for top USDA food-safety post | 2018-05-04 | Agri-Pulse
President Donald Trump is tapping Texas Tech Professor Mindy Brashears to take over the government’s highest food safety job.
Trump said today he plans to nominate Brashears, the director of Texas Tech’s International Center for Food Industry Excellence, as USDA’s next Undersecretary for Food Safety. The job requires Senate confirmation.
The White House said in a release that Brashears focuses much of her research on improving food safety standards.
“Her work evaluates interventions in pre- and post-harvest environments and on the emergence of antimicrobial drug resistance in animal feeding systems and has resulted in the commercialization of a pre-harvest feed additive that can reduce E. coli and Salmonella in cattle,” according to the release. She is also a past chair of the National Alliance for Food Safety and Security and of the USDA multi-state research group.
Brashears appeared as an expert witness last year for Beef Products Inc., helping the Sioux City, Iowa, food company negotiate a multimillion settlement from ABC News. The company had sued ABC, alleging it had been disparaged by the news organization when it described a beef product as “pink slime.” Brashears told the jury that BPI’s lean finely textured beef is meat, is beef, is nutritious and is entirely safe to eat...........................more at link
