Food Safety? Who needs it! Trump guts the FDA

[JLW]

The head of the food division at the US Food and Drug Administration has quit in protest over sweeping staff cuts that he warns will hamper the agency’s ability to protect public health.

Jim Jones, who joined the agency in September 2023, cited “indiscriminate” layoffs to 89 staff members, including key technical experts. In his resignation letter to the acting FDA commissioner, Sara Brenner, seen by Bloomberg News, Jones said the cuts would make it “fruitless” to continue in his role given the Trump administration’s “disdain for the very people” needed to implement food safety reforms.

A plain commercial sugar cookie used to have six ingrediants....Now the "soft" sugar cookie has 20.....What did you think makes the soft for so long....Kebler elves?

The bakers of commercial bread used to have 20 bakeries in an average region......Now they have two because the chemicals they are allowed to use prolongs shelf live for up to two weeks so they needed fewer bakeries.

All UDSA Approved of course.

There are too many harmful chemicals in processed foods.

We need to make it easier to sue food manufacturers and big businesses.
