We just had this happen and NBC broke this about an outbreak from Nov 2024. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ecoli-bacteria-lettuce-outbreak-rcna200236 and you have the lead in baby food https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2025/04/15/target-recall-baby-food-lead/83105523007/
Good luck everyone
A whole bunch of libertarians are about to find out what the unregulated “free market” for food is like.
And when they get sick and/or die, someone make sure that they know its their own fault for not doing enough research before eating.
They knew this over a hundred years ago when Upton Sinclair reported on it and motivated the government to found the FDA. It made everyone more disgusted about what was in their food rather than the cost of human misery workers paid to produce it. Why do people forget the lessons of the past?
All the people that would normally slap them upside their head die off.
Because they’re not taught history, or they just don’t care.
A lot of those types don’t forget. They just think that now that the issue is gone(even when it isn’t) the organizations are “government overreach” now.
And that it’ll be idiots who die from not being safe etc not them
If people don’t see the direct benefit of something in their everyday lives, it’s easy to convince them they don’t need it.
