Let me tell you how food safety actually works in America.
A March investigation found over 100 CHEMICALS OF UNKNOWN SAFETY sitting in the US food supply. 49 of them slipped into roughly 4,000 products with nobody outside the company ever signing off on it. You have been eating them for years and you never even knew.
HOW IT WORKS:
A company invents a new chemical, and it wants to put that chemical in your food, so it hires its own experts, pays them, and has them declare the chemical "Generally Recognized As Safe." (GRAS)
The FDA doesn't have to see it, and you don't even have to be told. There doesn't even have to be a label.
They act (and I mean act) shocked at the obesity, the cancers in young people, the gut problems, the kids who can't focus, even though they sell you the poison followed by the pharmaceutical cure.
Government will not save you here. The agency that is supposed to protect you handed the decision making to the people it's supposed to be policing.
