Cool cool cool. Target (at least in CO) sells Taylor Farms salad kits and I was annoyed that they discontinued the one I liked. Guess it was a blessing in disguise.

Yeah I'm going to discontinue that for life. I don't give a fuck what you do at your own home, but if you are going to interact with people and especially food, wash your godamn hands you cretins.
people really should wash their god damn hands at home, too.
cretinism starts at home.
19% of US adults admit to peeing in public pools. How many of those people also prepare our foods. How many of those people also don’t wash their hands because they don’t think it’s a big deal.
The more I think about food standards in the US, the more disgusted and frightened I become.
Yikes. I don't pee in pools, only into them.
Sometimes there's just too much pee in my balls, so I've got to alleviate it.
The listeria outbreak in October was linked to salad kits.
Same here! I always keep (kept, I should say) a couple of those in the fridge as a base for quick, easy meals.
The only reason this is an issue is because of regulations, once Trump is inaugurated he will fix this.
We can simply remove all the regulations and oversight and the problem will dissapear. E-coli is something the radical left made up, it's not even real just like covid.
You may want to add a /s to the end before google AI picks it up and shows it to millions of people who won’t apply critical thinking to it.
I’m half kidding.
And guess who likes McDonalds?
Real question, how do we keep ourselves safe once the fda is gutted?
Honest answer? Grow your own food or buy produce from your local co-op. Don’t order food from amazon or any other sketchy online store. Seek out international products that come from the EU or a country that still has real food safety standards. Never eat at chain restaurants. Don’t eat at restaurants that have low business because they will most likely cut corners on food quality and proper cleaning. Wash your produce and pray that it contains a low level of PFAS.
We can also channel our rage into something productive, such as passing local and state laws on improving food safety standards, and limiting farmers from growing crops in PFAS-contaminated soils.
Food safety standards in the US are pretty awful. Lack of food safety is exactly the type of problem a government should exist to solve, yet the billionaires and the orange felon are happy to poison everyone as long as our deaths are slow enough to not interfere with their profits.
and pray that it contains a low level of PFAS.
I think you're fucked on that last part, because the levels just keep increasing, but the rest of it is good advice.
If I had land I’d consider growing my own food. I think I’m fucked.
My state will hopefully pick up the mantle.
Stop eating
Frequent hand washing is a good habit to develop. Especially in the kitchen.
Yeah but that costs 5 minutes of time that’s not going into producing things. You are being selfish for not thinking of the bottom line. - The line manager probably
5 minutes of time
Dear god, your hands must be raw! 20 seconds is enough.
Agreed, which is why it's funny that certain crowds think gloves are magic.
Trump is Boeing-ifying the food industry. Boeing is in the situation it’s in because in pursuit of the bottom line they turned to “self reporting” problems, among other things. It’s amazing how many fewer problems there are when the foxes are in charge of the hen house. Which is what trump did for the pork industry in his previous terms.
We can see how well that worked for Boeing. Now imagine how many people get to die for trump’s handing the reins to people for whom death of a few customers is a risk calculated into the bottom line. They’re even less likely to face consequences under a trump admin.
E: typos
The food industry
You mean ALL Industries
Yeah. Some worse than others, I guess.
people for whom death of a few customers is a risk calculated into the bottom line.
You're giving them too much credit. They never calculate that ahead of time.
A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
I'm aware of the quote but noticed how that calculation is done after an issue with the rear differential appears.
It's unlikely they actually do that math because recalls over fatal issues aren't voluntarily. They require federal agencies and lawsuits. Airbag recalls being a recent example.
Very fair, I just saw an opportunity for the quote and couldn't resist.
Well good news, I am SURE this will only get better in just over a week.
/s for morons
Got bacteria? Just fry the stuff! You can fry almost anything to make it tastier. Ask the new president, he fried his hair apparently.
