<p>This is from an article about Snokist, who was responsible for the moldy applesauce &#8220;product&#8221; sold to school children.  The quote below is from the author of the story:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m just stunned to learn that these guys don’t need to tell me, or the FDA, if they’re using “reconditioned” food. So what’s the point of food labeling if these guys don’t have to tell us stuff like this?&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Read the whole story and weep&#8230;</p>

<p>McDonald&#8217;s fired them, since there were violations, but how long were they in violation prior to the warning issued by the FDA? How many egg sandwiches were sold before the change in suppliers occurred?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The FDA announced that raw milk is dangerous and has &#8220;killed 143 people since 1987&#8243; .</p>
<p>A recent news story indicated that over 100,000 people died of prescription drug use last year. So, an average of 277 people die each day of prescription drug use.</p>
<p>That tells me that the FDA has no business sending in swat teams to arrest farmers for selling raw milk to people that WANT  it. They should be after the doctors that prescribe medications to people &#8211; that&#8217;s where the real killers are. And to think that the average 55 year old male is taking several medications.</p>
<p>What is the world coming to?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This means that the FDA no longer has to &#8220;prove&#8221; there is anything wrong &#8211; they can perform illegal search &amp; seizure on small farms. Basically, it means that, in order for small farmers to provide nutrient-dense foods, they will have to go underground and smuggle food to people &#8211; otherwise the Industrial food system (Big-AG) corporations will complain to the FDA, who in turn will confiscate everything from the small farmer and shut them down.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;The administrative detention rule (PDF) gives the FDA considerably more flexibility in its ability to confiscate food the agency suspects might be dangerous. Previously, the FDA could only detain food when it had credible evidence that food was contaminated or mislabeled, and the contamination or mislabeling had to constitute a serious threat to public health or the health of animals.</p>
<p>Under the new rule, the FDA can administratively detain the products for 30 days while pursuing other enforcement options, such as seizure or a federal injunction.&#8221;</p>
