The Reason Why We're Having Problems With Food Safety

Post by tex »

Food companies have to hire private labs to prove that their products are safe, before they can enter the marketplace.
Foods posing a potential danger can enter the marketplace only after a laboratory has determined that they are safe, according to Food and Drug Administration rules. But investigators have been told that it is a routine practice for private labs to test food until a clean result is obtained.
Scarey, isn't it. This is essentially the same requirement that the FDA imposes on pharmaceutical manufacturers, and they go about it the same way. The common link is obviously the FDA, and their flawed policies.
