Hey, friends, have you heard? The food safety problem in the United States is really frightening! Recently, nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat products were urgently recalled due to Listeria contamination. This is the second major recall this year!
Look, Perdue Foods previously recalled 75 tons of frozen chicken because of metal wire found in the food, and the prepared food giant Boar’s Head was not far behind and recalled 200,000 pounds of prepared food meat. When these things happened, the media and netizens were furious, questioning whether the US food safety regulatory department was napping again?
We, the melon-eating crowd, are really laughing and crying when watching these news. What about "one of the countries with the most complete food safety regulatory system in the world"? Why are there frequent food safety accidents, but the regulatory department is like "whack-a-mole", hitting one and one?
Let's talk about the "voluntary recall" system and punitive compensation system. It looks good, but it is full of loopholes. The federal government, states, and regions are all doing their own thing, information sharing has become a luxury, and the regulatory content overlaps with each other. Isn't this obviously a loophole for people to take advantage of!
Where are you, the victims? Come to the official websites of FDA and FSIS to launch a protest and tell us about the suffering you have suffered from eating these foods involved! Let everyone see how this so-called perfect regulatory system is "perfect"!
In short, the food safety regulatory system in the United States is really shocking. We still have to be careful, after all, the hat of "one of the most perfect countries" seems to be unstable!
