The FDA and Food Safety
I just read an interesting and alarming article about the FDA and our food. The FDA only inspects only 25% of all U.S. food facilities. As someone with multiple chemical sensitivity, I am very concerned about our food supply.
Here’s a bit from the article:
Do you wash your store-bought, pre-washed salad mix? Do you have a reverse osmosis filter on your home drinking water? Are you still buying packaged ground beef from your local supermarket, despite the numerous warnings? Do you care if there may be trace amounts of BPA in your canned soup? If you have anything to say about any of the above issues, or the myriad of health hazards and food safety issues that have plagued the national food system for the past few years, than the fine folks at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) want to hear from you.
