Our government didn’t protect our Gulf seafood supply. And, apparently, it’s not too concerned about protecting our egg supply, either.
U.S. Department of Agriculture experts knew about sanitary problems at one of the two Iowa farms at the center of a massive nationwide egg recall, but did not notify health authorities, the Wall Street Journal reported.[...]
The Food and Drug Administration, which has overall responsibility for egg safety, said it never heard from the USDA about problems such as dirt and mold in the Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa, facility, the Journal reported.
The USDA said it didn't give notice because "the conditions at the egg plant packing facilities were routine," according to the report.
That’s comforting. Sanitary problems are routine, so they don’t get reported. What’s the purpose of an inspection?
Oh well, at least our government keeps our right to wage war protected.
....and hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
