TAFC Clipboard:  Recalling products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens happens too frequently.

I wonder what percentage of products get tested by the FSIS, or whatever department is responsible for the testing? It seems as though food companies are using the government as they’re double-check agency, rather than do it themselves.

If it’s a small percentage of product that actually gets tested or looked at by authorities, then the food companies benefit. It looks as though they purposely misbrand and fail to list allergens.

What are the odds that one’s products will get checked? Odds are they won’t. So the odds are in favor of the companies who misbrand or omit allergens on their labels.

How many harmful products slip by going undetected unless somebody complains? Way, way too many to give the consumers confidence in what they consume and the peace of mind they should expect and deserve. How many people get sick or die, with nobody knowing what caused it? Way, way too many.

• They’re attitude? If the USDA wants us to do that, then let them check and we’ll absorb the recall costs, rather than spend money on doing it ourselves.

That attitude, proven by their noncompliance, makes it look like they’re not concerned about the consumer’s health. How could those in charge of knowing, not know what’s in the products they sell or if it matches what’s on the label?

Something needs to be done about this. Start fining them? Who gets the money? It should go directly to the consumers, but although it will be marked for the Department Of Agriculture, you can be sure it won’t end up there.

Aside: Just like Social Security with all those outstanding IOUs. Congress uses Social Security funds as their bottomless ATM. Hey, I’ve got an idea. Call in those IOUs then Social Security benefits won’t have to be cut.

Put it on congress. They agreed to the IOUs. Did they even vote on it? And why didn’t they tell the public, so they could respond? You know, so the public could debate it.

Now if the government doesn’t have the money to repay those IOUs, because it’s so massive, then take it out of the pockets of those who voted for it.

Congress steals from the most needy and vulnerable. That money they stole without asking or telling, until it was too late and too massive, belongs to the seniors in this country – not to ones breaching the border – requiring free-to-them-only healthcare and housing. Seniors need healthcare and housing too.

The USDA needs to find ways to force compliance without putting companies out of business. They’ve been negligent in not passing laws that protect the consumer. Instead they pass laws that protect the sellers who have little regard for the health and safety of the consumers of their products.

It’s not enough to say, the majority of products are safe. How do they even know? What that means to most people is that forty-nine percent of the products are not safe.

‘We don’t have the funds’, they claim. Then allocate the funds and take from the copious amounts of special interest monies and grants for frivolous projects and monies in the billions they throw at bankrupt and corrupt foreign countries with no promised returns on tax payers’ investments.

Our food, the air we breathe and the water we drink needs to be on the top of the A-list in every region on the planet. Yet, it isn’t, even though they all claim it is. They’ll say, they eat, breathe and drink the same food, air and water as everybody else.

So that’s where we are right now, because the politicians and lawmakers don’t care what they eat, breathe and drink. You can’t even count on the scientists, since they serve at the pleasure of government and big business who decide what’s harmful and/or beneficial based on financial benefits to the wealthy.

Just the fact that the government promotes certain products from countries with which they make trade deals, when the populace doesn’t want to consume their products is proof enough that government and big business do not have the interest of the consumer as their primary concern.
