TAFC ClipBoard: One might think that a company that advertises RAW WHOLE FOOD IODINE from organic kelp in veggie capsules, NON-GMO, manufactured with GMP (good manufacturing practices) in the USA wouldn’t be in violation of Good Manufacturing Practices that go back to January 2013 up to November 2019.
What else can a consumer rely on when purchasing a product than the label on the product indicating that it is safe to consume?
How often do these labels stating compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices require an update? How do they qualify to use the GMP symbol on their labels in the first place?
And why would the recall need to get decided in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York?
And after all those years, who would know that if they did get sick, it was a result of ‘risk’ being introduced into these particular products?
Once again, we need to allocate more funds to assure what we consume is actually safe.
