The US has recorded more than 160 food recalls this year, as one major Cyclospora outbreak alone has sickened nearly 11,000 people and caused two deaths. ⁣ ⁣ Federal staffing cuts are now raising questions about whether food safety oversight has been weakened.

Yah think? What a dumb statement. OF course lack of oversight and backroom deals are making us sick. Why are some Dem orgs so afraid of being angry!

. "When a reporter asked where exactly is all this beef coming from? — Trump refused to say. “I don’t want to say,” Trump responded. Welcome to Trump’s mystery meat deal." . "This week, the New York Times reported that America’s wild horses have been sold to slaughter." Soylent Green anyone? .

Odd phrasing, food safety was a target of attack. There is no question to be raised about if it has been weakened, it was directly sabotaged as part of a published plan. The admin holds the false belief that the market will "self-correct" and become safer once rules are removed. This was the plan.

Not sure of details but I’m going on the record saying I’m thinking food industry has done this #intentionally - they all stand to benefit whn they come back as heroes whn they miraculously end contamination of US food source Owner of #TaylorFarms is a good friend and financial supporter of DJT

What’s wild is that Fox is claiming it’s no worse than usual but the Trump admin are just far more efficient in catching it and we are actually safer.

Raising questions? We were reporting on the govt's cuts to border food inspections 25 years ago. The border produce association said it was serious malpractice and the public will pay dearly for it. We are. But at the time, no one paid attention. Gotta cut regulations!! GOP mantra.

No kidding? This is directly related to Musk and his know-nothing DOGIE boys with their deep cuts to budgets and staff of the agencies who were there to protect public health.

I think the cuts were all planned out this isn’t the only agency that has suffered, every single one they shut down or reduced staffing are witnessing a lack of critical response that have caused many fatalities this administration doesn’t gives a shit about us NONE.
