WTF? USDA withdraws a plan to limit salmonella levels in raw poultry

[spanone]

The Agriculture Department will not require poultry companies to limit salmonella bacteria in their products, halting a Biden Administration effort to prevent food poisoning from contaminated meat.

The department on Thursday said it was withdrawing a rule proposed in August after three years of development. Officials with the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service cited feedback from more than 7,000 public comments and said they would “evaluate whether it should update” current salmonella regulations.

The rule would have required poultry companies to keep levels of salmonella bacteria under a certain threshold and test for the presence of six strains most associated with illness, including three found in turkey and three in chicken. If the levels exceeded the standard or any of those strains were found, the poultry couldn’t be sold and would be subject to recall, the proposal had said.

The plan aimed to reduce an estimated 125,000 salmonella infections from chicken and 43,000 from turkey each year, according to USDA. Overall, salmonella causes 1.35 million infections a year, most through food, and about 420 deaths, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

1. trumpistas are just trying to cull the human herd, aren't they? Severely.

What an evil, evil administration.

26. Putin can kill many Americans without firing a shot.

Putin funded the NRA and used a great deal of propaganda to make sure
the US is a hate filled violent nation.

Now Trump is destroying all safeguards, safety net, protections which will kill
even more Americans.

Putin is popping champaign corks.

6. 'halting a Biden Administration effort to prevent food poisoning from contaminated meat'

They disgust me.

They are inhumane.

21. But wait!

I thought Elon was concerned about a declining population count? Now I'm so confused.

27. They want to kill the old, sick, infirm.

Only healthy white babies are allowed to live.

[Silent Type]

4. Maybe Kennedy's autism research will find that salmonella is a major contributor or at least another serious problems.

Seriously, it does sound like they might reconsider. If the proposed rule took 3 years to develop, a few months reconsideration is not unreasonable. More than that needs to be explained and questioned.

5. If people don't get it yet, I will explain it again:

TCF, GrOPers, oligarchs, et al want you plebians to fuck off and die already.

[electric_blue68]

11. The oligarchs are still going to need a whole lot of people to make all the things they need, like, love....

the services they need/want, the sructures to be built, maintained, demolished, and infrastructures running.

Are they all going to stay holed up in their mansions, or private islands. Some might prefer a thriving city at least part time to live in.

[RockRaven]

12. As long as the masses are really under their boots, they don't need as many as exist now.

After some threshold -- which is far surpassed at present -- they don't need more. More is only more risk to the current arrangement structure -- plus no matter how downtrodden those more occupy a nonzero slice of the pie. They would rather absorb those miniscule slices into their own.

[electric_blue68]

17. I get what you're saying.

[Mr. Evil]

23. They're really gonna love it

when there are no plumbers to unstop their toilets for less than $100,000 a pop. I'd also charge $10,000 a mile for every mile over 1. Fuck them! They are diseased and psychologically defective.

[electric_blue68]

24. Heh!

[Irish_Dem]

28. The billionaires don't need people any more. AI and robots will do the work.

Besides, billionaires are working on taking most of the world's assets and don't need
workers any more. They are set.

MAGA response.

33. KFC's cousin?

[underpants]

9. I...what??!preparing chicken is like surgery or a science experiment

or woodworking.

Step by step by step. Stop. Don’t hurry. Everyone I’ve ever met preparing chicken ESPECIALLY crunchy campers to Bubbas on a grill and THAT’S assuming it doesn’t have _____g salmonella.

Less milk inspection and now chicken and turkey. Tyson is happy. Meat packing and the chicken houses need undocumented labor. They recruit it.

[usedtobedemgurl]

25. They will not be happy when people stop buying their product

And they go out of business! This is not good for anyone.

How to Become a Vegan

[Bread and Circuses]

32. thanks! I'm vegan , too

[Old Crank]

15. This will help sell poultry to the EU.

The EU won't let bleached chicken in. There is a push by some in Britain to let the Chlorine treated chicken in but this might just end that.
Lets export poisonous foods to other countries. MAGA!

[littlemissmartypants]

18. If they haven't imposed tariffs on our exports. Food supply disruption has just barely started. Give it time. ❤️

Except they're no longer our allies.

19. More Autogenocide...

Autogenocide exposes how states drive populations to destroy themselves through poisoned environments, collapsing healthcare, misinformation & engineered despair.

It's mass death by design & by the outright neglect of society.

AKA social murder.

[Irish_Dem]

30. Yes Americans voted to be killed, bankrupted, destroyed.

Mass suicide.

[blue-wave]

20. If you're not

a vegan now, time to seriously start thinking about it.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Then Trump will start poisoning our fruits and veggies.

He will kill us one way or the other.

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

22. We can always hope that Trump eats some contaminated chicken

I quit eating animals about 35 years ago, although, I do still eat products that get recalled for some other bacteria every so often. I am not oblivious to the importance of food inspection. I just hope that Trump becomes the victim of his horrible policies and I think a great way for him to suffer is to die of salmonella in his food... or at least get so sick that he wishes he were dead.

[Bread and Circuses]

31. And! This is a great time to start a plant based diet!

[thucythucy]

35. Yet another reason for the rest of the world to stop buying American products. nt
