Summary
An E. coli outbreak linked to bagged organic carrots from Grimmway Farms has infected 39 people across 18 states, with 15 hospitalized and one death reported.
The recalled carrots, sold under brands like Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and 365, are no longer in stores, but the CDC urges consumers to check for and discard any remaining stock.
E. coli infections, which cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, can be life-threatening for vulnerable groups.
Recent outbreaks have also been tied to onions, lettuce, and walnuts.
This type of stuff is only going to get worse in the next four years.
Absolutely. These companies need oversight.
States could create their own FDA when the federal government stop doing their job.
Could they though? From the looks of things the next Trump term is going to be Calvinball where only oligarchs get to make rules. If it cuts into the bottom line of some Trump crony, would it really be allowed?
The federal government isn’t omnipotent, they’d have to send federal agent to physically stop the state from enforcing their own laws. With all the mass deportation trumps planning, I doubt they have enough manpower.
Oh boy. I’m already a paranoid about food. There was a major quantity of outbreaks during 2010-2020.

Good. The American people wanted this. Unregulated and unceasing capitalism will surely not kill thousands.
A thin majority of the Americans who voted wanted this.
75m Americans voted for this. Many millions more sat on their hands. It’s our reality now and no one to blame but ourselves
The current totals are 76M for trump and 74M for Harris.
You’re not wrong in that more people should have turned out, but lots and lots of people did not want this.
