Health authorities are now investigating at least 205 cases of lead poisonings across 33 different states linked to contaminated applesauce, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. That’s up from 125 cases in the agency’s last weekly tally.
The growing case count comes as the Food and Drug Administration continues its probe into the source of the tainted cinnamon blamed for the contamination. The FDA has faced “limited jurisdiction” in Ecuador, where the FDA says it cannot take “direct action” to investigate some of those suspected to be behind the poisonings.
State health departments reporting cases to CDC now also include Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington — along with more than 20 other states that previously reported cases.
far beyond just these pouches
us has been getting slack on food safety
just like everything else has been this is a state by state issue now that the federal laws on anything including food safety are moving to a state by state decision
and because voting is ineffective with some not allowed to vote and politicians not following the will of the people only going to get worse and more beneficial to the ones writing our politician’s bonuses
shouldn’t the president the leader of the us be on national tv everyday saying how horrible this is and straight flooding the news with this as with everything else he has been silent as ever wonder who he works for certainly not the citizens

WTF are you talking about, no such thing is happening and CERTAINLY not in this case. The FDA is still in charge of this stuff. The tainted cinnamon is coming out of Ecuador, which I may remind you is NOT part of the United States, and was produced by an Equadorian company called Negasmart.
Why do you hate capital letters and punctuation?
That would require Democrats to actually care about fixing problems instead of grandstanding about how they’re not Trump.
Now watch all the dummies take this insult to Democrats as some kind of endorsement for Republicans… Nuance is dead in this country. Everyone’s too fucking stupid and too fucking busy trying to survive to think clearly.
It’s so bad, isn’t it? ANY criticism of Biden or Democrats, no matter how mild, results in immediate accusations that you must be a closet Trump supporter. It’s fucking cultish and fucking weird.
But you’re right – you will probably get those replies – and now I will, too.
