    What!?! 25% contaminated? Thank goodness again i’m not living in the US.

    Do they have any food that is not trying to kill you in that country?

      It’s part of a rebranding, a branding similar to Australia, just with food trying to kill you instead of animals.

      Yeah, pillows and socks. But that isn’t really food.

    It’s literally in the water the chicken bodies float along in a lazy icy river, so it has to be cooked hot enough to kill the pathogens. Air chilled chicken reduces this, but the body juices with the salmonella can still get contaminated onto the meat, but doesn’t add the water weight. I get air chilled sometimes, seems good fully cooked.


    Chicken bodies float,

    In lazy icy river,

      I mean, we could have guessed. How else would it make sense? But there is also Heritage foundations ideal population of 100 million, the elite clearly hating the poor, and making sure the poor get nothing good in life from them. They are libertarian too.

      It’s worth noting that this was a rising problem during the Biden administration too, from the article:

      The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service inspects poultry plants monthly. The new report shows that five U.S. poultry plants exceeded maximum allowable salmonella contamination every month from 2020 to 2024. These included a Carthage, Mo., turkey plant owned by Butterball, a Dayton, Va., turkey plant owned by Cargill Meat Solutions, and a chicken plant located in Cunning, Ga., that is owned by Koch Foods. A Costco chicken producer, Lincoln Premium Poultry, exceeded the standard in 54 of 59 inspections.

          Though the issue is a bit more specific than just industrial farming in this case. Meat, dairy, etc. production is inherently really inefficient compared to eating plants because you have to do so much more farming for animal feed where most of the energy is lost

          we show that plant-based replacements for each of the major animal categories in the United States (beef, pork, dairy, poultry, and eggs) can produce twofold to 20-fold more nutritionally similar food per unit cropland. Replacing all animal-based items with plant-based replacement diets can add enough food to feed 350 million additional people, more than the expected benefits of eliminating all supply chain food loss.

            Good thing birth rates are declining and we’ll all be dead from climate change related disasters and shortages before we need to worry about supporting another 350 million people.

              For what it’s worth, moving towards a plant-based diet also helps with climate change too

              Transitioning to plant-based diets (PBDs) has the potential to reduce diet-related land use by 76%, diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by 49%, eutrophication by 49%, and green and blue water use by 21% and 14%, respectively, whilst garnering substantial health co-benefits

        The potus has the power to remove regulation across the board but very little to actually enforce them. If new rules mean 1 in 4 chicken nuggets has salmonella, that’s on Trump. But if Republican states want to stonewall & ignore food safety inspections, that’s not on Biden.

          What do you mean? The presidency has enormous power at this point, and when it comes to enforcing regulation the power is actually granted by Congress

          All the president has to do is convince these few companies that they’re actually in danger of operations being shut down, even temporarily. They will respond a lawsuit to block this if they think that would be the easier path, but there’s any number of ways to bring them in line. They’d lose an enormous amount of money for every day they’re shut down… If they believe cleaning up their operations is going to be the cheaper path, they’ll make changes unbelievably fast

          The presidency also has enormous soft power… If the president calls a company out publicly for food safety, the share price will drop, grocers will switch suppliers if they can, and it’ll affect sales

          It all hinges on reputation though… It might take following through on a threat to bring the rest in line, but once they see food safety as the cost of doing business with no cheaper option, they’ll absolutely fall in line

          I would argue that we didn’t elect the president to just set regulations, we elect the president to solve problems. Creating a regulation and not enforcing it properly doesn’t solve any problems.
