RFK and the Republican deregulation shits keep coming.
GreenWise-brand organic blueberries on July 3, which later expanded on July 29 to include GreenWise frozen mixed berries
Sold at Publix.
Is there a list of stuff safe to eat?
Raccoon peen, whale carcass, bear testicles.
And don’t forget your “ferments”.
Stuff you grow at home or the local farmers market
You’ve been having dinner with RFK, Jr, haven’t you?
Local small farmers are completely unregulated and untested for the foods they produce.
That’s not necessarily true at all.
It just varies by jurisdiction and the claims a farm makes.
Always worth a visit to the local farms either way.
Yet still more trustable than government agencies that control quality.
Yeah. Those raw milk sellers are the paragon of food safety.

The lack of tracking of foodborne illnesses because in the US farmers markets are mostly exempt from regulations and tracking, doesn’t correlate to safer food.
Jesus, science better.
Well, when talking about this particular administration’s government I can understand why people would be suspect.
I mean sure, since this US MAGA administration gutted the FDA’s already stretched ability to inspect the thousands of factories but the blanket statement that unregulated farmers markets are more trustable than ANY given government regulatory body, which is how I interpreted the statement, not US Republican regulatory body is incorrect, especially from someone that has a lemmy.ca after their name.
Have Americans considered importing food so they don’t have to risk eating American food?
That’s most of the problem, the diarrhea lettuce was coming from Mexico.
Montezuma’s revenge!
Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A first initiated a recall…
They’re from Chile…
Do you even understand what you’re asking? The lettuce was IMPORTED from Mexico via Taylor Farms. These berries may have as well.
The distributors hide their supply chain and claim it to be “industry secrets” to keep us from knowing where we get our food.
This shit is insane.
Who cares where the food comes from? It’s a drop in quality control thanks to these businesses feeling emboldened by Trump’s gutting of regulatory agencies that’s the problem.
I’m sure they know that, no country grows every crop sold at stores. It’s the usual “le american bad” that’s beat like a dead horse here lol
Usually rightfully so but man is it just getting a tad boring
America is bad but it’s all the complaining about things that humanity as a whole is bad for then pretending it’s America only that’s so damn annoying. They think they popped out of a golden non American vagina just for being on different soil. They can’t see the irony in the way they think.
Taylor Farms is based in California
And they import their food from distributors in Mexico. Why is this hard?
Is America good?
Most of the people I know are expanding their gardens
Not necessarily cheap work, if you don’t already have good soil and such. It’s also more time intensive than people realize.
Recommend strawberries in the ground, tomatoes, snap peas, and zucchini for the easy stuff. To learn.
Anyone looking to build their soil should look up Korean Natural Farming. Cultivate and feed your local microbes and they’ll feed you. And it’s cheap.
I don’t plow, till or weed much. No tiller. Just hand tools - round point shovel, hoe and five tine fork. Clay soil. Brought sand in and use old hay bales for mulch. Soil is fantastic. Very little cost. Very little work. Huge harvest. No harmful pesticides. Those who want to garden should read Ruth Stout and Masanobu Fukuoka
Your comment was the firstI have heard about KNF. As an eternally skeptical microbiologist, I suspected it to be similar to many “organic” farming methods, some of which isn’t scientifically sound, but just gave it a quick review and it seems to be based on some solid principles. I’ll be looking into it for my own garden. Thanks for the recommendation!
Anyone calling any variety of squash “easy” haven’t ever gardened and dealt with squash bugs (vine borer)
Fair. My issue is cruciferous turning holy and then dead, no matter what I spray them with.
I use trap crops entirely now and that really does help tremendously with cruciferous, especially using nasturtium, but yeah, I’ve given up on Brussels sprouts here. Nothing seems to save them.
Wee Americans should stop exporting these water-intensive crops such as pistachios
Wee Americans are tiny Americans, why are they growing pistachios?
That’s how I am so flummoxed by their water demands! I am just a tiny pistachio
I can’t wait for the Pistachio Lobby and Data Center Lobby to have a range war over water rights. We can wager on it on Kalshi.
It’s the 21st century!
Sold in Publix locations across eight states, the affected products have been removed from shelves, according to the FDA, but have expiration dates into 2028, meaning they could still be in freezers.
“Customers who have purchased the following frozen GreenWise products are reminded not to consume them,” the agency said in a July 30 notice.
Must have been accidentally exposed to vaccines
blueberry is called the Vaccinum genus
The diaper always leaks downhill
Right onto the lettuce farm
Worst trickle-down conceivable.
