Trumps destruction of America continues...
The Trump Administration has eliminated two USDA food safety advisory committees that have been in place for decades.
"The termination of these two important advisory committees is very alarming and should serve as a warning to consumers that food safety will not be a priority at USDA in the foreseeable future. These expert panels provide impartial scientific advice and recommendations to USDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on public health issues related to food safety in the U.S. The failure to recognize and leverage the value of this scientific expertise is dangerous and irresponsible." ~Food safety and consumer advocacy organization Consumer Reports
"Without the input of these committees, we have little confidence that the food safety policies at USDA and FDA will, in fact, Make America Healthy Again." ~Sandra Eskin, a former USDA secretary for food safety, referring to a slogan used by President Donald Trump.
