Don't Trust a Chicken Nugget That's Visited China

Here's another grain scare story. When I was hauling grain and unloading at the Snake you pull up to a certain spot and 3 probes go into your trailer which suck out a little grain that lands in the office where they inspect it for bugs and mold. One time they sent me home unladed because there was grain contaminated with this green chemical farmers put on grain they want to save for seed for next years crop and somehow this stuff got mixed into one silo. The farmer said to load from it in the areas where the probes don't go in and fill the rest with good grain so that's what we did. Enjoy your poison bread. :lol:
Great. So now a microscope is a kitchen appliance. I've used one to look at bugs and crap, and now I'll use one to look for that stuff. Mars Candy had an issue once over rats and rat hair getting into the Snickers, or something. The FDA concluded that as long as the hair was sterile, it was okay. Sometimes you just have to have a Snickers.
 
IDK. There is a local food processing plant near me for a major brand, and they are pretty hard-core about everything, including things that would not interest the FDA, like making sure everything about the product is as perfect as they can get it in terms of packaging, flavor, etc. I am sure you are right, but there are aspects to maintaining a brand that would encourage it even without the FDA oversight me thinks. A lot of recalls are voluntary recalls anyways because the legal exposure in making people sick or killing them encourages getting all the product off the market as quickly as possible once a potential problem is detected.

If only they were all like that. :)
 
that's rather disturbing

You're hellbent on making me anorexic, aren't you?

I'm happy. I get tons of free food out of them. If things like the seams on packages are not perfectly aligned, or the labels are smudged or any little cosmetic thing goes wrong or the machine for whatever puts a little too much of one thing or a little too little of something on a run, they give the food to the employees, some of whom will pass it onto me because they have too much already.
 
I won't even feed my pets food that has ingredients imported from China, and it scares the liver out of me that the FDA doesn't require packaging disclosure of where every ingredient has been imported from, and that FDA rules have been adhered to.
 
Well...I need to find out what "processed" chicken means, and avoid it like the plague.
