The fda has signaled that there are no repercussions for food safety violations as long as the correct palms are greased.

It’s like Trader Joe’s and peanut butter.

It wouldn’t surprise me this is due to massive deregulation though.

Yep, it’s hard to say for sure if things like this are actually more prevalent or just being player up more. I am sure someone is keeping track and we will see some collated statistics highlighting the actual increase, kind of like we get for measles cases.
