A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago. As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.
I was getting sick of all those pesky lettuce recalls anyway
Amazing. Actually scaling back food safety. Think about that. Food safety. The goals & standards so many have dedicated their careers to ensuring that food you feed your family is safe are now being cast aside. Good luck eating pathogens. And yes, you can die from from food pathogens. 🦠
An action everyone can take to show support for CDC, its prevention work, and science is to sign our letter at www.saveHHS.org. Follow us for more updates @firedbutfighting.bsky.social a group of illegally fired CDC staff and their allies.
The CDC estimates 48 million Americans get sick from foodborne illness every year, 128,000 are hospitalised and 3,000 die – and that’s with standards in place.
So can we expect to see this covered incessantly in the same way egg prices were?
😠
If you don’t test for safety then you don’t have to find anything that could cause you harm.
Great (not) I think #trump and or #rfkJR is trying to kill is or at least cause is to die sooner!!! Fuck #trump and his #illegal #regime
Big parasite pharma doesn't want you to know these weight loss secrets!
Wow, @nbcnews.com, perhaps you could’ve reported on this possibility on the front end than wait till the implementation stage.
No worries, it's only campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and yersinia. 😱😱😱 🤢🤮☠️
Boomers were like “Xers call themselves the Oregon Trail Generation, how much of a reality can we make that?”
they legit want to kill people
Genuine question: Which plague god (or demon, or demon-god) does RFK Jr worship?
maybe @nbcnews.com can ask them why? prob not
Profit over people. Sign up for auto notifications on recalls. Read product labels. Do not eat ultra processed foods. Know where your food comes from, farm to fork. #boycott anything manufactured from a red state! Glad it’s time to start harvesting the gardens we expanded this year!!!
I have to wonder exactly what would be different if HHS was being run by a mind controlling brain parasite and failing to come up with anything
This is what your biased, cowardly coverage of the election helped make possible.
Why isn't some State AG suing the Trump administration for not upholding the Constitution? Article I Section VIII: "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts..." That is not what is happening.

maybe we should get these fuckers out before they kill us all
Striking was the only option. It’s still not too late?
This is very bad.
America is over, MAGA killed it
If the federal government keeps pushing responsibilities to the states, they need to lower the federal taxes as the states will have to increase taxes to absorb these responsibilities. Also federally dependent states will see a rapid increase in deaths as a result
But good thing we canceled that red dye eh!
@nbcnews.com please investigate link between RFK and Epstein. RFK will kill hundreds of thousands of us like they did with Covid if he's not stopped. Maxwell specifically mentioned RFK in her interview.

Congratulations, this will lead to even more countries prohibiting imports of US foodstuffs. Smart move to get rid of trade deficit. 🤦♂️

i cannot wait for all the unpasturized milk drinkers to die of listeria
EVERY Trump policy is designed to harm America.
They want as many dead Americans as possible. Wake up and smell the poison.
Kinda like peeing in the porridge of American farmers trying to export their goods. If farmers think things are tough now what country do they think will import their sub-standard goods?
More dead people = less demand for food and lower prices. Not good for the farmers at all.
Who knew that RFK Jr. and Trump would be susceptible to the lobbying of Big Diarrhea?
Make Foodborne Illness Great Again 😧🤮
We can all be sick together…
We are sooooo fucked
😬
I'm gonna guess Listeria is one of them. Can't let another company go down like Boars Head did. If they don't test for it, there's no link back to the source.
They are killing millions already. They’ll kill millions more.
For consumers there is zero upside to this decision. The risks grow higher and prices will not go down. 😣
I got salmonella and it destroyed my body for 2 years. So many will suffer for no good reason.

Well maybe it is time for some payback. If the other six are not being monitored, maybe it would serve the Admin and congress right if they got the foodborne illnesses.
Yeah but they have their own socialized healthcare. They won't give a damn.
rich people die every day, b
Well, the older you are the worse the outcome of foodborne illnesses so…they might care if they knew that money can’t get them out of a fragile immune system.
They're so obtuse, they probably think they're taking it with them anyway.
Unfortunately they can afford the best quality food AND healthcare on OUR dime
True, but that does not mean that they have the availability for meds if rfk jr stops the making of them. That was what I was referring to. I agree they can get medical but if the drugs don’t work well then….
Fair enough but what makes you think they won't just have the necessary medicines flown in at our expense? For their own comfort, they will spare no expense.
