Oh no! Anyways.
Their quality of food is trash anyways so good for our health.

Ya I don't trust the FDA at all.

I read a paper recently while doing some research in my field. In Québec, a majority of food issues such as bacteria and unwanted contamination comes from the US while it’s a minority of the food that we import.
I’m on my phone and I’m pretty tired to find the source, but I read that about 6 months ago

It feels like we get so many recalls of US produce in Ontario due to salmonella. Typically, it's the salad greens like lettuce and whatnot, but it seems very frequent.
-
Yeah my job is translating FDA announements for Japanese clients and I see recalls for US products quite often, so I had to text my family in Canada to make sure they aren't buying such products. I guess that won't be necessary though, because my family isn't buying any US trash anymore.

Thats neat! I have a friend that works for Jamieson regulatory affairs, they read claims on new products and make sure they comply with our standards. I took a course a while back and we were told that in the states the burden of proof of a claim was on the FDA but in canada the regulations are much more strict, thats why a lot of products never make it over the boarder. Its pretty wild actually, thats why I said I don't trust the FDA at all.

One of the complaints from the 'Make america Healthy Again' crowd is that the FDA needs to be doing what Canada and the EU are doing in terms of food safety and consumer protection.
Trump's regime sure is a contradictory blob of nuts and weirdos.

IIRC the E. Coli in lettuce is from California and something about the produce farms being downstream from the animal farms, and all the fecal run off into the water.
-
They use waste water to grow their food sometimes. Because of the lack of water, they do very simple extraction of the waste (physical and a little bit of chemical, but not biological) and thus the chances of bacteria such as E. coli are very high in their farms. That’s why they use so much pesticides as well.
That’s one of the reasons I’ll never buy American bio food, I don’t trust the water they use to be safe.

I've always thought it was shitty lettuce.

Yeah, you really don't want to see the insides of places like meat processing plants here.

I was under the impression that the FDA used to be the gold standard for drug approval until Trump.
But yeah, our food standards have always been shit
-
No I took a few nutrition courses in my undergrad and they always bring up the FDA as the gold standard of how NOT to run things, its frequently laughed at and sometimes downright shocking. I don't have specifics because I took those courses almost a decade ago now but if you're curious you can always conpare CFIA (Canadian food inspection agency) with FDA and you'll quickly see some clear differences.
-
Oh I’m not contesting our food standards. I just thought the FDA was the gold standards for drug approval. The big issue with American food standards, IMO, is it operates on “prove this is unsuitable for consumption”, instead of the safer method of “prove this is suitable for consumption”
-
exactly I was commenting on the food end of the spectrum since we only talked about it in a nutrition course, I'm not too sure about drugs but they're probably a lot more rules
-
Red food dye is a good example. It was only recently banned in the US after many other countries banned the use of it. https://www.fda.gov/food/hfp-constituent-updates/fda-revoke-authorization-use-red-no-3-food-and-ingested-drugs
