But they only test once monthly, meaning any excess runoff from a nearby farm into the irrigation after that test and before the next leaves a very large window of shipping produce before you know anything is wrong.
I can't be 100% sure if the FDA regulations would have caught it, but I know I would feel safer knowing there were consequences and minimum safety levels that could be verified.
- zeteo 8y ago> But they only test once monthly The proposed FDA rules would have them taking 5 samples a year [1]. I agree that it would be great to have regulations that made produce safer, just not sure these are the right regulations. https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA/UCM473335.pdf https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA/U...
