salmonella poisoning

[deepdiver]

As you're no doubt aware by now, scores of peanut butter products were recalled last month in the wake of hundreds of salmonella poisoning reports, including eight deaths. So when I asked my son who is the  principal scientist for a major pharmaceutical co. how this sort of thing could happen, he offered several possible scenarios…

     If a lab finds a contaminated sample, the food company can send it to another lab that has less rigorous criteria
     If a lab finds a contaminated sample, the food company can send another sample from another part of the batch, hoping for uneven distribution of the contamination
     If a lab finds a contaminated sample, the food company can combine the sample with a sample that's known to be uncontaminated, lowering contamination levels
     A food company can purposely mislead a lab with a confusing change of lot numbers
     A large food company that requires a high volume of lab work might threaten to use another lab
     What a great FDA


But that's just one part of the picture. And it doesn't end with peanut butter.

Heh guess what is good to help clear food poisoning (bacteria).....yes you guessed it....Iodine!! Potassium iodide of course!
I always recommend activated charcoal as well to absorb poisons trying to be removed from the body....of course it has to be taken hours away from iodine or supplements or meds!

The FDA has really been pitiful. I am hopeful that this will change with our new administration.

And as far as that CEO of that peanut company, he should be charged as a terrorist.
