China Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Paging Koolblue...paging Koolblue... Playing chicken on food safety? USDA defends efforts to speed up poultry slaughter lines and replace most federal inspectors with plant workers One-third of a second. That's how long a federal inspector will have to examine slaughtered chickens for contaminants and disease under new rules proposed by the federal government. The proposal would speed up production lines as much as 25 percent. It also would pull most federal inspectors off the lines and replace them with plant workers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says its proposal is a win-win-win that modernizes food inspection while saving money for taxpayers and the poultry industry. The nation's most recognized food safety and consumer groups, however, say the plan would leave gaping holes in oversight that will endanger the nation's food supply, not to mention create a conflict of interest for poultry plants. They warn that Americans, who eat about 80 pounds of poultry a year, will be at greater risk of getting a side serving of fecal contamination or cancerous tumors with their chicken.

AsburySkinsFan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hmmmm, less regulation more regulation seems it is all ending in the same place. Corporations need to grow a conscience and start worrying more about people than profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOOOooorr people could stop eating poisoned, disgusting products labeled as food, brought to you through the cruelest means possible. At least they're passing laws to restrict video taping in the slaughter houses, so we can't see how disgusting and cruel those places are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
