The FDA is a typical, DC-centric overkill agency. Give them a hammer, and everything becomes a nail in their eyes.

Import and production of cheeses using non-pastuerized milk will soon become illegal. One of 1000 ridiculous regulations

ALL federa,l agencies seem to think this way because they have devolved to the point where their main purpose is to sustain themselves...

Some historical perspective on the “ridiculous regulation” of cheese made from unpasteurized milk.

In the not so recent past, outbreaks of typhoid fever and many other diseases were caused by such cheeses.

I’m not claiming the present regulations are necessary or proper. Simply pointing out that we’ve gotten so used to taking bacterially safe food for granted that we forget nothing on this earth is more “natural” than a bacterial infection.

Which can probably be treated easily today, but 100 years ago would kill you dead.
