The FDA's ruling came to light after several cheese makers in New York were cited - despite state laws that allow the use of wood boards.
Yep. They have been making cheese in Europe the same way for the last 2000 years. Some small cheese makers are still using pots and equipment literally hundreds of years old. Not good enough for the FDA.
I hope there are a lot of artisnal cheese makers in Wisconsin and New York that voted demonrat enjoying their own personal schadenfreude.
FDA now deciding how cheese it to be made....
If it isn’t a sign of bloated bureaucratic government over-reach, then I don’t know what is.
Cheese-makers should tell the FDA to go screw themselves...
...then arm and prepare to defend themselves against the FDA SWAT-team raid that will surely come.
The end of artisanal cheeses? Lizzie “Granny” Warren needn’t worry. She can afford to buy the imported.
To hell with these unaccountable agencies. I hope the cheese-makers bar their doors and tell the agencies to screw.
First they came for the cheese makers, and I did nothing because I am not a cheese maker; then they came for ... .
Eff the FDA. They are just a bunch of fascists. In fact the whole fed government in now fascist. They have no respect for the Constitution.
This just makes people buy imported cheese.One more blow to the economy, the fascists seek to destroy the economy at every turn.No jobs for US. Everybody go on the dole!The socialization of America is NOW in progress.
No freedom for US either. Say bye to it.
Geez, now I’ll have to make my own cheese too. My sister makes homemade cheese so I think I need to learn how. Since I’m newly retired and have a farm, I think my garden is going to get bigger.
Behold the power of cheese!
They found that there was fungus in the blue cheese......................
All of these alphabet agencies wanting to control everything is getting way out of hand. They are led by playground bullies who obviously despise ingenuity and uniqueness, while at the same time they will impose their will with impunity, on anybody that crosses them.
That seems to be the trend of anybody on a gov’t payroll.
Wine hell! What about WHISKEY??????????????????????/ NO MORE JACK, Johnny, Jim or Turkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait until the nanny staters realize there is bacteria colonizing your stomach.
As an aside, this ruling has the Vermont artisan cheese makers going ballistic. I can only sit back and laugh because 90% of them voted for Odumbo. You get what you vote for.
Cows = global warming
Vegan is in
Ergo, dairy bad.
Don't the realize that's what gives the cheese that piquant flavor?
“susceptible to the colonization of bacteria on the surface and inside”
Isn’t that what cheese is?
Cheese has been made for literally thousands of years without government assistance.
Reagan was right. The worst thing you’ll ever hear is: I’m from the government and I’m here to help......................
I bought a book on it and have been studying on how to make it. My biggest difficulty is going to be a cool place to store it since I live in Tampa.
