"SEVERE" -- imminent death likely
"HIGH" -- elevated risk of death from eating bad potato chips
DOGE should kill this in its tracks!

“And t*ts doesn’t even belong on the list, man.......Sounds like a snack.....New Nabisco T*ts....Betcha can’t eat just one!”

They’re trying to milk that food contamination problem for all it’s worth.
“Lay’s Potato Chip Recall Clocks In At The FDA’s Highest Risk Level”
so if someone really did manage to eat just one, do they need to worry?
"SEVERE" -- imminent death likely
"HIGH" -- elevated risk of death from eating bad potato chips
DOGE should kill this in its tracks!
Thanks.
But I can’t help but wonder how often this sort of thing happens and doesn’t become a news item...
“warehouse had milk products in the warehouse racking above the oatmeal totes”
My God, is there no common sense anywhere? Probably all the food product totes were sealed, too.
LOL...are you going to start again? Last time you had some real good groaners.
It’s the cross-contamination nonsense. If a machine once touched a milk product, everything going through that machine in the future is tainted.
What I can’t figure out is what potato chip making machine might have processed milk products.
“It’s unreal the way fear drives our society.”
Isn’t that the truth?
I’m getting the feeling that the FDA is doing this on purpose to torpedo DOGE.
I think blackdog explained it in post 19.
“...the flavoring coating blends undeclared...sour cream, ranch”
That makes sense. The cost of doing an USDA allergen wash of the equipment must be astronomical on top of the downtime with no production.
I tried to find how many people are harmed by trace cross-contamination like that. I could not find any data. Does anybody ever ask “are these tens of millions of dollars spent on avoiding cross-contamination saving any lives or preventing any illnesses?”
It’s like the California Prop 65 cancer warning labels. Tens of millions of dollars (hundreds?) spent on compliance with tens of billions of labels slapped onto every product under the sun. Has any of that affected just one person? Much less saved a single life or prevented a single case of cancer.
We switched from Comcast to AT&T Fiber last summer. AT&T sent me a Prop 65 Warning in a text message after the work was done that basically said “Don’t touch our equipment or you will die from cancer!!” Their equipment is in a wiring closet in my home, up high on the top shelf and their wiring runs through the crawl space. I could touch that stuff momentarily maybe every ten years. And it’s nothing but a normal plastic electronics enclosure and normal cable PVC jacket.
Government is absolutely nuts.
What is the percentage of people allergic to milk? These chips are fine if you’re not allergic to dairy. But what I want to know is, why is there milk in chips?
Yes, blackdog did a good job explaining it. I hadn’t thought about the milk-based coatings on chips.
You've got your answer right there --
It's udderly perplexing.
Blackdog explained it in #19: It’s the flavoring coating blends undeclared (sour cream, ranch dressing)
I remember that when we would run drinks you ran water, bug juice, tea and finally orange juice. But you never ran milk on the juice line or juice on the milk line.
Not that often but it only becomes an issue if the items move out into the distribution pipeline. There is generally a 24 hour hold because you have to run labs on few random samples from every batch.
At least that was the way it used to be but who knows what they are doing now.
I'll leche know -- the factory workers not only lact any skin in the game, they were caught crying over spud milk.
Lol!
A production bay on drink mixes starts out on lemonade, moving next to lime, then the orange, then the teas, and finally the horrid... Red Berry to end out the run, and then wash. That schedule prevents colors and flavors from co-mingling. Doing the wash at the end after red seems like you’re in a bloody slaughterhouse. Walls, ceilings, rainsuits, socks and shoes, all murder-red soaking wet. Then back to lemonade. Each run goes for at least a week.
