It is past time that all of these bureaucrats find productive work instead of the nonsense they’re engaging in.

...an inch-long “crawling insect” among the focaccia...

That's obviously a violation for failing to list the insect or its protein content on the label. :=)

Sheldon’s mom said it best (paraphrasing from memory):

S/Mom: I use the most important ingredient!
Penny (sweetly): Love?
S/Mom: “Hell no! LARD!

In addition to their other health code violations it turned out their love was tainted.

New FDA rules actually now forbid you from putting anything negative about the FDA on a food label!

“Tainted Love?”

It’s a Soft Cell approach.

Did someone put something negative on their label?

It’s kind of nice that this artisan bakery can say there’s love in it

My favorite daughter story - she was 4 we were driving to school and she asks, Daddy how do you make love? I thought oh lord what do I say, and he replied - ask her why - I said, why, she said, we are baking cookies today and you said grandmas cookies were the best because they were made with love. I let out a great sigh.

I think I remember Hellary saying she baked cookies.

I KNOW “Hate” was one of her ingredients.

While I certainly sympathize with the bakers, how much you want to bet that they’re typical New England progressives?

If so, they’re getting a taste of the sclerotic statism their party would inflict on us all.

That said, I’d sure like to try some of that granola. Back in the day, we had a bakery where I lived in North Carolina that offered what I could best describe as a granola brittle. You just couldn’t stop eating the stuff.

They just want them to stop putting it on the ingredient list. They can put it anywhere else on the packaging. Lots of wonderful people and small companies say what they make as “made with love” on their products.

This bakery is being called out that they can’t “prove” that love is literally an actual “ingredient” in their food products—wouldn’t you hate to see some science nerd or computer try to prove that this product contains 0.02 percent love?

How about Lard, Olive oil, and Vanilla Extract?
