I read a paper recently while doing some research in my field. In Québec, a majority of food issues such as bacteria and unwanted contamination comes from the US while it’s a minority of the food that we import.
I’m on my phone and I’m pretty tired to find the source, but I read that about 6 months ago
It feels like we get so many recalls of US produce in Ontario due to salmonella. Typically, it’s the salad greens like lettuce and whatnot, but it seems very frequent.
Yeah my job is translating FDA announements for Japanese clients and I see recalls for US products quite often, so I had to text my family in Canada to make sure they aren’t buying such products. I guess that won’t be necessary though, because my family isn’t buying any US trash anymore.
Thats neat! I have a friend that works for Jamieson regulatory affairs, they read claims on new products and make sure they comply with our standards. I took a course a while back and we were told that in the states the burden of proof of a claim was on the FDA but in canada the regulations are much more strict, thats why a lot of products never make it over the boarder. Its pretty wild actually, thats why I said I don’t trust the FDA at all.
One of the complaints from the ‘Make america Healthy Again’ crowd is that the FDA needs to be doing what Canada and the EU are doing in terms of food safety and consumer protection.
Trump’s regime sure is a contradictory blob of nuts and weirdos.
