I have started and deleted 2 posts on this.  It's so aggravating.

 

Trendy website, though.

No deaths when I read it this morning, hopefully that is still the case...

That is indeed very sad. But I don't know how politics could be involved. If so, which party would support such disgraceful act?

For an outsider (and please DO correct me if I'm wrong),  the fact that everyone is apparently OK with the FDA having what appears to be no teeth whatsoever is the political end of things for me

 

They should be arms length from any other governing body, with laws that support their ability to do more than write a warning letter.  

 

And, in 2023, the FDA warned the company, ByHeart Inc., about unsanitary conditions at its production facility.

 

Where is the follow up????

And that's where my endless rant would have started. In 2023, they knew there was several issues in their special-attention-to-the-quality, down-home, smart way to manufacture baby formula and did little to nothing.  https://byheart.com/...ages/our-story 

 

The FDA indeed has no teeth because they are in locked battle with the USDA as to who covers food. It's all so stupid.
