I was under the impression that the FDA used to be the gold standard for drug approval until Trump.

But yeah, our food standards have always been shit

No I took a few nutrition courses in my undergrad and they always bring up the FDA as the gold standard of how NOT to run things, its frequently laughed at and sometimes downright shocking. I don’t have specifics because I took those courses almost a decade ago now but if you’re curious you can always conpare CFIA (Canadian food inspection agency) with FDA and you’ll quickly see some clear differences.

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

Yeah, you really don’t want to see the insides of places like meat processing plants here.

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.
