Next time you're in an argument with some misguided Libertarian "small government" "conservative" who claims they think the FDA should be dissolved, remember this moment.
This is literally the reason the FDA was started in the first place. Because greedy food manufacturers were killing children for profit.
IDK, they'd usually bring out the perfect solution fallacy and say that FDA didn't really prevent it from happening.
The only thing is that they're not allowed to sell anymore(I hope), so the damage will not get any worse.
Economically motivated adulteration, or “food fraud,” can occur when a cheaper ingredient is added to a product to enhance it or bulk it up, but is not disclosed, according to the agency. One example, the agency said, is when lead-based dyes are added to spices to give the product a certain color.
