From the 'Duh!' file: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently recalled 80,000 pounds of Costco butter that was missing information from its packaging regarding a key ingredient: milk.
It’s not law by feelings, what regulations from laws say, they say. Yeah it’s nitpicking and a waste. Another time it might be the label missed something someone needs to know. I love our great country and its Constitution. There is no I should have stayed, if you know what I mean.
Like a warning on a bag/can of peanuts, that it's a peanut allergen? And then there's this one, cracked me up: Just need to vent... | Page 113 | PriusChat
Like the plastic wrapper on the beef jerky stated "might contain traces of meat." REALLY??!! MY GOODNESS WHAT'S IN THIS STUFF
Milk-as-allergen labeling law has been on the books since 2004. During which time Costco has sold a lot of legally labeled butter I am sure. This time their labeling department made a mistake, and they will suffer the loss. Seems fair? Using this as a blunt object to assail 'overly burdensome regulations' is an optional move.
According to what I heard on government funded radio..... Maybe instead of 'duh' we can refile this under DOGE. (or....Doh!) if you're a federal employee.... The 'Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is a gift to Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk
In this case I would think Costco would just have the vendor they buy from relabel the butter. The FDA isn’t hauling away the butter I don’t think, it’s Costco. I think it has to be this way, unless the law says in the case of missing milk on the butter label, it is excused.
Food safety regulations are strict for a lot of good reasons, some of them written in blood. Did Costco screw this up, or was it some putz at the dairy packer? I don't see any fault in the government's action here. Though it is a bit morbid, I can't wait to see what happens when they notice we have two Dakotas and two Virginias.
I don't think it's morbid AT ALL - but of course I used to be a DOD contractor. I'm buying me some stock in Orville Redenbacher's parent company!!!
"I can't wait to see what happens when they notice we have two Dakotas and two Virginias" and a 'New' Mexico ... so confusing. == If this thread has elasticity, it could accommodate The Onion buying Alex Jones' Infowars. That truly evades power of human imagination.
