time for the FDA to lose the revolving door, lose funding from those they're supposed to regulate, and be re-staffed with ethical people who have no previous ties to the supposedly regulated industries.

According to the FDA's testimony, between 2 and 4 cases are reported each year.

Which makes the reported cases here pretty much the average.

Obviously, the Sturgis plant is not shut down every year for months at a time. Which puts a big question mark over this year's shutdown.

Guess that it is of a piece with the fires in food processor plants.

A speculation, but a disturbingly less improbable one than I want to admit.
