Two lawsuits have been filed against the fast-food giant after the CDC announced it was investigating an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders.
Who needs the FDA, right?
Lots of people probably aren’t aware that Trump’s crew has published a manifesto saying they will eliminate the FDA.
(not my screenshot; source/as seen here)
Moreover, because of the conservative-court lead overturning of chevron combined with bullshittery about standing, FDA, among all other agencies, have at best questionable power.
it was her fault for spilling the e. coli in her lap
that reference is showing your age 😂
And you for knowing the reference lol?
And me…
Much of Lemmy saw Trek TOS when it aired
Really? TNG I’m sure, but to remember TOS airing, you’d need to be at least sixty.
I’m old and it was off the air a year and a half before I was born. Now I watched it in syndication on TV for sure if that’s what you mean.
Typically “aired” refers to the first air date. I, too, watched loads of it as reruns.
I know I’m ducking under the joke here but I’m pretty sure that case is famous enough that lots of younger people would still get it
It stays around because someone will say it’s ridiculous that she sued, and then someone will um acktualy it gave her third degree burns, and then someone um acktualy’s that the coffee is still that hot, and yada yada
Lawsuit outcome:
Quarter Pounder boxes with e. coli warning
Stop predicting the future!!!
Glad I didn’t eat that crap. Oh no Trader Joe’s too 😱
Trader Joe’s is just run by shitty people to begin with
Not to defend McD’s, but isn’t it looking a lot like a third party distributor that caused this?
A lot of companies have tried to dodge their liability responsibilities by claiming it was an unrelated third party that is responsible.
The consumer still has a contractual relationship with the vendor, not the upstream provider.
The vendor is the one who should ensure their supply chain is safe, and can’t demand a stupidly low price that gives no room for safe practices.
Especially in cases like McDonalds. They’ve owned their entire supply chain since at least the late 90s.
The onions that were contaminated came from Taylor Farms, who supplies the onions for quarter pounders. McDonalds does not own Taylor Farms.
Who sold the meat to consumers, and was there other (more expensive) meat McDiarrhea could have sold instead?
