More than 100 people who attended the meeting earlier this month in Baltimore were stricken by a possible outbreak of gastroenteritis that left attendees suffering terrible bouts of diarrhea and nausea, reports NBC News.

The conference was attended by 1,300 of the nation's "top food safety officials" including employees from the Food and Drug Administration, McDonald's, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of those sickened might be even larger than the reported 100, since event organizers have only heard back from a third of those who attended.

"We are working on evaluating possible exposures and doing testing at the Maryland state public health laboratory to attempt to identify an agent," officials said in a letter addressed to attendees.

Funny stuff, your government in action?

Oh, the irony! Makes you wonder if it was intentional, like the movie "The East", using food instead of pharmaceuticals.

Disband OSHA!

Which one state or federal? The state one is self funding they are real good about fining you after an accident but not so much before... I think the minimum fine is 20k

I wonder how many ways the functions of the EPA are overlapped by other agencies?

It should be disbanded.

No we should have a federal, state, county, city level agency for every regulation and if I had my way we would also have a global level agency.

After all you can't have too much government.

Before we regulated food, there was no food poisoning. Food poisoning is a liberal plot to create regulations.

Well good help is hard to find.

And you can't regulate stupid.

It's not like these food safety experts were cooking their own food, that WOULD be surprising. What did they expect feed 1300 people in one setting while getting paid minimum wage and part time.

Their filthy idling hands have plenty of time to pick up nasties throughout the week.

Mmmm Yeah... I'm going to have to invoke my right to defer stupidity and delegate it to you. Would that be OK with you...
Why don't you go on a head on, and continue looking stupid... yeah that's the look.

Food safety is becoming an even bigger issue now that Bill Gates is aggressively trying to kill off vast swathes of humanity:

https://slaynews.com/news/bill-gates-linked-researchers-push-new-mrna-vaccine-pills-global-rollout/


In a quiet laboratory on the campus of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, a team of researchers is working on what they call a “next-generation breakthrough” in global mass “vaccine” delivery in the form of oral mRNA pills.

Unlike traditional mRNA injections, the new pills don’t need refrigeration and could be mailed directly to your home.


I have no doubt that Bill will slip this into the food supply if he thinks it can help him kill millions more people, or render them infertile.
