        “Ultra pasteurized” are just words on a carton unless there’s someone verifying it.

        I have terrible news for you. At least in my part of America, the only milk you can buy is ultra high pasteurized.

        Of course, that’s what they’ve been doing until now. Let’s see what happens without the FDA on it.

          But now it’s not just milk and the legally allowed amount of blood, pus, urine, dirt, fecal matter, cleaning agents, and the things the FDA found and did nothing about.
          Now it’s an unambiguous statement that unknown quantities of unknown substances in your food will not trigger enforcement actions!

          Dipshits like RFK jr want to experiment on everyone and make them “healthy again” by giving everyone raw milk.

            I want regular pasteurized milk so I can make clotted cream. But I’d rather have ultra high pasteurized and not have to worry about shit like that.

        In Florida up to 30% of the volume of milk can be pus (there’s lots of puss coming out of these abused girl’s hits due to infections on wounds caused by the machines), so enjoy drinking your boiled pus drink

    The article doesn’t make this clear but “proficiency testing” is a “testing the testers” activity that ensures that labs’ procedures are working. So milk testing done by labs will still be done but those labs won’t be tested until this is resolved. Yes, the activity being stopped is important but a short stall shouldn’t immediately accept food safety.

      From working with lab equipment, you’d be surprised how quickly results turn to unreliable slop if not consistently calibrated. Is that what you’re saying is being skipped?

      The article really didn’t do a good job of explaining. Would this be the equivalent of CAPP inspections where one lab will audit another?

        No, it’s making sure people still know how to do their jobs that will be paused. If you work in a lab you have to do regular periodic training and then be tested on your ability to execute to those standards. Those tests of the lab workers are being paused until they’re in the new location. This is actually pretty common.

        And testing companies can reduce prices and take on many more customers if they don’t actually test anything.

          And when people are upset about that system the labs can go and pay the big4 to be their testers and rubber stamp everything they do because the labs are now paying the salary of the people who are there to stop them.

      They still allow 30% pus (by volume) in the milk sold in my State. Thats the status quo you think is OK?

    So much “efficiency”.

    Once again, when the brainless howler monkeys like Failin’ Palin were talking about “death panels”, it was projection. ALWAYS projection.

    An HHS spokesperson said the laboratory was already set to be decommissioned before the staff cuts and though proficiency testing would be paused during the transition to a new laboratory, dairy product testing will continue.

    So NOT because of the cuts… but also WTF? Can we not continue enshitifying America?

    Fun fact: Up to 30% of the volume of milk can be pus in Florida (there’s lots of puss coming out of these abused girl’s tits due to infections on wounds caused by the machines).

    So I dont know how you thought it was OK to be drinking milk before…

        Yeah, indeed. Even when we try to avoid a lot of the toxic output of the SAD, we get the “benefit” of the lack of regulation meaning that cow shit ends up on food.

        And that was BEFORE the asshats like donnie and his dogebags got their hands on things.

          If we outlaw animal abuse, then cow populations would drop from trillions to thousands.

          And then there would be no more issues with cow shit on our veggies.
