Don't worry, the Trump regime will get rid of the FDA, and recalls like this won't bother you ever again.

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 22 points 6 days ago

Here's a version with better cropping:

Fecal recall

Now this is shitposting

Another reason to go vegan:

Your butter won't have shit in it!

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago

There is no vegan butter that holds a candle to real butter though. And there are also feces in flour and most other foodstuffs. Can't reliably pest proof food stores and fields without exterminating all life. Just cause it sounds disgusting doesn't mean it is.

Fat in general

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

With the levels of deregulation in the US, everything will eventually contain shit.

[-] hungryphrog 4 points 6 days ago

Fecal what? Fecal mama? Fecal manners? Fecal Madonna?

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 106 points 1 week ago

How much is normally in there? And how?

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 153 points 1 week ago

Manufacturer: “As much as legally allowed.”

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 49 points 1 week ago

DOGE gets rid of FDA

Silly restrictions that hurt corporations.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago

YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food. Realistically, there’s going to be some no matter what food producers do.

Here’s some of the rules for basically everything but dairy. Although you might not want to read them.

Dairy is so complicated that they have a searchable database. I found a couple of numbers for bacteria counts, but it seems to be an “it varies.”

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food.

And these rules are for asthetic reasons, not safety, because the processes used kills any bacteria on them already.

[-] exasperation@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

It's not just purely aesthetic, although that is a big part of it.

Some of it is actual quality not related to safety: if fruit is being processed after insects have already gone to town on it, that's not the same quality of fruit that should've been used, and might actually affect the flavor.

Some of it is still safety. Freezing foods generally don't kill bacteria, and sometimes don't even kill molds or other fungi. Neither do packaging for shelf stable dry foods like flour, rice, cornmeal, etc. That's why the danger in raw cookie dough comes from the flour, not the eggs.

And it's an indirect issue, but insect contamination may also be an indicator of other dangers that aren't solved by processing. Metal shavings or bits of rock can get into food, and having a tightly controlled process should prevent those dangers, too.

[-] Emi@ani.social 41 points 1 week ago

Sadly you can't make things 100% clean even tho it's disgusting but I think there is some limit of rat poop in foods and other things. Don't know exactly how much tho. Just what I heard don't quote me on this.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

This is accurate - I used to work on food products in a past life.

I stopped drinking milk the day I learned that the FDA has a limit on the amount of puss from a burst udder blister, and it’s not 0%.

A not-insignificant amount.

Cows will shit in the milking shed with the same frequency as they will shit anywhere else they stand. Probably a higher freqency because they are often agitated by the loud noises, and hairless apes fondling them.

The machines used to milk them are very simple pneumatic massagers hooked up to a vacuum hose. If those machines fall off, or get kicked off by an agitated cow, they will suck up whatever else they come in contact with until someone notices and comes to pick them up again or shut them off.

It is an absolutely regular occurence that cow shit gets sucked up into the lines and pumped into the milk vat. Filter socks(think a coffee filter, but the size of a poster-tube) are installed in the line before the milk vat to reduce the amount of solids that make it through, but there is always some amount of liquefied cow shit ending up in the milk.

[-] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Just the usual amount. I don't think we want to know.

Don't worry, once DOGE is done cutting government agencies, you won't hear anything about how much shit is in your butter.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 9 points 6 days ago

Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren't allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.

And post-DOGE, I'm absolutely mortified.

[-] hungryphrog 2 points 6 days ago

But Kinder eggs are going too far for Americans, it seems.

[-] pixeltree 3 points 6 days ago

Hey due to mountain dew I've consumed crazy amounts of bromine! That's why it was banned in the EU. No longer contains it though which is nice

[-] Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

Upvoted for literal Lemmy Shitpost

[-] ebolapie@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

My wife and I make our own fecal matter at home. Healthier and tastes better

[-] hungryphrog 1 points 6 days ago

Good idea, probably saves a lot of money too! Any tips or tricks for beginners?

[-] ebolapie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Plastic bags work fine. Preferably zip lock baggies. ALSO keep them in the freezer. One time we wound up with jenkem on Accident and you don't want jenkem. It's illegal and believe me, Nobody can do That Much jenkem.

Reason is the udder being not far away from the anus so literally shit happens. But there are procedures in the chain that reduce the risk. The milk is pasteurised and homogenised for this reason.

And this is exactly why i recommend raw milk to all my MAGA friends, hoping they will develop a natural resistance against being fed shit.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

They are the assholes, they are the ones providing the shit.

[-] Zanathos@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I like the way you think sir.

[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

Ok but why you crop it that way?

[-] Novocirab@feddit.org 20 points 1 week ago

Why doesn't it have more jpeg? That's the real question here.

(The answer is: I was lazy and just took the image as I found it somewhere else.)

[-] ScrollerBall@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago
[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Thank you. The picture they chose to use is of a butter that we actually buy and had me a bit worried for a moment and you saved me a frantic internet search.

[-] rudyharrelson@lemmy.radio 17 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the link. My first question was, "What brand, what item?"

Per the FDA, the recalled item is Cabot Creamery Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted. The butter, which is sold in 8-ounce packages, contains two sticks of butter in a cardboard box.

[-] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I had a couple sticks of the standardly creamy Cabot in the fridge and happily still cooking with it. Extra creamy just seemed excessive when I saw it in the store.

Good choice. I prefer my butter only lightly fecal, and unsalted

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

We always buy unfecaled butter then add feces depending on the recipe, taste.
