Just passed over the bridge again. Traffic free-flowing but noticed a police boat in the river down below and emergency vehicles in the parking lot of the Yacht Club.

As a former state agency supervisor , I have to say that the states do GOOD inspection work. Often more frequent and more efficient than FDA inspections. But the FDA has seen state work as inferior and not given equal pay for equal work. This is NOT a bad thing if FDA actually partners with states.

Okay, does anyone remember the MTV promotion of “Pink Houses”? There was a give-away of an actual house in rural Indiana. The winner got the house and Mellencamp throwing a big party to “paint the mother pink”. No? Perhaps it was a Gen X fever dream…

I’m a food safety professional and I cannot stress how vital guidance from the NACMCF and NACMPI is. The companies who make the food you enjoy every day rely on the output from these committees to protect you from pathogens like Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli. This is active sabotage of science!
