And the FDA is supposed to ... do what again? Oh, that's right, avoid shit like this. Enjoy the regulatory capture; tip your ag company, avoid the veal.
It sounds to me like the FDA is doing what it's supposed to (part of it anyway). I wish these could be caught before they made it to shelves, but pulling them before they can do more damage is still a positive.
Half of these are a single recall from a farm that took two days for a major packer to pack. Anybody that used cucumbers from that packer that might have been packed in those two days then has to issue their own recall.
