The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for its food testing laboratories as a result of staff cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.

The proficiency testing program of the FDA's Food Emergency Response Network is designed to ensure consistency and accuracy across the agency's network of about 170 labs that test food for pathogens and contaminants to prevent food-borne illness.

The firing and departure of as many as 20,000 HHS employees have upended public health research and disrupted the agency's work on areas like bird flu and drug reviews. President Donald Trump hopes to slash as much as $40 billion from HHS.

Evidently severely compromising basic food safety with slash and burn spending cuts falls under the umbrella of government efficiency.
 
These are the kind of people a hell would be built for.

Why? WHY? Are they so ****ing stupid that they fail to understand that they eat food? That they really believe that government is all a grand conspiracy to employ people to do nothing?
 
40 billion dollars seems like money well spent if it prevents our food from being contaminated.

It's not Biden who cut DHHS funding to the point that it cannot fulfill one of its most important and basic duties such as assuring food safety; that would be Trump.

Point?
 
$40B for safe food for a nation of 340M is a bargain. What an a-hole to claim this is "government waste."

$40B to our nation is pocket change. We spend 25 times that much on bullets.

Cult members? You been had.

Government waste: trump's demand for $45 billion to spend on building ICE detention centers.

Yeah, which to go with: money to protect the nation's food and thus ensure the safety and welfare of Americans, or a slightly-larger amount to build ICE detention centers for trump's round-up, detain, and deport US citizens endeavor.

Make Salmonella, Listeria, Norovirus, E. coli, Campylobacter and Trichinosis Great Again.

What's happening inside HHS with RFK Jr. and his juvenile quack doctors is going to kill people.

They'll be the first ones to suffer because they are true believers. They're own stupidity will kill them. Who are we to complain?

We need to make cuts so we can have a trillion dollar military we don't use and a big tax cut for the already very wealthy.
