Imported spices a source of contamination, FDA
says
Category: Food
Level: National
Concerning: This article concerns a problem families and
individuals face.
Why this is important/how do these affect
individuals/families? This article is about the contamination of spices and it
is close to 12% of imported spices are contaminated with rat hair and feces.
This affects everyone who uses any kind of spice that isn’t grown in the United
States.
My Views: Being nutrition major and cooking meals daily that
use spices imported and not available in the United States, this is quite scary
and disgusting to think that I might be digesting any kind of disease. This needs
to be regulated better in the sense of any shipment coming in needs to be
tested and approved. Obviously some changes need to happen in the FDA circle to
have more workers checking on these kinds of products coming in to the United
States. More money needs to go towards our health and well-being and taken from
non-essential areas.
