      USA food regulation is crazy

      in most of the world a principle of prohibited untill proven safe is followed, in the land of free questionable chemicals in your food a principle of allowed untill proven unsafe is followed

        Well… You can’t really prove something is safe. You can only say “we were unable to demonstrate any link to known harm”. PFAS was considered safe for decades. So was asbestos. Then the science got better, and we were able to show things we couldn’t before.
