At McDonald’s, I saw that their sweet tea comes from a plastic bag inside a metal container, which stays in there all day. That doesn’t seem sanitary. Then I found out some places, like Olive Garden, heat soup in plastic bags by putting them in hot water. Isn’t this like leaving a water bottle in a hot car, where plastic leaches into the liquid? How is this okay? Like, I feel like that would be so explicitly illegal in other countries. Taking a big plastic bag of soup and just throwing it in water for the plastic to obviously separate from the bag and be intermingled with the food…
It sounds a lot like poison, like it’s literally poisonous. Like how is this okay in the USA?
0·16 days ago- yes, that’s poisonous
- yes, we have food safety standards
- that can be completely ignored if you have the money
- and yes, RFK Jr. will do the best he can to reduce our standards even further
- to give you an idea of how much of a joke it is, the US label for “safe” is GRAS “generally recognized as safe”
