This @POLITICO report is troubling on many levels. Food safety at the FDA should be a top priority to protect all Americans. Whether it is pathogens, pesticides, PFAS, or toxic metals, these toxins have no place in our food supply or our kitchens. politico.com/interactives/2…

The @US_FDA @FDAfood need to protect our babies’ brain from toxic metals like #Arsenic and #Lead in baby food. Retweet to urge them to take food safety seriously. #ToxicFreeFoodFDA politico.com/interactives/2…

The “F” in FDA has come to mean “failure” on food safety. We must greatly intensify the pressure to get the FDA to do its job and to keep the American people safe and alive. The time for an overhaul of their priorities is now. politi.co/3v66XEf
