Guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration provide an interim reference level (IRL) for lead of 2.2 micrograms. The amount of lead found in these nuggets could be as much as five times higher than this IRL for children.

A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ freezers.

    Food safety has never been one of our strong points.

          Neither. They will drop “preventable” deaths from the stat to keep the number high. It’s the same thing they’ve been doing with the unemployment figures.

            Ah, that makes sense!

            Yeah, I am… much more familiar with how they fuck with the econ stats… would you believe I am a, not unemployed, but ‘out of the labor force’ econometrician?

            I’ve been trying to point out the BS going on with econ stats for almost two decades now, and … well I am now one of the statistics.
