Government is the only reason milk isn’t dangerous. That’s set to change.
Under President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the reach of the Food and Drug Administration is being scaled back by executive fiat. Reporting indicates that the FDA is suspending inspections that help ensure the safety of the nation’s food, amid broader staff cuts at HHS imposed by the new administration. Reuters recently reported that, among the inspections paused, the FDA “is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division.” More specifically, “the agency suspended its proficiency testing program for Grade ‘A’ raw milk and finished products.”
