So hey, folks in the US, be careful what you eat right now, since our food isn't being inspected. We're already seeing an uptick of tests for salmonella and e.coli at the lab I work for.
Food safety, inspections, US gov't shutdown
@Silviu What do you attribute it to?
If you're seeing an uptick of contamination, and it's related to the shutdown, I would imagine that being either A) more lax production standards, or B) less inspection upstream of you.

@varx see my addendum that I pinned to my profile!
@Silviu Thanks for the reminder.
