The Spin
Narrative A
The US needs to streamline food inspections by creating a single agency responsible for it. Overlapping responsibilities between the FDA and entities such as the US Department of Agriculture have resulted in a patchwork system that is ineffective and not science-based. While dairy and meat are subject to constant inspections, foodstuffs under the FDA's purview are typically not, for instance. This food inspection issue must be addressed.
Narrative B
US food manufacturers are suffering under a bloated FDA that creates capricious regulations. Since we live in a free market, food companies have every incentive to sell an unadulterated product, and it should be noted that Snapchill called for a recall without government intervention. The mess of non-sensical regulations food manufacturers suffer under is simply unnecessary given the nature of consumer preference.
