The Spin

Pro-government narrative

This recall demonstrates the FDA's commitment to protecting public health by taking swift action when contamination risks emerge. FDA appropriately escalated the warning level as more information became available about the potential severity of exposure. Federal food safety protocols worked exactly as designed, with multiple layers of oversight catching the problem before widespread illness occurred.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Government-critical narrative

There are concerning gaps in U.S. government food safety oversight. The massive cuts to the regulation of food security protocols suggest systemic problems in the supply chain that need immediate attention.
