How much is normally in there? And how?
Manufacturer: “As much as legally allowed.”
DOGE gets rid of FDA
Silly restrictions that hurt corporations.
YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?
Plus some.
The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food. Realistically, there’s going to be some no matter what food producers do.
Here’s some of the rules for basically everything but dairy. Although you might not want to read them.
Dairy is so complicated that they have a searchable database. I found a couple of numbers for bacteria counts, but it seems to be an “it varies.”
The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food.
And these rules are for asthetic reasons, not safety, because the processes used kills any bacteria on them already.
It’s not just purely aesthetic, although that is a big part of it.
Some of it is actual quality not related to safety: if fruit is being processed after insects have already gone to town on it, that’s not the same quality of fruit that should’ve been used, and might actually affect the flavor.
Some of it is still safety. Freezing foods generally don’t kill bacteria, and sometimes don’t even kill molds or other fungi. Neither do packaging for shelf stable dry foods like flour, rice, cornmeal, etc. That’s why the danger in raw cookie dough comes from the flour, not the eggs.
And it’s an indirect issue, but insect contamination may also be an indicator of other dangers that aren’t solved by processing. Metal shavings or bits of rock can get into food, and having a tightly controlled process should prevent those dangers, too.
Sadly you can’t make things 100% clean even tho it’s disgusting but I think there is some limit of rat poop in foods and other things. Don’t know exactly how much tho. Just what I heard don’t quote me on this.
This is accurate - I used to work on food products in a past life.
Were you ratatouille in your past life? /s
No, but it was a niche enough industry that divulging it would dox me
A not-insignificant amount.
Cows will shit in the milking shed with the same frequency as they will shit anywhere else they stand. Probably a higher freqency because they are often agitated by the loud noises, and hairless apes fondling them.
The machines used to milk them are very simple pneumatic massagers hooked up to a vacuum hose. If those machines fall off, or get kicked off by an agitated cow, they will suck up whatever else they come in contact with until someone notices and comes to pick them up again or shut them off.
It is an absolutely regular occurence that cow shit gets sucked up into the lines and pumped into the milk vat. Filter socks(think a coffee filter, but the size of a poster-tube) are installed in the line before the milk vat to reduce the amount of solids that make it through, but there is always some amount of liquefied cow shit ending up in the milk.
Just the usual amount. I don’t think we want to know.
About 20%
Probably somewhere betwen 10 PPM and 100 PPM
Don’t worry, once DOGE is done cutting government agencies, you won’t hear anything about how much shit is in your butter.
Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren’t allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.
And post-DOGE, I’m absolutely mortified.
Hey due to mountain dew I’ve consumed crazy amounts of bromine! That’s why it was banned in the EU. No longer contains it though which is nice
But Kinder eggs are going too far for Americans, it seems.
Upvoted for literal Lemmy Shitpost
My wife and I make our own fecal matter at home. Healthier and tastes better
If you don’t have the time for homemade, store bought is fine.
Good idea, probably saves a lot of money too! Any tips or tricks for beginners?
Plastic bags work fine. Preferably zip lock baggies. ALSO keep them in the freezer. One time we wound up with jenkem on Accident and you don’t want jenkem. It’s illegal and believe me, Nobody can do That Much jenkem.
Reason is the udder being not far away from the anus so literally shit happens. But there are procedures in the chain that reduce the risk. The milk is pasteurised and homogenised for this reason.
And this is exactly why i recommend raw milk to all my MAGA friends, hoping they will develop a natural resistance against being fed shit.
They are the assholes, they are the ones providing the shit.
I like the way you think sir.
Ok but why you crop it that way?
Why doesn’t it have more jpeg? That’s the real question here.
(The answer is: I was lazy and just took the image as I found it somewhere else.)
Thanks for the link. My first question was, “What brand, what item?”
Per the FDA, the recalled item is Cabot Creamery Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted. The butter, which is sold in 8-ounce packages, contains two sticks of butter in a cardboard box.
Extra Creamy
“Premium”
Creamium, even
Thank you. The picture they chose to use is of a butter that we actually buy and had me a bit worried for a moment and you saved me a frantic internet search.
Here’s a version with better cropping:
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S NOT BUTTER
The brand is “Cabot Creamery”.
Hopefully it has nothing to do with their chip supply chain… I do love that smoked cheddar chip…
Good choice. I prefer my butter only lightly fecal, and unsalted
We always buy unfecaled butter then add feces depending on the recipe, taste.
Now this is shitposting
Fecal recall
Another reason to go vegan:
Your butter won’t have shit in it!

Fat in general
Don’t worry, the Trump regime will get rid of the FDA, and recalls like this won’t bother you ever again.
