/where did you think frozen orange juice came from?

But what of Belgian tacos?!?!?

The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it had detained orange juice shipments from Canada after they tested positive for low levels of a banned fungicide previously found in Brazilian juice.

Damn, can't choose between:

If it's already in so many juices, what does one more matter?

or

How much juice do you get from a Brazilian anyway?

Depends... Is the woman a squirter, or not?

THEY TOOK OUR FROZEN PRODUCTS FROM CONCENTRATE

Does this mean orange juice is gonna go up to like $10 a gallon?

What bugs me is that stuff they call bacon. What's up with that?

As a Canadian, I'm not aware of a single orange grove in the country. I presume it's imported, processed, and re exported in order to give it a patina of being above board for the us market.

Smurfme: Way to go Coke!
Watch their stock go up now.

As Colonel "Bat" Guano said: "You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company."

Happy Hours: poisonedpawn78: So whats the political motivation here, because the article even states that the same agency doing the testing ( finding 10-52 parts per billion ) says that less than 80 ppb poses no health risks.

So if they pose no health risks why are they being held up? whats the motivation here... Follow the money...

Read the article again.

The FDA is blocking the juice. The EPA says a little bit won't hurt you.

Yeah, I think that's exactly his point. The EPA has made this information clear, what are the FDA's true motives in blocking it?

Bacontastesgood~

Dig that Login.

It's back bacon. A different cut of bacon, from the back of the pig. Our bacon (which they also refer to as simply "bacon") is cut from the pig's belly.

Thanks.

/never knew that.

This.

It just smacks of the U.S. governing bodies trying their damndest to scare the public into only buying American made brands to boost the economy/secure jerbs.

TFA:LETHAL BANNED Fungicides found in OJ not made in USA. Officials seeking advice from President Madigascar?

Public: OMGWTFFUNGIZIEDINMAHOJ?!?

USofA: BUY AMERICAN, CITIZEN, ONLY THEN YOU WILL BE FREE OF LETHAL POISONS!!

You might be surprised to find out other countries do the same thing all the time.

That's because, much like the US, other countries are stupid. :-D Ain't humans grand?

TheJoe03: It doesn't matter what the govt does if we the people started buying local products when applicable and American products when applicable. Exports are great and all but we do need to support our local industries and businesses in order to maintain jobs.

That logic would imply that American companies weren't moving their labor overseas to get it cheaper. But if you're talking small time mom and pop stuff, I'm all for it.

HammerHeadSnark: some_beer_drinker: adenosine: Orange juice is a crappy juice anyway. It's all sweet and no interesting. Fruit juice needs some natural bitterness to balance it out.

thats why i prefer to mix my vodak with grapefruit juice. it's sublime.

sub-lime, huh. Grapefruit is beneath limes? I don't think so. On the hierarchy of citrus fruits it's like this: Very bottom is limes (nothing is ever sub-limes); next is oranges and they are followed by grapefruit.

I don't wanna argue about the other citrus fruits . . . they're pretty much niche fruits.

Wouldnt they be ordered by acidity?

No, quite the opposite.

The rest of EU did it to british beef. The brits had held the name for best beef for centuries, which prompted the rest of europe to gang up and decide to release weaponized BSE via the channel tunnel to stop having to go through airports which have snifferdogs.

Then the same smear campaign tactics were most recently used to try to reduce the foothold of the ecological farming industries of europe, by poisoning a whole batch of cucumbers in an attempt to sterilise all female green-supporters, in full knowledge that even thicker latex was porous enough to let through enough of the pathogen to at least give sever uteral discomfert.

It's always political. Youmark my word!!
