Harmful ingredients - Toxic ingredients do not have FDA approval similar to the Federal Reserve, eh?

Tyson takeover
EXCERPT:
He notes that the most recent purchase by Tyson of IBP consummated a relationship that began with another Tyson takeover in 1997.

It was at that time that Tyson’s Arkansas neighbor Hudson Foods, a rival chicken processor with its own beef division, was the object of attention by Tyson. However, Hudson wasn't interested --- until the Clinton Agriculture Department stepped in to police an E. coli outbreak at one of Hudson's plants.

On August 12, 1997, Hudson issued a recall for 20,000 pounds of frozen hamburger when 16 people were sickened --- none fatally --- after eating undercooked burgers. Clinton Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman later determined the meat was contaminated by a potentially deadly strain of E. coli. (Issue #8)

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette described what happened to Hudson Foods next:

COLI and Tyson Foods
EXCERPT:

Among the corporations that have bought such insurance on rank-and-file workers , nicknamed “janitors’ ” or “dead peasants’ ” insurance, are AT&T, Dow Chemical, Nestle USA, Procter & Gamble, Walt Disney, Winn-Dixie, Wal-Mart, American International Group Inc., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Kimberly-Clark Corp. and Tyson Foods, Inc. Efforts to rein in the practice largely have been unsuccessful, including the most recent rules Congress enacted in 2006. The rules limit companies to buying life insurance to just the top third of earners, who must provide consent. But the rules don’t apply to life-insurance that employers bought before August 2006, which cover millions of current and former employees - including employees that have long since left the company.
