The updated procedures let meat companies kill pigs as quickly as they want and pass inspection responsibilities from government officials to plant employees.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced updates on Tuesday to the nation's hog slaughterhouse inspection procedures that critics warn yield more oversight to the industry and could endanger workers and consumers.

"With less government oversight over hog slaughter inspection, big meat companies will have the freedom to inspect themselves and push towards their goal of increasing line speeds," the nonprofitsaid in a statement."There's no doubt about it: faster line speeds + less inspection=more food contamination."

In addition, responsibilities previously in the remit of USDA inspectors will be ceded to employees of the plants, such as the removal of meat with particular defects from the processing line. Critics argue this move essentially privatizes the inspection process and will lead to more instances of contamination.

Can orange antichrist be our food tester? Better yet stop eating meat

I wouldn’t eat pork with the current laws. The way pigs are kept in pens so tight they can’t move is barbaric. Hopefully this brings more people toward that choice.

On the flip side, it may not. Speculation doesn't lead to causation. The left is just a Debbie Downer.

actually for those who believe the bible.. there is strict warning in the old testament not to eat all animals with hoofs.. that is why jewish people do not eat pork... there is a valid lesson for everyone.. pork causes poor health.. heart disease.

45 is simply cementing his bond with the people in US food processing. The safety or well being of the people he represents NEVER influences any decision he makes.

Maybe, Trump should go work in one of those slaughter houses for a couple of days.

Time to take pork off the shopping list.

Another good reason for the Democratic’s not to eat pork.

Polluted air and water. Poisoned food supplies. Pristine wilderness destroyed. Americans sick and dying. MAGA for corporate profits.

Chinees influence on this?

GarySiniseFound can you just nod your head or something?

Look in his eyes, he knows he is going to die..😢

Sad, the way these animals are abused..If. they must be killed for meat, at least find a more humane way to doing it..🐖🐷🐷 🐖

oh yeah, it's REALLY humane.

honestly, my thoughts were growing avocados on jupiter with.... pretty much a flying pork bone chipper.
