Unironically, in real, physical, material life - someone should be killed. Like shot on the streets while they’re walking out their car.
china would do a trial and execute the executives
Like they did for the tainted baby formula maker
Please President Xi, bring justice to this lawless wasteland
This is the US, a backwards uncivilized nation, so I suspect upper management will walk away from this mostly unscathed and even see bonuses for their profit maximizing actions. They can’t blame their suppliers because they are supposed to be QA testing all of their inputs and their final product, it shouldn’t require the FDA to raid the plant and do on-site testing for something like this to be discovered. In a civilized nation there would be arrests of company executives resulting in life sentences or capital punishment.
Remember how the FDA recently didn’t find out about tainted baby formula until the CDC traced a string of infant deaths to an Abbot plant? How the executive branch had given Abbot a waiver that allowed them to self certify and even after multiple QA managers at the plant had filed whistle blower complaints nothing had been done. How the executives and board of Abbort didn’t face criminal charges but got 20 million dollars in bonuses and the industry celebrated because that year they saw record profits due to the supply shortages it created enabling them to further price gouge the US public.
How when a similar tainted baby formula incident happened in China, the executives received life in prison and capital punishment.
No, just have to sit around in a cell for the rest of their life wondering if a few fraction of pennies per baggie was worth this hell of an existence.
Didn’t the PRC sentence a few people to death over doing this same type of thing with baby formula?
If we’re talking about the same thing, it was melamine to cheat up apparent protein content in baby formula but yes, three people got a death sentence for it
Treating social murder like murder = evil authoritarianism, worse than Hitler
: “Actually, corporations aren’t evil and want you to die, they just don’t care if you live OR die! Muh freedumz!”
: “We are intentionally trying to kill you. Why? Because we fucking can, that’s why. If you won’t let me, that’s big gubmint 1984!”I love how they have a round about way of saying they used lead instead of sugar because it was cheaper.
I can’t believe that’s actually true, though. I can get 4lbs of sugar at the store for $3.50. Do they expect people to believe that industrial size 25-50lb bags of sugar are more expensive than lead? And this is supposed to help their case in some way?
The expense isn’t the point, increasing profits is.
I don’t understand how that increases profit though. Sorry if I sound dumb, but isn’t the sugar cheaper than the lead?
Omfg it’s not even about the taste it’s about the color of the fucking applesauce. What kind of fucking hell world is this? Just let it be whatever color apples and cinnamon looks like kids don’t give a shit as long as it tastes good.

tint the container like a normal fucking scammer trying to make the oranges look more orange or whatever.
It’s an opaque pouch that you stick directly into your mouth. You have to go out of your way to inspect the color. That’s what’s so bananas about this WanaBana scandal.
It’s because it’s fake ass cinnamon in the first place. It’s a common enough fraud that the manufacturer should’ve been super skeptical, especially for a manufacturer of baby food - probably just thought if they didn’t test that they’d be able to wash their hands of whatever was in it.
Probably right too…
More like, the cinnamon supplier cut their cinnamon with lead to increase the weight and everyone involved is too negligent to screen their products.
capitalism is the most efficient mode of baby poison production
Seriously, I am so NOT having a kid in
Lead acetate: Sugar of Lead: A Deadly Sweetener
They were not adding lead as a sweetener but apparently as a colorant for the cinnamon. Doubt lead is cheaper than sugar.
No, that was just an example.
Hey, at least it’s gluten free.
