yeah I was at sams on 04 14-2010 and asked the demo person/sams employee who worked in the meat dept. how come they were able to demo rotisserie chicken with no sneeze guard or why the holding temp. was not 135 degrees and he told me the chicken does not need to have a holding temp. nor they do not need a sneeze guard for the food.

I have been manufacturing salsa’s for 21 years and have been approved by the state of oklahoma health dept. on every inspection and now they are telling me that the haccp plan needs more updating to which they also told me they actually don’t umderstand the haccp plan to it’s full detail.
but they just gave me the haccp book and said I had to learn it or quit the buisness.they said there was a 0.091% chance I could poison someone,although no person has ever been sick from my product.
the funniest part of this is they said I could give the salsa away leagally,but not sell it.if it is so dangerous why can I give it away?
this in my opinion comes down to shelf space in stores.take away all small buisness in the stores and the giant food distribution companies can gain 10-15 % more shelf space which leads to billions of dollars in more greedy profits
if you go to sams or wal-mart and watch them demo products like sausage and mayonaise based spreads or cheese left at room tempature and on top of the sneeze guard makes you think why they get away with such mistakes and a bacteria rate so high that rivals next to poultry. the truth is the government can track their tax payments easier than that of small companies and they hire more people than small business.

Dow Chemical Spent $1.4M Lobbying Gov’t In 3Q reporting in 12-09. Hmmm… I wonder if that’s why they are allowed the special priveledge of providing nourishment for the masses. According to Wikipedia Hydrochloric acid emissions became regulated in the British Alkali Act of 1863.” After the passage of the act, soda ash producers were obliged to absorb the waste gas in water, producing hydrochloric acid on an industrial scale.” Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are used in countless means of food production. Folks this is pollution in liquid form and they are soaking our food in it and feeding it to babies. Let’s see, uses for hydrochoric acid; production of cocaine and heroin, pickling steel, hotdogs, sewage treatment and drinking water! Really! Uses for sodium hydroxide; soap, fuel, drain cleaner, paint stripper, soft drinks, ice cream and pretzels. But seriously ya’ll need to be weary of buying raw milk from farmer Bob, I hear he has political and monetary motives that are criminal, inhumane and dangerous.
