where you have some (unsavory) farmers who have sick cows that they have been dosed with antibiotics, but who have not waited long enough for the meds to dissipate before putting the cows back into milk production, resulting in trace (or more) amounts of antibiotics detectable in the milk.

...to stop drinking milk. I can't anyhow, as I have a sensitivity to it. Unfortunately almond and coconut milk could also get contaminated.

Make food poisoning great again!!

Me, I live in the Dairy State of Wisconsin, have no milk allergies or sensitivity, and will continue to drink milk as I have for all of my 72 years.

some likely undocumented, because white people don't want to work on the farms. And from what I have read here, farmers are very happy with them because they are good workers.

I grew up as a laborer and co-parent on one of those farms. My Dad had no hired employees, just his kids. I do not recommend it.

In my area in western WI we got a lot of Cuban refugees from the Mariel Boatlift in 1980 and many of the Hmong came to my city after the Vietnam war when they lost their country. Despite early prejudices, both of these groups have largely fit into the area.

Whole powdered milk costs less than skim powdered milk. Both cost more than refrigerated milk.

I have been trying them out as a new "prepper" - stocking up just in case.

I've been using Hoosier Farms and am trying Michelles Pantry for the skim milk - it's cheaper.

It might be worth switching if you can afford it - at least temporarily to see how all this goes.

BTW, there is no low fat skim as far as I see. It's no fat - all or nothing at all. I combine whole and skim to reduce fat %.

Does dehydration kill bacteria or remove contaminants?

Less chance of milk being bad. But not zero chance.

Trump is on a kill as many missions this time as the last, just more methods, The idea is to have less voters.

Just like the good ole' days.

for example can be in serious trouble from the various types of "food poisoning".

and consumer groups to try to sue.

EVERYTHING they have done to "cut", has been illegal.

ETA - I closely followed the years of hearings and markups of what eventually became (signed into law 1/4/2011) -

H.R.2751 - FDA Food Safety Modernization Act

The program work associated with that is tracked and funding authorized for certain work related to that is designated in appropriations bills. It actually gave the agency authority, for the first time, to do food recalls (versus only being able to beg a firm to voluntarily recall).

Those who backed the Republican ticket may not have realized they were voting to scale back food-safety safeguards, but that’s what they’re getting.
