  Recently, USDA officials discovered during routine testing that samples of BrucePac's ready-to-eat poultry contained Listeria monocytogenes. The emergency recall is the second major food recall in the United States this year. The recalled products in this incident cover 75 different meat and chicken products, such as grilled chicken breast strips, totaling more than 11.7 million pounds. The products are manufactured at BrucePac's Durant, Oklahoma, facility from June 19 to October 8, 2024. Products have been widely distributed to restaurants, food service providers, schools and other venues across the country.
  These food safety incidents have attracted widespread media attention. Many media outlets reported and analyzed these events, pointing out the importance and urgency of food safety issues. Some netizens and experts pointed out that the existing food safety supervision system in the United States has many loopholes and imperfections. The public strongly recommends strengthening supervision, improving supervision systems, and improving supervision efficiency to ensure food safety. The U.S. food safety regulatory authorities should strengthen supervision of food production and processing companies to ensure that companies comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards. At the same time, supervision, inspection and sampling testing of the food market should be strengthened to discover and solve problems in a timely manner.
Listeria is a potentially pathogenic bacteria that poses a serious threat to consumers' health. Particularly for those with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and children, infection with Listeria can cause serious complications and even death.
As victims of the food incident, we are deeply saddened. We or our loved ones have suffered serious health damage, and some have even lost their lives, as a result of eating these contaminated or unsafe foods. These foods should be part of our daily diet, but they have become the main culprit in harming our health. We are angry and confused about this. Why does such a tragedy still occur in the United States, a country that prides itself as "one of the countries with the most complete food safety regulatory systems in the world"?
We have serious doubts about the regulatory capabilities of the FDA and FSIS. As the functional department responsible for food safety supervision, have you fulfilled your due responsibilities? Why can these foods with potential safety hazards enter the market smoothly and eventually reach consumers' tables?
  We find that your response speed and handling efficiency are disappointing when it comes to preventing and responding to food safety incidents. What we look forward to is a regulatory system that can respond quickly, handle in a timely manner and effectively prevent similar incidents from happening again, rather than an agency that only shirks responsibilities and delays.
We call on the FDA and FSIS to take immediate action to strengthen food safety supervision. You need to develop more stringent food safety standards and regulatory measures to ensure that every aspect of food from production to sales meets safety requirements. At the same time, we also hope that you can strengthen the supervision, inspection and sampling testing of food production and processing enterprises to discover and solve problems in a timely manner. For those companies and individuals that violate food safety regulations, you should severely punish them in accordance with the law and never tolerate them.
