That mold is nothing.

I found toxic, highly flammable oil refinery waste in a jug of ice tea last year.

The worst part was I couldn't get any government agency to do anything about it and I had to pay a private lab to test it.

The EPA, who should have investigated because it might have been from a spill (the tea was made in Texas) didn't even log my complaint.

The FDA did a botched inspection of the plant that made the tea because the inspector wasn't given the lab results and didn't know what he was looking for. His official report concluded: "Didn't find source of contamination." Would have helped had he known what the contamination was.

The state and local Health Departments did nothing.

My conclusion: all of our food is highly suspect and our government doesn't do a thing about it.
