Too lax regulations in US yet again.

USA food regulation is crazy

in most of the world a principle of prohibited untill proven safe is followed, in the land of free questionable chemicals in your food a principle of allowed untill proven unsafe is followed

Well... You can't really prove something is safe. You can only say "we were unable to demonstrate any link to known harm". PFAS was considered safe for decades. So was asbestos. Then the science got better, and we were able to show things we couldn't before.
