  1. Amazing! It “may” be contaminated… Is this is the way it is going to go, the USDA states that there is nothing wrong but the Dept. of Agriculture says that there is something wrong… oh, wait! They don’t say that at all, just that there could be something wrong AFTER the USDA says there is not. Has anyone ever heard of testing??? And for lack of that here is another “scare tactic” the gov’t is using.
