@frankyiannas
- Notifications today by health officials of 73 people ill in 22 states, beginning in early August and all associated with onions with use-by dates in August, almost two months ago. Why are the consumer advisories so late? We CAN do better.
@ConsumerReports
- Honestly, sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat
@SecVilsack
- .@USDA and @POTUS are committed to continuing the long history of WIC to improve health and developmental outcomes for women and children across the country.
- I spoke with students taking part in the @WorldFoodPrize Global Youth Institute about the state of the agriculture and food industries and how their leadership will be key to ensure the food system of the future is more equitable, competitive, and resilient.
@US_FDA
- We also issued a safety alert advising restaurants/retailers not to serve or sell and consumers not to eat oysters from Future Seafoods, Inc., based in Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, Canada, potentially contaminated with Salmonella and E. coli.

USDA Announces Suspension of Cranberry Marketing Order Provisions
@ConsumerReports
- Products rich in cocoa solids, like dark chocolate and cocoa powder, tend to be higher in heavy metals—but our testing of 48 different products reveals some are safer than others.
@SecVilsack
- Under the Biden-Harris Administration, @USDA is committed to supporting our farmers, ranchers, and producers by leveling the playing field and creating more competition.
- No child should go hungry in America. It is incumbent on Congress to fully fund WIC and continue the 25-year track record of bipartisan consensus to make sure every eligible low-income mom, infant, and child can get the vital nutrition they need to thrive.
- Today, I’m announcing improved standards for organic livestock and poultry producers that will level the playing field for organic farmers, ranchers and businesses and promote more competitive markets for their products. This is just one of many actions @USDA has taken under the Biden-Harris Administration to support organic producers. We have listened to the industry and strengthened enforcement of organic labeling, created pathways for producers to transition to organic production, and more.
