“The Department of Health and Human Services, which contains the CDC and FDA, has lost about 20,000 employees due to Trump administration cuts. Those cuts have caused the suspension of several FDA food safety assurance programs, including quality-control programs for Grade A milk and vegetables like spinach, and a program to improve the agency’s testing of aged cheese and pet food for bird flu.“
