00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel, in this video, I will explain Poisoned, the dirty truth about
00:04your food, so, let's begin.
00:07The Netflix documentary Poisoned the dirty truth about your food investigates the current
00:11situation of the food industry in the United States.
00:14For decades, consumers have been told that the food supply in the United States is the
00:18safest in the world, but is there any truth to the statement?
00:21Well, not really.
00:24With millions getting affected by foodborne diseases in the United States, it is evident
00:28that the safety regulators have failed the consumers over and over again.
00:32Director Stephanie Sochtig, best known for Under the Gun and Fed Up, dares to directly
00:36ask unsettling questions to the authorities, making the documentary impactful.
00:41How did the US counter E. coli in hamburgers?
00:44Sochtig visits a supermarket with food safety lawyer Bill Marler, who has dedicated 30 years
00:49of his life to fighting cases on behalf of victims.
00:52Marler points out that most of the fresh vegetables and raw meat found in the market are contaminated.
00:58Romaine lettuce is infamous for being one of the most contaminated vegetables, and since
01:01it is not cooked, it poses all the more danger.
01:05Cut fruits are, of course, dangerous because consumers eat them directly from the box.
01:10To better understand the food safety situation, the documentary takes us back to 1993.
01:15People, in general, did not think much about the E. coli spread when the news first broke
01:19out.
01:20But gradually, the number of affected people in Washington kept on increasing as the disease
01:25started to spread more and more rapidly.
01:28Children were particularly at risk since the toxin released from E. coli O157 affected
01:32every organ of the body, ultimately leading to multiple organ failure and death.
01:37It was soon found that the undercooked hamburgers sold at Jack in the Box were responsible for
01:41the outbreak.
01:42While bacteria found in steaks die when seared, in minced meat, the situation is complicated.
01:48Since minced meat consists of meat from different animals, the chances of the product being
01:52infected are higher.
01:54Fresh out of law school, Bill Marler was deeply disturbed upon seeing the impact of
01:58the disease, especially after knowing how it could have all been easily avoided.
02:02Perfectly healthy individuals were falling ill simply because they decided to have a
02:06hamburger.
02:07From then on, Marler decided to fight for the victims.
02:11Darren DeWeiler was devastated upon seeing his 16-month-old son, Riley, at the hospital
02:16as a result of a secondary E. coli infection.
02:19The doctors gave up when Riley developed hemolytic uremic syndrome.
02:23There was no chance of him recovering, and the parents decided to pull him off life support
02:27and hold him close to their hearts one last time.
02:30The Washington State Advisory notified the eateries to cook the meat they served at 155
02:35degrees.
02:36But Jack in the Box knowingly ignored the requirement and continued to serve undercooked
02:39hamburgers.
02:41In a television interview, the president of iJack in the Box, Robert Nugent, denied the
02:45rumor and implied that the company was complying with the law.
02:49The company was in jeopardy when Bill Marler found evidence that proved that they were
02:52not following the regulations.
02:54After going through the documents he had received from iJack in the Box, he found out that an
02:58employee had notified the authorities about the customer complaints regarding undercooked
03:02hamburgers.
03:04The email exchange proved that the company had received the regulation and decided that
03:07they would continue to cook their meat at the temperature that they previously did.
03:11To counter the problem at hand, Bill Clinton brought people capable of bringing change
03:15on board.
03:16Mike Taylor played an important role in altering the official policy of the USDA, which offered
03:21little to no solution to the problem.
03:23The onus of the entire situation fell upon the consumers and not on the regulatory board.
03:28Taylor decided that it was crucial to declare E. coli O157 an adulterant and that action
03:33would be taken in case raw ground beef was found to be contaminated in the marketplace.
03:38It was a quick action that helped in eradicating a disease that stemmed from hamburgers, but
03:42the same cannot be said about the other products that are still available in the market.
03:46Why is the US failing to eradicate Salmonella?
03:49In 2018, there was another E. coli outbreak, and this time it was the lettuce that infected
03:54the consumers.
03:56Even if the consumer bought organic lettuce, it could still be infected since it was not
03:59pathogen-free.
04:01Lettuce is exposed to animal waste on farms, and that is why it carries the bacteria.
04:06Lack of regulation of animal wastes is another leading cause of foodborne disease.
04:11Stephanie Sochtig interviews spokepersons from the USDA and FDA, the USDA is responsible
04:16for meat, poultry, egg products, and catfish, while the FDA is responsible for regulating
04:21the remaining 80% of the US food system.
04:24Sandra Eskin, deputy undersecretary for food safety, repeatedly mentioned that the USDA
04:29does not have the authority to look into the contamination of irrigation water.
04:33The discussion was limited to what was already known.
04:36In 2009, Salmonella started to spread widely as a result of infected peanuts.
04:42The Peanut Corporation of America supplied peanuts to various brands, and their lack
04:46of accountability resulted in the outbreak.
04:49According to former employee Kenneth Kendrick, there was a leak in the roof that brought
04:52in bird crap, and the plant had mice sprawling all around.
04:56When informed about the deteriorating condition of the plant, Stuart Parnell, the owner of
05:00Peanut Corporation of America, ordered Kendrick not to speak a word about it.
05:04Not only was Parnell aware of the plant condition, but he also knew that his product tested positive
05:09for Salmonella.
05:10But instead of rejecting the lot, Parnell advised retesting over and over again unless
05:14it was negative.
05:16There came a point when there were no negative results, and that was when they started to
05:20forge the results.
05:21There was a large-scale recall of products when the disease started to spread.
05:26Stuart Parnell was brought down when the FDA teamed up with the Department of Justice.
05:30Ultimately, Parnell was sentenced to 28 years in prison.
05:34Parnell did not suffer from guilt, for him, it was just business and numbers, and even
05:38today, he continues to appeal.
05:41In 2010, there was a massive egg recall after another Salmonella outbreak.
05:46Jack DaCosta, a known name in the egg industry with over 50 years of experience, is infamous
05:51for running unclean farms.
05:53After years of running his business scot-free, he received a three-month prison term for
05:57it.
05:58Stephanie Sochtig also questions the senior vice president of Purdue, Bruce Stewart Brown,
06:02about the safety measures taken by their company.
06:05Purdue is one of the four prominent names in the egg industry, and they granted the
06:08team of All Poisoned the dirty truth about your food access to their facility.
06:13While Purdue demonstrates the many safety measures they take to make sure that the eggs
06:16are not contaminated, the results of the tests conducted by the documentary team make one
06:21question the truth of it.
06:23One of the most important reasons for the continued spread of Salmonella is said to
06:26be the lack of treatment of poultry at the farming level since USDA regulations begin
06:30only at the slaughter level.
06:32Upon testing five samples of store-bought chicken, the one that tested positive for
06:36Salmonella was Purdue's.
06:38When confronted about it, Brown stated that a single case cannot be used to make any deductive
06:42statement.
06:43So, the team went ahead and collected 150 samples for testing in a short span of time
06:48from different states.
06:50By the end of Poisoned the dirty truth about your food, the result was revealed, and the
06:54Salmonella positivity rate for the overall sample was found to be 17%.
06:59And Purdue did not pass the test since 29% of its sample tested positive.
07:04The company maintains that it tries its best to make sure that its products are free from
07:09Salmonella.
07:10Bill Marler called for a ban on 31 strains of Salmonella in his petition to the USDA.
07:15After the petition was filed by Marler, the USDA banned Salmonella in a few chicken products,
07:20though Salmonella is allowed in most products.
07:24Poisoned the dirty truth about your food puts forward the problem at hand in a thought-provoking
07:27way.
07:28The documentary binds together stories of personal losses and the entire argument around
07:33food safety in a concise manner.
07:35That's all for now folks, I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks

07:42day, take care, bye!
