It sounds lovely.

They added this to a new product, a beef substitute.

And in fact, over 400 people around the United States were hospitalized, many of them with liver failure.

And the FDA began an investigation when they started recognizing a lot of people who are eating this food are getting sick.

And they looked for the usual suspects initially.

They looked for bacterial infections or contamination.

They looked for, you know, lead poisoning or mercury or something, some contaminant in the food.

And they couldn't find anything.

And they continued their investigation.

And then at some point, they had to start going through the ingredient list.

And then they came across this innocent-sounding thing called taro flour.

And they had to ask, well, what exactly is this?

And they went to the manufacturer, what is it?

And they said, oh, that's a new thing that we just added.

And here's the kicker.

The manufacturer was allowed to declare for themselves that it was safe.

The FDA doesn't rigorously test these new chemicals that get added to our food.

They rely on the manufacturers.

It's an honor system right now in the United States.
