FDA Decides It No Longer Must Protect You From Substandard French Dressing

That they were regulating French dressing is somewhat amazing. That they decided they will give up that bit of power after 71 years is even more remarkable. FDA deregulates French dressing.

Your tax dollars hard at work protecting you from substandard varieties of French dressing. All of which are probably an insult to the French.

The 1950 definition for French dressing wasn’t particularly specific, even noting that tomato-based ingredients were “permitted, but not required.” Low-fat varieties, however, were not meeting the standard that 35 percent of the product by weight must be vegetable oil.

I wonder what other salad dressing regulations are still on the books.

More proof that there is no part of life that government does not want to control.
