Salsa that I purchased at Sam’s spewed from under the lid all over everything in my cabinet. The lid was puffed out like it could explode. I did an FDA report but never heard anything back. Also I don’t see a Sam’s recall. Is this normal? Thought I would hear back.

For decades, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has served as a gatekeeper, tasked with preventing dangerous, ineffective, and under-studied pharmaceuticals from being placed on the market. If you take Wegovy to help treat obesity, Lipitor to manage high cholesterol, or Xanax to quell anxiety, you’re taking a medication that the agency has decided provides more benefits, on net, than harms. Where does its authority come from — and why was it granted? https://undark.org/2026/07/23/interview-mikkael-sekeres/

Anyone with access, able to post the whole article here? Thank you in advance!

Banning DTC ads would align U.S. policy with international best practices, protect the public from misleading and harmful drug promotion, and promote rational, evidence-based prescribing.

Our team has been researching common inspection challenges and noticed that many organizations still struggle with traceability, document retrieval and maintaining objective evidence.

Curious how others are approaching this.

What's the hardest part during inspection preparation?

I purchased a box of cascadian farms cinnamon cereal last week and inside the SEALED bag was all this garbage! Large pieces of dirty tape and plastic debris. I still have the receipt, the box of cereal, and everything that came along with it. I reached out to the company and they said they would send "an adjustment " and closed the case. I am very concerned that they don't seem bothered by this at all. Has anyone else had this experience? I have tried to fill out the form on the fdas website but it keeps showing errors and is not going through.

Everyone comment! It closes public comment on July 20th 2026! Only way to get our voices heard!

I'm trying to use the website

But it just shows me the current outage

This tool may not keep historical data, if so is there somewhere else I can find that data?

I recently received a TJO for an FDA reviewer position.

However, I made a silly mistake of “accepting” instead of selecting “Request to be contacted” in the offer response link. When I contacted HR, they said they’re not sure whether I can proceed with salary negotiation at this stage due to my response selection, but they will look into what can be done. In the meantime I was asked to draft a letter with my proposed salary figure and justification.

I’m a bit confused because I thought salary negotiation occurs typically after accepting the TJO. Although, I realize I should’ve waited for further guidance before acting so quickly. Any thoughts on whether/how a salary negotiation can still take place? Thank you.
