Why would they be destroying baby formula? I don't get it. Is baby the formula expired? At least you can donate it to pig farmers. They would love it.

Screen shots:





YouTube video. One min.

A spokesperson for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services told WRAL News that these programs destroy any formula that’s been returned to their offices, even if it’s unexpired and unopened.

Formula is often returned when families seek different options for their children or doctors switch them to another prescription.

The state said it’s followed the USDA recommendation since 2019.

“This approach ensures safety,” the guidance reads. “Unused, returned infant formula may have been inappropriately stored (e.g., exposed to extremely high temperatures), may be past its use-by-date, or subjected to tampering.”

That’s their excuse? It’s like 700,000 containers of baby formula just in what’s visible at the time. He’s claiming these are returns? Every container on the pallet is identical.

That's a lot of returned formula....like many many many truckloads worth. There's got to be something else going on here.

They do the same thing at retail level. If formula is returned it is destroyed.

Know what they don't do at those offices?

Neatly stack the formula on multiple pallets before stacking and shrink wrapping them.

This is not returned formula in the pics.

Everything the government touches goes to shite.

So they buy up formula, creating a market shortage of some size, the people they're giving it away to doesn't want it, so they pay to destroy the formula they bought.

All with fricking taxpayer dollars. No consequence to the users who refused, nor the government who wasted the money.

So these families had pallets of formula still in the wrapping?

The government is number 4 on Milton Freeman's list of how to efficiently spend money starting with the most efficient:

1. You spend your own money on yourself.
2. You spend your own money on someone else.
3. You spend someone else's money on yourself.
4. You spend someone else's money on someone else.

All of the same brand and same size - it's just coincidence you guys. All of this was returned, believe us. Totally returned.

Stupid but I guess it’s cheaper/safer to toss out than have someone evaluate the containers and confirm it has not been opened.

that looks like powdered formula, which lasts a really long time and can easily and quickly be tested for a broken seal.

You wouldn’t dare suggest that our wonderful, benevolent government is lying, would you?

Imagine the liability nightmare of being forced to dole out returned product with unverifiable chain of custody. People put shite in kids Halloween candy for frick’s sake.

Truck loads of returned product of the same brand?

Like I said. Call up the local pig farmers they would be glad to dispose of the baby formula for you and do if for free.
