Everyone thinks it was banned years ago, but actually no ban exists.

Also, it goes to show you that most companies will just do the bare minimum required by the law. This is why we need to temper capitalism with some (good) government oversight.

Honestly, how many layers have failed when people can test random products off store shelves and find so many cases of contamination?
