Related...in Utah they used to have canning stores where you could bring goods to be canned and you just donated to the store for the canning supplies and use of the equipment. FDA regs put a stop to that out of a "fear of botulism" even though I've not heard of that ever being a problem. The Feds (and FDA in particular) have a history of doing things to prevent people from practicing food storage etc that aligns with being prepared. I suppose in this administration they will crack down on self-sufficient behaviors even more but now instead of making complaints about food safety they can just claim that the self-sufficiency is thinly-veiled "toxic whiteness". Such is the slippery slope toward democide/genocide.
