FDA to bakery: Love is NOT an ingredient
FDA to bakery: Love is NOT an ingredient
A Massachusetts company bakes with love and the FDA is not happy.
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent a 5-page warning letter to the head baker and CEO of the bakery called Nashoba:
“I really like that we list ‘love’ in the granola,” Nashoba Chief Executive Officer John Gates told Bloomberg. “People ask us what makes it so good. It’s kind of nice that this artisan bakery can say there’s love in it and it puts a smile on people’s face. Situations like that where the government is telling you you can’t list ‘love’ as an ingredient, because it might be deceptive, just feels so silly.”
The FDA said in a statement that this was not among their top concerns citing sanitary issues as a bigger violation.
Gates said the bakery would comply with the FDA and send them a response, but he is disappointed.
