Geordie Gray The Australian One thing is certain – after watching it you will never consume supermarket chicken again or any salad leaves wrapped in plastic. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal For all the troubling appraisals, “Poisoned” is a thoroughly captivating program, one that does not ignore personal responsibility in the arena of food prep but also provides news you can use Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Chris Vognar Rolling Stone Poisoned favors reporting and analysis over shock emotional appeal, although there’s plenty to get angry about here. Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Sabrina McFarland Common Sense Media In Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food, viewers have often digested the statement that the United States has the safest food supply in the world. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest To make its powerful point, advocacy documentary is well-edited with a variety of constantly changing images and illustrative footage, and a broad choice of “talking heads” experts, including the tearful families of victims of preventable food poisoning. Rated: 8/10 Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Stewart “the Peanut King” Parnell was proven to have knowingly shipped tainted peanut products that killed people. He refused to eat his food at trial and was sentenced to 28 years in jail. Just the tip of the iceberg of this doc’s takeaways. Rated: 4/4 Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Gustavo R Yet another documentary about how big meat lobby pressures the government on lax or non existent regulation on food safety. Cliff notes on this film. Currently. Meat and even vegetable producers can sell products with e. Coli and salmonella, legally , with no repercussions. Because bug meat does not care about your health. They care about money. E. coli is a bacteria that grows in the intestines of warm bodies organisms. Read cows and pigs and expelled via fecal matter. When this 💩 is thrown into rivers that later are used to irrigate vegetables , that’s how you get e Coli on vegetables. And on meat is kind of obvios. So going vegan, not even organic, prevents you from getting food poisoning. But , it all starts with CAFO’s and the horrible and unsanitary and Petrie dish conditions of meat factories 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Netflix Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Georgan G Horrific information on how money made is more important to manufacturers than safe food. Equally horrific is how only 69% of viewers found this to be a problem. We can't let these rich corporations continue killing us! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Laurie H This documentary came out in 2023. Most of the evidence that they use happened at least 10 to 20 years ago, under the Clinton and Obama administration that they seemingly praise for higher regulation yet they just made the documentary complaining that we still have a problem. I wonder how much of this was sponsored by The Who and The WEF. Seems like perfect timing when they tell the global population to eat bugs, farmers are protesting across the world, and the US government pushing for further regulatory power over all industry specifically food. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review inta k quite interesting documentary of food problem in usa. kinda rip Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Valentino X A must watch and get inspired perhaps to grow your own food . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Sal D Very meaty documentary, which surprisingly does not pull punches despite its establishment, mainstream origins. I do wonder why Congresswoman DeLauro final pleading if the electorate to demand more of Congress - most Americans are sadly ignorant on the issue - and she is knowledgeable and powerful enough to stir a hornets nest on her own. That is not a critique but an ask. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
