One thing is certain – after watching it you will never consume supermarket chicken again or any salad leaves wrapped in plastic.

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

Poisoned favors reporting and analysis over shock emotional appeal, although there’s plenty to get angry about here.

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

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

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!

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.

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.
