Latex allergy is progressive and is more prevalent than peanut allergies, ( from detailed research that I have done).

Many Dentists and a lot of restaurants are still using latex gloves. The latex protein is extremely small and sticks to everything.

My wife has to carry an epi pen and we have to check every restaurant for the gloves they use in prep.

Latex allergy was discovered at the same time as HIV in the 70’s. The FDA was not going to publish anything saying people should not use condoms.

Please ban latex in all food manufacturing and food prep, not to mention dental offices.

If the FDA was actually doing its job, then there would not be latex in food in the first place.

Instead of trying to create a ban on every substance inedible and/or harmful in our food supply that is not currently being blocked, why dont we simply Disband the FDA and create another more accountable institution in its place. It is clear that this current FDA has run its course, and is demonstrating that it is not only NOT doing its job (probably because the admins are enjoying nice boats and RVs from those who put latex in foods in the first place), but is actually a continuing threat to the food and pharmaceutical supply of the American People. Fix the problem at its source – cut down the rotten tree and plant another one, I think. My two cents. :slight_smile:
