NETFLIX viewers have been left feeling scared to eat meat ever again after disgusting scenes in the documentary Poisoned which promises “you’ll never look at store-bought food the same way.”
Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food takes a look at failing food health regulations that have led to deadly food-borne illnesses in the US and dismantles claims that North America has “the safest food in the world.”
Per the official synopsis, Poison “exposes how decades of apathy and malfeasance have left the American food supply and its consumers vulnerable to deadly pathogens like E. Coli and salmonella.”
The Netflix documentary, which comes in at just under an hour and thirty minutes runtime, is based on a 2011 book by Jeff Benedict called Poisoned: The True Story Of The Deadly E. Coli Outbreak That Changed The Way Americans Eat.
The series consults experts from across the US such as Food Safety News’ Publisher and food safety lawyer Bill Marler, as well as people personally impacted by food-borne illness.
