Did you even read that link? That does not apply to things like protein powder, or meal replacement drinks like this discussion is about.

>Others make their supplements in unsanitary factories

That's equally true of all sorts of food.

No, it isn't, thanks to the FDA.

Oh I see, the FDA has magic powers that make all food products perfectly safe, which is why we never have problems with food born illness right? But that magically doesn't apply to a certain class of food products you want to pretend are different even though the FDA says they are not different and applies the exact same standards to them.

No, the FDA makes food safer than supplements are.

You have no idea how bad food was prior to the FDA.
