In 30 years of practice, I have on numerous occasions offered to FDA leadership the opportunity to meet directly with the people who consumed food that was tainted under the FDA’s watch. I have always thought that if they only had the chance to meet the victims and their families, they would understand just how important their jobs really are. Regardless of administration, I have yet to have a taker.

In late February, a marketing team member was training a coworker on how to send five winners of a “Free Bowls for a Year” drawing their notifications at once instead of one at a time. Instead of sending it to just one, it was accidentally sent to a different segment of Mad Rewards members that included 8,300 people!
