Viruses on our hotdogs!!????

This just completely horrifies me...

In August, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) ammended the food additive regulations to provide for the "safe" use of a bacteriophage preparation to be sprayed on ready-to-eat meat and poultry products as an antimicrobial agent against Listeria monocytogenes. This action is in response to a petition filed by Intralytix, Inc.

It doesn't have to be listed on the label. This is a combination of a couple different live viruses that supposedly only attack the Listeria bacteria. But if you were eating a food that was coated with live viruses, wouldn't YOU want to know about it???

Isn't it bad enough that mad f-ing scientists are splicing jellyfish genes into our fruits and vegetables that now they have to start coating our foods with live little nasties like this??
