Are dead humans being pumped into US food supply?!

Are top scientists warning about dead humans being pumped into the U.S. food supply?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Dead humans are being pumped into US food supply!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that top scientists are warning about dead humans being pumped into the U.S. food supply!

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) rambling and confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Top Scientists Sound the Alarm: ‘Dead Humans Being Pumped Into U.S. Food Supply’

The liquified remains of dead corpses are being quietly and deceitfully pumped into the U.S. food supply, according to the testimony of several top scientists.

Truth : Dead humans are not being pumped into US food supply!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Dead humans are not being pumped into US food supply

Let me start by simply pointing out that liquefied human remains are not being pumped into the US food supply.

If that actually happened, it would have been reported widely by the mainstream media all over the world, and resulted in criminal investigations and mass outrage. Yet, none of that happened, because it was all made up!

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article itself did not provide any evidence to back up its claim.

There was no warning by “top scientists”

The People’s Voice article claimed in its title and lede that “top scientists” testified that “liquified remains of dead corpses are being quietly and deceitfully pumped into the U.S. food supply“.

It turns out in the article that those “top scientists” were really just some “coroners and embalmers”… or even more impressively – a single anonymous “whistleblower coroner”.

Regardless of how “top” one may consider these “coroners and embalmers” to be, I don’t think they are considered “scientists” of any kind.

Human composting is common

Human composting is the natural organic reduction of human remains, in which human corpses are allowed to naturally decompose into the soil.

Natural decomposition of human corpses into soil is actually a long-standing practice. Muslims, for example, bury their dead without embalming or cremation. Instead, they quickly wash and bury their dead in a simple plain-cloth shroud without a casket.

Modern human composting services by companies like Recompose, accelerate the process to as little as 1-2 months, by encasing human corpses in wood chips, straw and alfalfa so thermophile microbes can quickly decompose the bodies.

In the US, such accelerated human composting services are legal only in a few states – California, Colorado, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Nevada.

Human compost is not used in food supply

There is no known case of human compost ever being introduced into the food supply. If the body is buried and allowed to naturally decompose in the soil, then the eventual compost would remain in the grave.

If the body undergoes accelerated composting, the compost is either kept by the family, or spread across forests – wherever the family prefers, and the landowner allows. Some companies offer a tree grave service, in which human compost is used to plant new trees, which the family and loved ones can visit in lieu of a traditional grave.

The People’s Voice is known for fake news

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should think twice about sharing anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice.  Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:
