If you’re looking for a TL;DR:
People are using bucatini as eco-friendly straws, but uncooked pasta isn’t safe so the FDA temporarily blocked it or something.
- valleyer 6y agoThe straws theory is mentioned, yes, but the article specifically details how the FDA action was based on the measured iron content of De Cecco's pasta, and it also discusses reasons for scarcity of other manufacturers' bucatini.
- jakear 6y agoMore interesting is that the FDA apparently never spot checks these sorts of things, so the claim is Big Pasta has some sort of axe to grind against De Cecco.
- jeffbee 6y agoThe straw theory doesn’t make physical sense. It would take a week to drink a soda through a noodle.
