The best part:
In 1970, the FDA had concluded that its use in food was not generally recognized as safe because of toxicity concerns
So they knew it was likely not safe, gave the food manufacturers 50 years to find a substitute and then banned it.
I’m actually curious about that - I think it had significant reshoots and many of the villain’s lines are badly ADR’d. I’m guessing the final product had very little resemblance to what was in the script.
