I am encouraged by the steps President Obama is taking to improve the nation’s food safety system. The food safety working group he created in March recently presented him with their initial recommendations on Tuesday, July 7. In addition, the administration created a post of deputy food commissioner to coordinate food safety tasks.
The recommendations were praised by groups briefed on the plan, such as Safe Tables our Priority, for focusing on prevention.
With Tuesday’s announcements, I am hopeful our country is on the right track. Still, we have a great deal of work to be done before reaching our ultimate goal of safe food.
