Food Traceability

In a recent release, Tom Vilsack responded to the NY Times story on a tragic case of E. coli food poisoning that has changed a poor girl’s life forever. Mr. Vilsack states the Obama Administration has been aggressive on food safety and we applaud that effort. But, I’d also ask that more focus be put on traceability. Let’s face it, we’d all like to see the number of incidents decrease with better practices and inspections, but when that fails (when, not if), let’s have a solid traceability system that can respond quickly.
