Statement on Institute of Medicine Report on Food Safety

Here is the first paragraph from a statement issued by Leavitt Partners in June. It is still relevant, especially in light of the current, massive egg recall.

"June 8, 2010

The release today of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council (NRC) report "Enhancing Food Safety: The Role of the Food and Drug Administration," drives home the need for modernizing the food safety system in the United States. The report calls for a prevention-oriented, risk-based approach to allocate food safety resources and efforts. This theme, while a familiar one echoed by the broader food safety community, is difficult to implement."

Here is a link so you may read the entire statement. It may surprise you. Let me know if you agree or disagree with them.
