FDA Under Fire - AGAIN! Apr 24, 2007

FDA is once again being criticized for its actions (or shall we say inactions) with the recent spate of recalls. The Washington Post reported that FDA was aware of contamination problems at a Georgia peanut butter plant years before a salmonella outbreak. An FDA report shows that FDA inspectors checked into complaints about contamination in a ConAgra Foods plant in Georgia in 2005. This plant has now been closed.

Congress has scheduled hearings this week on the issue of contamination in our food supply. Stay tuned.

PREDICTION
Expect the FDA to adopt a Get Tough policy in their inspections.
