Description

Barry Leonard (ed). While the American food supply is among the safest in the world, there are still millions of Americans stricken by illness every year caused by food they consume, & 9000 a year die as a result. In Jan. ‘97, Pres. Clinton announced he would request $43.2 million in his ‘98 budget to fund a nationwide early-warning system for foodborne illness, increase seafood safety inspections, & expand food-safety research, training & education. This report discusses the current system for protecting food, outlines key administrative steps USDA, HHS, & EPA will take to reduce foodborne illness, & spells out in detail how agencies will use the new funds.
