Tell the FDA to fix it now!

FDA is currently taking comments on their Food Protection Plan, and there are some very specific suggestions for them. These suggestions include having more FDA inspectors on the ground, having control over where imported food comes from, and having mandatory recall authority.

FDA-2008-N-0188, Food Protection Plan; Outreach Activities; Opportunity for Public Comment, can be found at www.regulations.gov.

This article from the SF Chronicle is a good review and why it is important to get the legislation right.
