Food Safety & Fresh Produce Part 2

As Americans, we live in relative abundance. Although people living in certain parts of the world, and in certain parts of our own country, do not have enough food, the American food supply is quite abundant. The safety of that food, however, is becoming less secure.

In its recent publication, Food Safety and Fresh Produce, CAST has succinctly addressed some of the very food safety issues indicated by the Administrations Food Safety Working Group. This publication is an important contribution of science to the public. It is focused directly at the consumer level and arms consumers with knowledge about how to best prevent foodborne illness related to fresh produce. The publication clearly sets out the need for a complete farm to table food safety network involving all points in the production-processing-distribution-preparation food chain. CAST offers this publication for free at its website.
