A food safety working group established by the White House says the government working to boost the safety of some of the nation’s most popular foods. They announced stricter rules for the production of eggs, poultry, beef, leafy greens, melons and tomatoes.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that the White House and Congress are turning their attention to this issue after a series of food safety breakdowns in recent years, from contaminated spinach in 2006 to salmonella in peppers and possibly tomatoes last year.
The group is also directing the Food and Drug Administration to help the food industry establish better tracing systems in the event of an outbreak.
