Food Safety Modernization Act and Biosurveillance
The hosts investigate why the FDA has failed to implement food facility registrations required by the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act. They link this delay to the establishment of a "Biosurveillance Advisory Committee" and suggest a "big setup" involving recent E. coli outbreaks.
Peanut Butter Salmonella Recall and Food Safety Modernization Act
A major salmonella recall involving Sunland Incorporated peanut butter has affected brands at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target. Adam Curry points out the suspicious timing, noting that the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was supposed to prevent such outbreaks through mandatory facility registrations starting October 1, 2012. He highlights a red-bordered notice on the FDA website stating that these registrations are not being accepted, suggesting the outbreak is a "setup" for further regulation.
