"Food Safety: Symptoms

"Unintended Consequences
Make Food Less Safe"

"Food safety" practices have caused serious environmental
harm and may actually be counterproductive to keeping our food
safe. Much harm has occurred following the spinach E. coli
outbreak in 2006, though systemic problems were brewing before
that incident. This event brought together regional and national
speakers to address the important and pressing issue of current
food safety practices that threaten the sustainability of our
food systems, as well as human health and wildlife. Fresh perspectives
and the latest research on critical U.S. food safety challenges
were addressed.
