The CDC has just issued its latest report on foodborne illness and food safety progress from 2006 to 2013.
It’s report has a couple of frowny faces—Campylobacter and Vibrio cases are up—and nothing else has changed.
Laboratory diagnoses of other foodborne microbial illnesses are also rising.
The food industry needs to do a better job of producing safe food.
Let’s hope the new food safety rules go into effect soon and get followed.
I am honored (hugely) to be the recipient of the 2023 Edinburgh Medal, at which I give a speech as part of the Edinburgh Science Festival. My talk, “Food Politics: Why it Matters Now” is at 7:00 p.m. Information about the Science Festival is here. A Tweet announcing my award is here.
