stated in the simplest terms, the recognized solution to the problem of foodborne illness is a comprehensive prevention strategy that involves all participants in the food system, domestic and foreign, doing their part to minimize the likelihood of harmful contamination. And that is the strategy mandated by FSMA. It is not a strategy that assumes we can achieve a zero-risk food supply, but it is a strategy grounded in the conviction that we can better protect consumers and the economic vigor of the food system if everyone involved implements reasonably available measures to reduce risk.

The FSMA strategy recognizes that the food industry has the primary responsibility and capacity to produce safe food, but it calls for a new definition of public and private roles on food safety and a modern new framework for regulatory oversight, integration of government food safety efforts, and public-private collaboration.

The Testing Dilemma Immaturity of food safety profession Lab testing is expensive and results are slow Ship versus not ship Data can be dangerous Positive result? What to do? False negatives Federal access to records RNA or DNA? Opinions - microbiologists, food safety experts Market confusion Prevention even if we find it, how do we prevent it?
