USDA’s Poultry Proposal Endangers Eaters, Not Just Employees | Food Safety News
USDA’s Poultry Proposal Endangers Eaters, Not Just Employees | Food Safety News.
If the experience of passing a new food safety law for FDA taught us anything, it is that consumers, industry, and regulators can work together to further the goals of public health. Similar consensus was reached in the mid‐1990s, when then‐Secretary Dan Glickman convened all stakeholders in a series of public meetings to map out a modern program for preventive controls in meat and poultry products.

When consumer and worker advocates speak out so strongly against a proposal like the one put forth by USDA to overhaul poultry, it should give everyone pause. Rather than speeding up the process and dashing for the getaway car, the agency should slow down and heed the alarms of its stakeholders.

Panels also alleged that in Czechoslovakia an unprecedented “discrimination of Sudeten Germans” took place, quoting a publication as its source that had been published in 1936 by the printing house of the Nazi Karl Hermann Frank. Frank, soon thereafter, had become a member of the inner circle of the Nazis in power in Prague and was later responsible for the Lidice Massacre.
