Whilst looking at the new Home page, I saw the product recall and withdrawal tabs.

 

I must admit, I don't envy you in the USA. Here in the UK, everything (theoretically) goes through the FSA, but it appears that in USA you have at least 4 different agencies reporting on withdrawals and recalls (CDC, USDA, FDA, CFIA) .

 

How on earth do you keep up with it all? Am I missing the bigger picture?

 

I already subscribe to the FSA alert system, and I monitor the RASFF portal (European notifications) and I'm always horizon sweeping other countries recalls etc so that I can build up an historic picture for my HACCP justifications. Looks like I might spend longer on the internet that even I anticipated! Newsgirl does a cracking job too!!

Mostly I spend my mornings sitting in the shower with a cup of coffee crying.

 

CDC has a newsletter but it's mostly useless, tbh I don't entirely know what CFIA does, and the FDA has a giant all in one newsletter

You cry with your coffee in the shower?  I cry with my coffee at the table so it doesn't get watered down and then I take my shower to wash away the dirty feelings of hating the bad people in food manufacturing. 

 

I like strong coffee.
