US Shutdown Is Affecting Food Safety

Description

According to CNN, the US Food and Drug Administration stopped some routine food safety inspections at the start of the government shutdown three weeks ago. On Tuesday, the FDA resumed some food safety inspections. However, Inspectors who are back on the job are doing so without pay. According to food safety attorney, Bill Marler, even when there isn't a government shutdown, the FDA doesn't have enough inspectors, noting that 80% of the food that falls under the jurisdiction of the FDA is inspected. The bottom line is use common sense measures: rinse off any vegetables and fruits, do not eat raw meat, and do what you should always be doing when preparing food.
