Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Food Born Illness and Food Recalls

Consider Michael Olson’s Second Law of the Food Chain: The farther we go from the source of our food, the less control we have over what’s in our food.

According to the AI information robot: In the United States food typically travels between 1,500 to 2,500 miles from where it was grown to where it is eaten.

Given all those food miles, it is really quite amazing that we have anything good to eat at all, but we most certainly do. That said, occasionally something does go wrong, and bad things get into the food of good people. When that happens, the good people get sick and the bad food is recalled.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, there are typically 300 to 500 food recalls every year. The reasons foods are recalled include, contamination, undeclared allergens, foreign materials, improper packaging and mislabeling.

That there are so many food recalls, for so many reasons, leads us to ask:
