Briefly: New food Safety Czar

by Rabbi Avi Finegold · May 2nd, 2007

Farming, Food Safety, Grocery, Vegetables

Following up my previous post with this little update; the FDA has appointed a new head of food safety. the technical title according to the press release is “Assistant Commissioner for Food Protection”, though you can think of him as a salmonella and e. coli mashgiach. David Acheson, the man now responsible for the viability of your spinach (except for the bug-checking, natch) is the same guy who told NPR that bagged lettuce was not safe to eat. lets hope he’s ready to eat his words.
