Defending Food Safety: The Best of 2009
It’s been less than 12 months since we launched www.defendingfoodsafety.com. And, 2009 was, without question, a very interesting and dynamic year.
During the past year, we reported extensively on the PCA recall and fallout, analyzed pending legislation and regulatory initiatives, followed with interest the swine (or, H1N1) flu, tracked numerous emerging outbreaks and recalls, and introduced our readers to many fascinating food safety technological breakthroughs. Since entering the blogosphere, we have logged over 75,000 visitors, and we continue to attract more.
It’s been a great year, and we are thankful to everyone who continues to visit. And, before diving into 2010, here’s a quick survey of (only) some of the best from 2009:
- The US Is Not Alone. No Matter Where You Live, Reports Of Food-Borne Illness Outbreaks Are Likely To Increase
- Advance Series On Managing Food-borne Illness Outbreaks And Claims
- Uncovering The Truth - Some Food-Borne Illness Claims Lack All Merit
- From Drywall to Dry Foods - The Ominous Threat Posed By China
- Do Some Consumers Really Relish Recalled Products?
- 328.5 Billion Safe Meals (Not Including Snacks)
- In Defense of the Rule of Law: Peanut Recall
- Fast Food Saves Lives In Fruitland
- Food Safety At 35,000 Feet

Again, it’s been a great year for all of us at defending food safety. We, of course, wish you the same for 2010.
