Proudly Defending The Hard Working Americans Who Feed Our Families
So, here we go again. Thinking about food rather than eating it. But, that's okay.
Because helping food companies decrease the risk of potential litigation, finding the real source of an outbreak (when it does occur), helping a faultless company avert a crisis, working to extract an innocent food producer from a stray investigation, or simply proving decisively before trial that a food-borne illness claim lacks all merit, is well worth the small sacrifice of delaying a meal.
For nearly a decade, we have worked closely with industry and food safety professionals preventing litigation, managing outbreaks and defending claims. [MORE]

Thanks Shawn. I agree our food safety system may not be perfect, but it is the best in the world. I'm very concerned about the new proposed legislation that could cause major jumps in food prices because of increased record keeping and reporting.
Thank you for this helpful information.
Shawn points to an important areea that covers what you might call the preparation supply chain. I would like to compliment Shawn's perspective and add that the generational changes occuring in our culture contribute to the ongoing food contamination outbreaks that we see. Historically each member of this supply chain were more engrained with more focus on safety storage temperature, cook temperature and segregation of food product. Also, butchers and produce staff were considered skilled trades.
Today that does not appear to be the case as less people receive home or professional education, there are less farming families, and no home economics in the schools. When looking at food safety concerns and cost these issues need to be considered.
