The Turkey Recall: Another Sign Our Food System Is Broken

The Turkey Recall: Another Sign Our Food System Is Broken is pretty staggering.

"But CDC investigations show that turkey-related illnesses have been reported for months.  Despite the reports, the USDA took its own sweet time insisting on a recall. The rationale for the delay is--get this--the USDA believes it does not have the authority to order recalls for any contaminant except E. coli O157:H7. It has no authority to recall meat contaminated with Salmonella or other toxic forms of E. coli."

This is the kind of crap I expected under the Bush administration.
