Taking Food & Drug Safety Seriously Posted by Reggie at 05/29/07 03:33 PM

"China's former top drug regulator was sentenced to death Tuesday for taking bribes to approve untested medicines, as the country's main quality control agency announced its first recall system targeting unsafe food products."

This article in the Guardian is well worth reading. While The United States would never take as draconian an approach, the stakes are very high in terms of public safety and the economic impact of the public losing confidence in the safety of food and drugs.

In addition to this site relating to food safety, Consumers Union maintains a campaign and blog relating to drug safety.

I read your previos post, not in Fido's food either. I thought you might be interested in what they found in packaged dog food this time: acetaminophen. The story just broke this week. I really want to know when they are going to identify the brands found to contain acetaminophen. As soon as they do I will be posting them on my blog. Thanks for spreading the word. This should really be getting more air time. I have some vet recommended menu suggestions and am no longer buying packaged pet food.
