Food's Risky Business

In the latest issue of the Global Food Safety Monitor, IATP's Steve Suppan covers the communications challenges food companies and regulators face when food safety disasters strike. Suppan dissects the swine flu outbreak, new regulations on genetically modified foods in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and the absence of traceability on the food chain. Back issues and subscription info (it's free!) can be found at the Global Food Safety Monitor page.
