So far, 2013 has been both a good and bad year for food safety. The good: We have made many advances, laboratory tests are getting faster and more accurate, food-safety programs are becoming more robust, and we have learned a lot about Salmonella and are realizing the true challenge it presents.
Only a few years ago, we would have been hard pressed to see more than a few weeks go by without reading about another large-scale E. coli O157:H7 (“E. coli”) outbreak or recall in the news.
Recently I have been reading a book by a philosopher who tells how the events in our lives that we may initially interpret as good may not turn out that way; similarly those events we initially see as bad may in fact lead to something good.
