Today's NYT has an article on food safety.

<<Although much of the fear surrounding food safety focuses on meat and poultry, especially beef, the General Accounting Office estimates that 85 percent of food poisoning comes from the fruits, vegetables, seafood and cheeses that are regulated by the F.D.A. and claim a larger share of the American diet each year. And poisoning from such foods can be every bit as deadly as that from meat and poultry.

Still, the F.D.A. has less than a tenth of the inspectors of the Department of Agriculture, which regulates the meat and poultry industry. So while U.S.D.A. inspectors examine meat before it gets to grocery freezers, the F.D.A. must increasingly rely on the companies it regulates to keep their factories clean and their products safe.
