Food, it's a part of everyone's daily routine. Most
of the time we just eat it and don't give it a second thought. But
sometimes not everything goes so well. You could get sick or even die
from eating food that wasn't properly prepared and cared for. Luckily for
us Americans we have someone watching our backs. The F.D.A. is that
administration. This essay will explain how they try to keep our food
supply as safe as possible.
The F.D.A. consists of over six hundred
investigators working out of offices all over the country. They work with
federal agencies and work their way down to the consumers to make sure they are
at all the possible sources of contamination.
With all the millions of the tons of food that is
imported to our country every year it is impossible for them to keep everything
one hundred percent safe. They do however try to cover all the places
food comes in through. They have inspectors at our boarders and even in
foreign countries to make sure the food being imported is up to our high U.S.
standards. If something makes its way in and it ends up being unsafe, the
F.D.A. works quickly to see how the problem started and they will make sure it
won't happen again.
The F.D.A. covers a lot of different areas, but it
is up to us the consumer to educate ourselves in proper food handling. They can
only do so much though! We are the final inspectors!!
