The proposed food safety legislation is designed to make the movement of product between international affiliates of transnational corporations a burdenless affair. Its other achievement will be to overburden, and eventually eliminate, regional- and community-based foodsheds with costly regulations. But under the inappropriate use of HACCP, the safety of our food supply will not be improved.
It's high time we demystify the corporate propaganda and reject industry-crafted food safety reform based on fraud. The next tainted product we recall should be Michael Taylor's adulterated and misbranded HACCP plan before more bodies are added to the pile.
