The nation's food safety system is a "hazard to public health" and overdue for
an overhaul, President Barack Obama said on March 14, 2009 during his weekly
radio and video address to the Nation.
Obama cited a string of breakdowns in assuring food safety in recent years,
from contaminated spinach in 2006 to salmonella in peppers and possibly
tomatoes in 2008. These cases are a "painful reminder of how tragic the
consequences can be when food producers act irresponsibly and government is
unable to do its job," Obama said, noting that contaminated food outbreaks
have more than tripled from that of the early 1990s.
Obama said he takes food safety seriously, not just as a president but also as
the parent of two young daughters. "No parent should have to worry that their
child is going to get sick from their lunch," he said.
