We all have to eat; it's one of the necessities of life. Thus, the
status of the food supply is of great concern to everyone. American
consumers spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually on food,
so someone has to keep the population relatively assured that they
are not purchasing contaminated condiments. Much of this
responsibility has fallen into the hands of government. Since the
passage of food safety laws in the early 1900s, the federal
government along with state and local agencies have overseen the
sanitary conditions of the US food industry. Overall, agencies like
the FDA have been successful in regulating food production.
However, occasional outbreaks of illnesses do occur, so food safety
remains an evolving art. This book provides an overview of
governmental oversight of the American food industry. The articles
give the history behind relevant agencies, legislation and
important events. In the unending quest to find good food, such a
collection becomes as necessary as eating.
