This report examines the conceptual relationships between food
safety and international trade and analyzes empirical examples from
the meat and poultry, produce, food and animal feed crop, and
seafood sectors.
This report examines how product liability law treats personal
injuries attributed to microbially contaminated foods. The risk of
lawsuits stemming from microbial foodborne illness and the
resulting court-awarded compensation may create economic incentives
for firms to produce safer food. It is not known how many consumers
seek compensation for damages from contaminated foods because
information about complaints and legal claims involving foodborne
illness is not readily accessible, especially for cases that are
settled out of court. Reviewing the outcomes of 175 jury trials
involving foodborne pathogens, the analysis identifies several
factors that influence trial outcomes, while noting that the awards
won by plaintiffs tend to be modest.
The Senate Report 111-039 accompanying S. 1406, the 2010
Agriculture Appropriations Bill, requested that the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) prepare and
publish a report regarding consumer perceptions of canned fruits
and vegetables. In the absence of consumer surveys, the report
relies on consumption and spending estimates to reveal attitudes of
the U.S. population toward canned produce. This report updates
Canned Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in the United States: Report
to Congress (October 2008), using more recent data through 2008,
where available.
