The group, led by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, was set up by the Obama administration to assess the workings of the food safety network, following Obama’s promise of a ‘complete overhaul’ of the FDA early this year.
The USDA said that comprehensive improvement of the national food safety network will link regulatory actions with public health outcomes.
