US: Produce traceability blog tracks food safety legislation

Food safety legislation has become a visible and somewhat controversial topic of late. A number of produce and food recalls has emphasized the need to strengthen the way food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, is tracked.
Both the United States Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives have been working to pass versions of food safety bills to improve the safety of food sold in the United States.
ProduceTraceabilityNews.com (http:www.producetraceabilitynews.com) tracks the progress of pending legislation and posts timely updates for its readers and subscribers. The blog-style website serves as a clearinghouse of information about produce traceability and produce safety issues.
