Food supply at risk – Department of Health and Human Services slams FDA

The nation’s top food safety agency was slammed by the new government review for not effectively protecting the U.S. food supply. According to Department of Health and Human Services, the safety of the nation’s food supplies was compromised because FDA did not always follow its own guidelines to properly handle recalls.
