Another weekly excursion to the grocery store, and I am approaching this trip as an adventure. The duration of my trips is increasing as I explore the origins of my food purchases. 

Another recall just came across the news feed. A few minutes before that, there was a news flash about a foodborne outbreak. It got me to thinking: What is the correlation, if any, between the foodborne outbreaks and recalls?

The notice proposes updated Salmonella performance standards for raw ground beef and new performance standards for beef manufacturing trimmings for establishments that produce more than 50,000 pounds of these products per day.

On August 6, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) published a notice in the Federal Register announcing proposed revised Campylobacter performance standards for not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) comminuted chicken and turkey.
