In a stunningly refreshing admission, Canadian Health Minister Tony Clement said Wednesday that Canada lags behind the rest of the world in its systems for ensuring food and products are safe, stating,

"In all seriousness, we have fallen behind the rest of the world when it comes to some of our enforcement."

Thank you. I’ve been saying the same thing for years.

However, the story says that in an effort to ease consumers’ minds about food and product safety, the federal government has created a new website that will provide details about current recalls and problematic companies.

Enforcement requires more than a website.
