Dr. Richard Raymond, the Agriculture Department’s undersecretary of food
Safety, said on CBS’s ""The Early Show” this morning that,

"I think the American meat supply is the safest in the world. A recall like this does  show that we are on the job, we are doing our inspections, our investigation, and we respond when we find problems to make sure that  supply is safe.”

Raymond joins the Brits, Canadians and Kiwis, who all apparently have the safest food supply in the world.

They can’t all be right.

Meanwhile, an Associated Press story notes cited a Topps official as saying over the weekend that the company has now augmented its procedures with microbiologists and food-safety experts.

I’m sure all this is a tremendous relief to the at least 25 individuals who have been barfing with E. coli O157:H7 in eight states.
