How vulnerable is the nation's food supply? Linking food safety and food security.
This paper reviews the food safety regulatory apparatus in place today. It examines the system's strengths and vulnerabilities, particularly in light of the post-September 11 environment that includes the added threat of terrorism. The paper touches upon legislative and budgetary proposals aimed at improving food security, including the growing but debated interest in a single food safety agency.
