Food Safety Across Borders

More and more people these days want to know where their food comes from. How can we tell if it’s safe? How do we know what country it came from? What does animal identification have to do with meat, eggs and dairy products that we enjoy? In this Chew on This podcast, Dr. Barbara Masters, Senior Policy Advisor at Olsson Frank Weeda P.C and former Administrator of the USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service, talks about the safety of food imported into the U.S. and answers questions about labeling and animal identification.

Over 50 audio features are available on wide-ranging topics, including: pet and human health, food safety, dog bites and animal welfare, etc.
