Increased Food Safety Concerns Due To Outsourcing

It seems to me that almost every industry is turning to outsourcing for the manufacturing of products and/or services. From health care, clothing and textile to our basic home phone service, almost every industry is jumping on the bandwagon. So it's no surprise that food manufacturers would soon follow this trend.
While outsourcing has it pros, it's the food safety concern that has companies recalling products left, right and center. How many cases of tainted products have we heard about since the start of the year? Stop counting because chances are those numbers may increase overtime. That is why this issue has become such a huge food safety debate. According to the Director of Food Safety for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, “If people cannot trace a product back to a supplier, the supplier has no incentives to keep their processes as clean and effective, in terms of food safety, as possible.” Seems to me though that the food industry would rather find another scapegoat for this issue. What do you think?

“We are all measured by inches, ages, numbers and all the outside things that don’t add up to who we are on the inside. So let your weight loss journey be one of self-acceptance every step of the way. If you are unhappy with yourself fifty pounds heavier you’ll probably feel the same way when you lose the weight. Happiness is not embedded in outward appearances.”
