Food Safety
(2009-03-27)
(Interlochen Public Radio) - Michigan Agriculture Commissioner Don Coe says food safety issues pose a serious threat to the region's local food movement. He says more regulation of farms is coming and local growers might as well be part of making them work. But not everyone thinks the government can make food safer, given its recent failure to keep tabs on the peanut processer in Georgia that caused a deadly outbreak of salmonella. And they say burden falls unfairly on small farms. © Copyright 2012, Interlochen Public Radio
