Not to pick on your reply, but Wal*Mart does not process any meat in stores. It all comes from central processing plants. They also ONLY stock food that has been irradiated which is the safest possible. But many people are scared of it since it is relatively new.

I am not against inspectors at processing plants ... but they are there now. I don't believe that is what this bill addresses. Grocery stores are regularly inspected now, but you can not possibly have 100% inspection of all processing at all grocery stores. They are inspected randomly, they are required to maintain logs for everything from cooler temps and cleaning and sanitizing.

You could mandate that all process comes out of the store ... which has been the trend anyway. But you put a lot of people out of work and eliminate 'specialty markets", which I know we both like.

I think the answer is very stiff fines for any violations when an inspection occurs and multiple one shut down the market or processing plant.

There really is not a serious problem in this area.

If there is a food safety problem, it is in restaurants. Believe me I know. They are inspected too, but it is a joke.
