Feb. 11 Webinar: Do More Food Recalls Mean Our Food Supply Is Less Safe, Or Is Testing Better?
 

Several food recalls have been in the news recently. What does this really mean for our food supply? Who issues recalls, and when do they issue them? What scientific research is underway to identify key food safety problems and how to manage them? What roles do academic, government, and industry players have in assuring food safety? Are we doing enough to ensure that our food is safe to eat? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ’57) discusses these questions with Valerie Watnick, Professor of Law and Chair of the Zicklin School Law Department, and Donald W. Schaffner, Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University, Department Chair, and Extension Specialist in Food Science. With an introduction by Dean Bruce Weber and Q&A moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb.
