The FDA has had trouble quickly pinpointing the source of national outbreaks of food-borne illness a task complicated by a lengthy food supply chain where tomatoes might change hands five times from farm to store.

This will help ensure that antibiotics are used only address diseases and health problems and not for enhancing growth and other production purposes.
Preventive practices are the best tool to reduce the incidence of food-borne illnesses because they provide the greatest control over the potential risks of contamination
and are generally the most cost-effective. These practices are developed best by growers, handlers, processors,
to develop specific guidance for the commodities most often associated with food-borne illness outbreaks.
One of those animals, a cow, secretes milk that lacks an allergy-inducing protein because researchers accurately blocked its production using the technique of RNA interference1.
