Carriers today do not see value in loss control – our ranks have dropped almost 50% in the last 10 years, and it continues.
So underwriters and claims folks, this is your bed, sleep tight!
Or, request the surveys and risk alerts to force your company staff loss control adequately.
Or, look for the government to solve our problems with laws.
I’m truely sorry about persons who’ve contracted illness from bad food. Just as I’m sorry thousands die each year from crashes, fires, falls. But I can only affect what I survey.
You just leave this one alone. We don’t need another federal law imposing expensive burdens on small businesses. The only thing I would support would be the recall signs. Otherwise, people should be responsible enough to watch the news and use the internet to monitor food recalls.
I agree with both comments, just post the necessary signs. Does this Senator need to make a further name for herself? we have enough regs already, businesses are choking on them – all this bureaucracy is such a waste of time only to further burden the taxpayers – “US”, get on with it and do your job!
This is the way of centralized big government, all parties.
Next everyone will be required to have a chip implanted in their bodies so the nanny in DC can make sure we don’t hurt ourselves.
Time to vote out all incumbents every election. Or try them for treason.
Had the regulators been doing the jobs that the taxpayer paid them for, we would not need such a law. If you read the details, this “farm” had numerous violations and the owner/principal had had various run ins with the authorities over a period of decades. they should have been all over him like white on rice from day one, with is history… This law puts the burden really where it does not belong, on a store that has every right to expect a clean product from the producers and which various fed agencies are charged with overseeing.
Sue, stop the political cant. Even this liberal agrees with the call that this is a burden that doesn’t belong on these stores. And then what…if they miss notifying someone who gets diarrhea, then they get to get sued?
Hey Cassandra
Am I not entitled to my opinion? Only if i agree with yours?
I hate big government. It is wasteful and is a drain on what I believe is our way of life.
If you want someone to take care of you, great. You pay for it. If you want to take care of ohters, great, you write the check. Don’t confiscate my property/income to pay for your or others inability to manage their lives.
This article is typical of the things many of us hate about where our country is going, and I will not “Stop the political cant.”
November is coming.
Washington already tried to get a national ID card w/ radio chip technology including biometrics — REAL ID — which failed politically. REAL ID has now been rebranded as “PASS ID” (kind of like “torture” was rebranded as “enhanced interrogation” — same thing, different name) and they are going to try again.
What they want to do is make sure ALL state drivers licenses meet “federal standards” — and these standards will include that your drivers license contains digital links to your birth certificate, SSN, as well as your persional biometric information (fingerprints, face recognition, DNA, palm print, iris, odor, even typing rhythm, gait and voice…link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics).
This data will be contained on an RFID chip (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification) which is a tiny radio chip that can be read from currently several meters away. Defense contracts are working on much longer-range read capabilities for the chips.
Imagine you are attending a “tea party” rally… and everyone in the rally has an RFID-equipped REAL ID compliant drivers license in their pocket. An FBI agent could casually stroll through the rally with a reader, collecting all personal information about every attendee. COINTELPRO has already proven this is not just possible but plausible. The NYTimes today released a story that the biggest civil rights photojournalist was an FBI informant.
RFID chips don’t have to be on your drivers license either. They are being developed to be a part of cell phones, in credit cards, embedded in clothing, implanted under the skin, in product packaging etc. If you live in Dallas you may have had an RFID chip for many years — the Dallas North Tollway “TollTag” was one of the first viable commercial uses of the technology.

I agree with you, Youngin’.
Are grocery stores now required to collect customer phone numbers and email contact information?
What size grocery store would be covered?
Mom & Pop stores coverd? C-Stores?
“Dirty water” hot dog cart on a NYC street corner?
Notices in English only or other languages as well?
What is next?

Maxine,
Sad to say, it my Senator. I think its all that she has done since she was appointed to fill the seat her nibs vacated to be Sec of State.
It could be worse. It could be Schumer.

The federal government (US HHS) already has a program to track preschoolers using RFID chips — paid for by the stimulus bill. (link: http://www.infozine.com/news/stories/op/storiesView/sid/43435/)
