Eggs contaminated by the Salmonella Enteritidis bacteria have been recognized as a public health problem since 1988. This report reviews the adequacy of the system for ensuring the safety of eggs. Specifically, it examines, whether (1) a prevention-based approach to food safety has been applied to egg production & processing, (2) a new federal policy on egg refrigeration will effectively reduce the risks associated with contaminated eggs, (3) federal & state policies on serving eggs to vulnerable populations & dating egg cartons are consistent, & (4) federal egg safety resources are used efficiently & policies are coordinated.Dyckman, Lawrence J. is the author of 'Food Safety U.S. Lacks a Consistent Farm-To-Table Approach to Egg Safety' with ISBN 9780788184611 and ISBN 078818461X.
