Public Health Expert Says E. Coli Outbreaks Prove Need To Enforce Food Regulations

Dr. Robert Field, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Public Health at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia said Americans’ lives depend on enforcing food regulations, reports the VitaBeat blog.

“We have come to take the safety of what we eat for granted. We know that too much fast food can kill us over time, but how many people realized that on rare occasions, it can do so much more quickly,” Field in a press statement. “A tremendous amount of effort that we never see goes on in the trenches by regulators every day. It is not glamorous, but our lives can depend on it.”
