Twenty-five years ago, when our board co-chair, Michael Taylor, was administrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), he helped put in place a new food safety regulatory program to prevent foodborne illness from meat and poultry. This program was created in response to the tragically historic 1992-93 illness outbreak caused by ground beef contaminated with a particularly dangerous pathogen called E. coli O157:H7.
