"We need better abilities and authorities to put in place these preventive controls and hold companies accountable," Hamburg said as she discussed the salmonella poisoning outbreak and the recall of roughly a half-billion eggs from two Iowa egg distributors.

This is so much pure bull! The egg companies already are policing themselves. They discovered a problem and are recalling HALF A BILLION eggs. If they were not responsible, they would just have ignored the problem. I can't imagine how much money it costs to do a recall like that, Now the price of eggs is going to skyrocket, and the worthless counterproductive FDA wants a power grab! Typical! I get so disgusted! So when is the revolution going to start?
