Kellogg chief calls for overhaul of U.S. food safety

This is good, but on the other side of the coin, does Kellogg not do any internal testing with quality control, especially with large vendors. We already know the FDA is having issues and I think perhaps government and private industry working together here would be a good idea. To me it’s just common sense with a vendor of that size to do at least some random checking with the environment we live in today. BD

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of Kellogg Co, whose company lost nearly $70 million in products from a recent peanut recall, will tell lawmakers on Thursday the U.S. food safety system must be overhauled with a focus on prevention.

David Mackay, chief executive of Kellogg, said in prepared remarks for a congressional hearing the country needs an authority within the Department of Health and Human Services devoted solely to food safety.
