The Issues in Food Protection and Safety; Trends in the Food Protection; Food Protection and Safety

Regulations
This Case Assignment requires that you present your position on future issues and trends in food protection
that you believe need the attention of the state legislative in order to initiate a change in the food
protection regulations governing retail food protection and safety in the state of Florida.
Situation: There have been a series of well documented news articles over the last six months that the threat
of an outbreak of a major foodborne illness is very likely due to lack of enforcement of food protection laws.
Several public interest groups have published widely circulated opinions that recent changes in the food
service industry and the effects of globalization have rendered the current system of food protection
meaningless and ineffective. They attacked the food protection infrastructure, adequacy of food protection
regulations, a lack of coordination in the investigation of foodborne illnesses (FBI). The result of widely
circulated opinions concerning the status of the adequacy of food protection within the state is that the
average consumer has lost confidence in the safety of the food supply. As a respected leader in food
protection in Florida, the political leadership would like to hear your non-partisan opinion.
Case Assignment Tasks
You are to research and prepare a presentation to the legislative committee which responds to concerns of the
State of Florida. Specifically, you are to discuss the following:
? Has there been a change in foodborne illnesses in Florida by type and causative agent?
? Do the current trends in the foodservice industry present a potential challenge to the current food
protection regulatory scheme? Will there eventually be a need to significantly change food protection
regulations?
? Is the food protection infrastructure currently adequate and has it been strengthened since 9-11? Is there
adequate coordination in the State of Florida between various State and local agencies and the federal
government?
? Discuss any other issue(s) that you believe will strengthen your position.
Be sure to adequately justify your position taken on any issue.
