    3. We can agree… Nation-wide outbreaks indicate contamination did not occur in restaurants Each recall affects operators differently In order for food safety to work, it cannot be a competitive arena—everyone deserves safe food

    4. So what have we learned? No easy quick-fix Each outbreak decreases consumer confidence with negative consequences for the entire industry Food safety system is COMPLEX

    5. So what have we learned? How complex? 50 states and 2,800 localities Regulating 945,000 restaurants 13 million employees Annual sales outnumber US Agriculture, US Airlines, and US Motion Picture industries—combined Industry serves 135 million Americans a day = population of Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio—plus California

    6. What does the system look like?

    13. Differences New enforcement authority (Durbin) Suspend registration Mandatory recall authority Administrative detention Records access New fees/fines (Durbin, Dingell) Current legislation before Congress

    14. Biggest Potential Impact on Restaurants: Traceability? Restaurants and Farms were exempt under the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, they would now be included and required to maintain records (one-up, one-back) available for inspection under a standardized electronic format (Dingell) COOL for Restaurants—where final processing occurred (Dingell)
