In this University of Wisconsin-Madison program, leading experts from Donna Shalalaa, former secretary for the department of health and human services, to Barry Carpenter, president of the National Meat Association, executive director of the National Meat Association, look at U.S. National School Lunch Program as a case study to weigh in on food safety within the food supply chain. Learn about how science, technology and policy impact food safety from the beginning to end of the food supply chain. This program's objectives are to educate the viewer about the organisms that make us sick, how these organisms get into our food supply chain and what we can do to protect ourselves from food borne illnesses.
