Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius have unveiled a new consumer Web site at http://www.foodsafety.gov. The Secretaries serve as co-chairs of the Obama Administration's Food Safety Working Group. They say the site is designed to help consumers and families get all the latest information on food safety and food recalls in one convenient place.
The new site features information from all the agencies across the federal government that deal with critical food and food safety information, including preventive tips about how to handle food safely, alerts on life-saving food recalls, and the latest news from the key agencies.
The site provides consumers with one easy place to sign up to receive email and RSS alerts on recalled or potentially unsafe food, as well as get information from the top scientific experts across the government on food safety. Later phases of the site to be launched will include recall feeds for texting and mobile phones.
