These pillars of food safety were in place and helping protect the nation's health during the recent -- and in retrospect, balmy -- years when terrorism was something we certainly tried to prepare for, but our main worry was accidental contaminations.
That requires information: information about our food assets; understanding of their viability as carriers of possible contaminants; and -- to such extent as it is feasible -- intelligence about the capability and intent of potential aggressors who could target the food supply.
Since the possibility exists that the terrorists would use contaminants not traditionally found in food, we are also bringing on board 30 additional specialists whose job will be performing risk assessments and developing rapid analytical methods for a variety of pathogens and types of products.
