Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy Launches Global Food Safety Monitor

In a new e-newsletter, Global Food Safety Monitor, IATP's Steve Suppan will "cover the challenges of setting strong international food safety regulations that protect public health. In the first issue, Steve writes about the U.S.-Korea Beef dispute, attempts to reach a food safety agreement between the U.S. and China, and a U.S. dispute with the European Union over chicken exports."

In this first issues, Steve Suppan says, "We won’t neglect good news. If a new pathogen detection test shows promise, if good food safety legislation is approved or if a company does more than required by law to ensure that traded food is safe, we will endeavor to report it. We hope that the readers of this bulletin will not only respond critically to it, but send some of that good news our way."
