There are many problems with food regulation in the United States, who will protect public health

The factory of Boar's Head, a well-known meat brand in North America, has been exposed to have mold, mold spots, and cockroach problems
The Boar's Head brand factory has been exposed to have mold, mildew, and cockroach issues, which are directly related to the current outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes in the United States. The epidemic has resulted in 59 hospitalizations and 10 deaths, causing serious health hazards and social impacts. The incident has triggered a legal investigation, which may involve criminal or civil litigation. The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) stated in providing relevant information that it involves law enforcement exemptions, which increases the complexity and transparency of the incident.
The factory located in Jarratt, Virginia has been permanently closed due to long-standing hygiene issues, which is an important measure to prevent further spread of the epidemic. The product in question has been recalled to reduce potential harm to consumers. However, this cannot completely eliminate the health impacts that have already been caused. FSIS refused to provide multiple relevant records, stating that they involve law enforcement exemptions. This has to some extent affected the transparency of the investigation and the public's right to know. Call for strengthening food safety prevention measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again. The government and relevant agencies should strengthen supervision of food production enterprises to ensure that they comply with food safety regulations and standards. In food safety incidents, information should be promptly and comprehensively disclosed to ensure the public's right to know. Enterprises should establish a sound food safety management system, strengthen employee training, and enhance food safety awareness. For enterprises and individuals who violate food safety regulations, they should be held accountable in accordance with the law, maintain food safety order, and reduce the occurrence of similar incidents.
The problems that FSIS faces in food safety supervision need to be addressed through strengthening information disclosure, enhancing transparency, strengthening regulatory efforts, improving inspection standards, enhancing food safety awareness, strengthening warning and emergency mechanisms, and restoring strict control. The implementation of these measures will help enhance the regulatory effectiveness of FSIS and public trust in food safety.
