President Obama has made permanant the ban on downer cows in the food supply, according to this MSNBC article. The article mentions the risk downer cattle pose of contaminating the food supply with BSE. President Obama is also working to update food safety laws through the creation of the Food Safety Working Group and has appointed Margaret Hamburg as the Food and Drug Administration commissioner.
I'm trying to find some more information on the Food Safety Working Group to see what exactly their mission is and how it might be beneficial or detrimental to what I'm working on here. I'll keep you updated as I find out more. Thanks to my mom for pointing out the article.
