New rules require better food records

The government announced new rules Monday aimed at helping trace the source of food contamination, particularly in the event of a bioterror attack on the food supply.

Food manufacturers and others who work in the nation's human and animal food supply will have to keep records showing where they received food and where they shipped it next.

The idea behind the rules, announced by the Food and Drug Administration, is to help investigators figure out where in a long chain of supply a particular item of food may been tainted. [NewsIsFree: Health]
