Every movement of that animal to and from fat ms, and feedlots slaughterhouse would be noted. Consumer advocates say this would help identify the origins of not only mad cow disease but also other harmful pathogens, such as listeria, salmonella and the deadly E. coli 0157:H7. Some animals, for a variety to the come of reasons, with a heavy slaughterhouse load of E. coli in their gut and with lots of it on their hide, said Carol Tucker Foreman, formerly a top regulator at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and now director of the Food Policy Institute at the Consume! Federation of America. If you could trace back to the farm those animals that come in that way, you could change practices and you could probably discover why some animals get in that situation. Last month, the USDA called for a national traceback system. But consumer advocates worry that Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman did not say it would be mandatory, or if it would be administered by government or industry. The secretary is looking at exactly how we could do this, said USDA spokeswoman Alisa Harrison. Theres a lot of questions that are still on the table. livestock the Meanwhile, industry has been slow to animal embrace traceback, though it has been debated for years. Gary Weber, executive director of regulatory affairs for the Beef National Cattlemens Association, said, It just takes time, when youve got a million people whose livelihoods are involved, to get in agreement and get movement. radio-frequen- Food safety has been a issue since the first U.S. case of mad cow disease was discovered just before Christmas. To consumers not normally tuned in to debates over the beef industrys production practices, g such terms as downer cattle and advanced meat recovery are new. In fact, these and other safety issues are not bursting onto the scene purely as a result of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE. Consumer advocates, officials and government have industry representatives been fighting many of these y and production battles for years. Most people agree that the United States has one of the safest food supplies in the world. But food safety can be a moving target as bacteria mutate and industry looks for ways to be as as efficient and possible. So, for instance, despite years of criticism, it was only after the BSE incident that the government declared, and industry agreed, cows too that downer cattle would sick or injured to walk be eliminated from the food supply. Here then are nine other y that changes advocates are calling for from the beef industry, along with the positions of industry groups and government regulators. Had there been a mandatory traceback system in place in the United States on Dec. 23, when mad cow disease was discovered in Washington state, it would have taken hours, not days, to figure out when and where the cow in question was born and possibly what it had eaten.

I was impressed with Jon Huntsmans business background and his ability to understand the plight of small businesses and other economic ventures in Utah, said Nate Caplin, a junior economics major from St. George. I think that his understanding will prove to be a real asset during his campaign. Right now, hes my No. 1 candidate for governor. a Adam Hailstone, junior from economics major Taylorsville, said he was impressed with Huntsmans experience in international business and affairs. As a (society), we are moving toward a global economy and (away from) a manufacturing and local economy, Hailstone said.

Nordfelt said he was disappointed in students lack of interest in the lecture. with his I was impressed sad the but thing is presentation, that students dont care to take time to listen to what a candidate has to say, he said. The purpose of the series is to get students involved in the election, Nordfelt said. Basically what we want to do is provide an opportunity for students on campus to be able to meet the candidates that will be running for governor, he said. The fact that (Huntsman) took the time to stop and chat with us says a lot about (his commitment to getting elected). Nordfelt said at least eight more potential gubernatorial candidates contacted about been have speaking at SUU, but no dates or times have been confirmed. Bringing candidates on campus could be a great resource for anyone wanting to get involved with politics, he said.
