The wish list of what the attention and publicity surrounding the recall of eggs can carry increasing day by day. First, there is consolidation of the food safety authority and the end of the bifurcation crazy that in this case only (exceptionally confusing) allows the control of fresh eggs to the FDA, but the control of liquid eggs, chickens and Egg grading USDA. Marion Nestle pointed to similar failures of logic, common sense Äîa.ka, Äîfor years, including the original issue of food policy. And I hope that the food will be hearing some of the primary decision makers and investigators in the coming weeks.

William Neuman generally excellent article on the effectiveness of the vaccination of chickens in Great Britain ‘m has been working on my own list, I’ve been holding since the recall of the new bankruptcy. Vaccination of chicken fat was not raised as a possibility early in the new recall. But it could be as effective as security measures that finally came into force in July, Michael Taylor, the FDA announced himself on the food chain (which began too late to influence the outbreak of Salmonella course). In just over 10 years, Neuman says,

The decline of Salmonella infections in Britain has been impressive.

In 1997, there were 14,771 reported cases in England and Wales Type The most common bacteria, a strain known as Salmonella Enteritidis PT4. Vaccine trials began this year and next, egg producers began vaccination in large numbers.

The FDA is considering Mandating vaccination, but failed to agree on the existing data if it is supported, and did not know about versions of the vaccine. It seems they should reconsidérer.Ce is lost in most discussions alarmed is that budget cuts at the federal and state governments in particular have decimated the number of inspectors on the regulations terrain.Les which eventually went up in July would have been extremely useful, as FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in an interview Monday. The rules, as outlined in a July 9 release from the FDA, require farmers to buy large pools tested for salmonella, put rodents and pest control measures in place and regularly tested for salmonella (it does not apply to farmers with fewer than 3,000 chickens, Äîbackyard ADF followers should not be alarmed).

All good. But even more important is the consolidation of the authority so that even people who work with the FDA and USDA about who does what, Äîthey’re confused as it is. And give the FDA authority to impose rather than having to remember to ask the industry well (or not) to issue a recall, Äîpower, incredibly, it is not now. Voluntary compliance is a ridiculously small tool that industry is often laughing. And give the money to meet all FDA rules.

The other big-picture which is lost is the humane treatment of … No, not chickens, but what attracts attention, and I’d be the last to deride the efforts really worthwhile for different groups of animal welfare and the recent truce between Ohio’s agricultural industry and human groups, rights that would ban battery cages after this year. (Like most industry initiatives, he was ahead of a rule, here’s a ballot initiative that could have exposed it to regulation more expensive.) Is the treatment of workers. In a letter to Tom Vilsack, USDA, and Margaret Hamburg, Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro, always good food security, poses a number of questions about the current outbreak, and is particularly concerned by the report of Washington Post listing of previous violations by DeCoster farms enormous, both in Iowa and New England as familiar name in Maine.

There was a lot of misery, the treatment of unclean animals, two hens and sows. But worse was the treatment of workers.

In 1996, DeCoster was fined 3.6 million for violations of health and safety at the family farm egg Turner, who was then Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has called “as dangerous and oppressive as any sweatshop we have seen.” Regulators found that workers were forced to treat manure and dead chickens with their bare hands and live in trailers that salesC’est which is at the top of my list of lessons learned: the regulation requires humane treatment of workers. Let’s merge parts of OSHA authority with a new food safety too as we are. “Food safety begins with people, Äîpeople processed and paid decently.

plusremarquable What? The fact that in his new statistics for July 2010, Bureaucrat National Statistics (NBS) described the revision of preparationsTo calculating the price index (CPI) or the fact that on lela strength of this restatement, the Previous estimates of price intérieursmouvement may have been slightly underestimated (as has long been soupçonnépar most commentators on these data)

cause with former Leques The SNB therefore decided to reassess the July 2010 spending on consommationdonnées 2003 May-September and 1985 indices-based, and why it chose in November 2009, the new basis of index? Are there triggers for these changes, and what I ask you, could onêtre? Or is it something regular, a key element of the Bureau of Statistics decalendrier? In this case, when can we expect from the next revaluation?

importantligne not least of why the SNB does not think in under cetteréévaluation the basis for calculating the internal rate of inflation, may weight of the composition of the basket of goods on which the calculation estbase.

In a sense, a little here onarguties . Because, of course, the adjustment of the NBS is powered by sonsens a change in the composition of goods and services purchased by the “typical consumer of Nigeria”. To measure the trajectory of this change, Just look at the basket from its nombreusesincarnations and the weights attached to each composantes.Pour index in September 1985-based, the food component accounts for 69 seulepour % of the basket. This index also included a category “beverages, tobacco, and Kola, which accounted for slightly less than 5% of lapanier. With the index in May 2003, the “food” only had a weight de63, 76%. Add “soft drinks”, and this weight amounted to 64.41%.

With the new database (November 2009), however The Office has introduced a new category (“Food imported” a weight of 13.25%), under which the former “Food” category has a small share of 50.70%.

The question is deQuels changes these new categories mean? Do they reflect a changementdans the composition of domestic food baskets? Do they reflect laentrée new goods and services in the basket, how uncorrectable index of reflection should have in earlier parts of which pass cedécennie telecommunications came to household balance sheets unmesure unusual? Or do they just show how the Office can êtremaintenant granular, in the light of new skills and / or software?

The balance favors despreuve more granular competencies supercomputers. The basket compositiondu measured remains fundamentally unchanged. But should we alorsremplacer the only measure of price inflation (the man in street lela many numbers at a time, no expenditure weights) with autresmesure (where the size of handbags, and the points on which are statistically significant dépensesva)

Not necessarily! For each measure tells a different story to both the character del economy and its likely direction. This observation leads àà another question: why have we only one measure of inflation remo countries, while in some countries, they manage with a maximum of five?

we, Pharpar example, monetary policy, better design, if we exclude some items mesurequi more changeable in the current basket? What THIBAUT exclude our own version of “consumption expenditure personnelleIndice prices” to offset prices in the short termechangements that could interfere with accurate estimates of future long termeévolution of inflation in the economy? ” / p>

fact is that the recent adjustments of NBS raise some questions more than they address.
