<title>A Retrospective Of 2007 Food Contamination Coverage Decisions</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[By Joseph F. Bermudez Jason D. Melichar And Suzanne M. Meintzer 2007 was a catastrophic year for the food industry. The year started badly when the first recall was announced on January 2, 2007. U.S. Food and Drug Administration Recall - Firm Press Release, Ho's Trading Inc. Recalls Home Special Health Soup Recipe (Dry Mix), Jan. 2, 2007. Shortly thereafter, the largest pet food contamination recall in history was announced. U.S. Food and Drug Administration Recall - Firm Press Release, Menu Foods Issues Recall of Specific Can and Small Foil Pouch Wet Pet Foods, Mar. 16, 2007. The year that devastated the U.S. food industry's safety reputation continued with an All-American list of contaminated food products that involved international, national and super-regional recalls including, but not limited to: a spinach recall involving 48 states and Canadian provinces; a peanut butter recall involving 47 states; and a pot pie recall involving 31 states. Apple pie appears to have been the one American standard that was not recalled last year. Of course, any 2007 food contamination highlight film would not be complete without Topps' recall of historic proportions, which involved 21.7 million pounds of hamburger, was the second largest ground beef recall and third largest food recall in U.S. history.
