Episode Details

Food safety is in crisis as federal budget cuts cripple surveillance systems, leaving deadly pathogens like listeria—fatal in up to 30% of cases—unchecked. Once-mandatory tracking is being dropped, and state agencies, already overburdened, are forced to divert nurses from critical services like immunizations to hunt down outbreaks. With the FDA missing inspection targets and inspections shifting to under-resourced states, experts warn we’re losing our ability to detect and stop the next major foodborne outbreak—potentially far deadlier than recent cyclospora scares.
