This incident also reveals a danger to our children, since the Hallmark company is the second largest supplier to the U.S. School Lunch program. I believe that American families should not have to worry about the safety of the food on their dinner tables or in their children&#8217;s school lunches. That is why I have long been calling for common-sense &#8211; and long-overdue &#8211; food safety reforms, building on my work in the Senate. As President, I will fully fund our food safety system so that our inspectors have the resources and manpower they need to do their jobs. I will create a single food safety to replace the patchwork of regulation we have now. I will implement an effective recall system so that potentially tainted food immediately comes off of grocery store shelves and families receive instant notification. I will strictly enforce safety rules and impose stiff criminal and civil penalties on violators. And I will crack down on the slaughter of sick or injured cows, a practice which poses health risks to families and children. Now more than ever, America needs a President who will deliver concrete reforms that fill the gaps in our food safety system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hillaryclinton.com\/blog\/main\/2008\/02\/18\/011500\">Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news today of the largest beef recall in our nation&#8217;s history is yet another troubling reminder that we have done too little to protect our food supply.
