Local Food: Outbreaks linked to local food and/or farmer's markets. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) groups and food co-ops need to demonstrate knowledge and practice of food safety, and be inspected. In addition to produce and meats/fish, prepared items are currently unsupervised in some, but not all locations. I edited No. 2:

My point is that with the movement towards local food, everyone needs to pay attention to food safety. Here is another view - see comments too: http://barfblog.foodsafety.ksu.edu/2009/01/articles/culture-of-food-safety/local-can-be-safe-prove-it/ Feel free to call anytime to discuss.

I really do appreciate the work you do, and it's unfortunate that there have been so many negative comments about it on other blogs. But I do wish you could help to set the record straight about the fact that market prepared food vendors are in fact supervised and inspected. The statement in your original post is false and destructive to vendors like myself who work hard to comply with the regulations.

As I have said repeatedly, I have never had a case against a farmer's market vendor. My point is that I want to keep it that way. Also, the only "mom and pop" operations that have been sued have primarily raw milk sellers who have poisoned kids. I am going to add you as a link to my blog. Cheers. Thanks for the shout-out.
