Ask yourself this Matthew Berman - why not feed your children this seafood for the next 10 years, and tell us how that went for you after those years, when the effects really show! After all, remember what the officials at town hall meetings stated on camera(which all can find on youtube) - from the govt official of Gulf Seafood standards spokesman mouth... "why are you all worried about what will happen 20 yrs from now, we'll all be gone anyway, and all you're doing is hurting sales"! Yeah, that's all we care about... not our families and fellow human beings, the earth and nature! WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH! - The Truth Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:39:44 +0100 http://www.theind.com/food/7460-louisiana-environmental-groups-protest-fda-seafood-saftey-standards#comment-13345 The problem, Mr. Berman, is that the public has become quite distrustful of anything the government tells them. I would submit they have good reason for those feelings. - Max Wed, 15 Dec 2010 12:31:50 +0100 http://www.theind.com/food/7460-louisiana-environmental-groups-protest-fda-seafood-saftey-standards#comment-13252 We are working hard to test our seafood and properly ensure its safety. It is time for Louisiana businesses to restore our seafood industry, our restaurants and the image of our state. Gulf seafood still has a perception problem but the reality is Gulf Seafood is safe and plentiful. The FDA operates a mandatory safety program for all seafood products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and Public Health Service Act. This program includes research, inspection, compliance, enforcement, outreach and the development of regulations and industry guidance for seafood. Current scientific data from this sophisticated testing indicate Gulf Seafood is safe to eat. Three departments in the State of Louisiana – the Departments of Environmental Quality, the Department of Health and Hospitals, and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries participate in seafood safety testing programs. The FDA is working closely with NOAA put in place strong safety criteria to protect vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, and subsistence fishing communities.
