Thanks, Michael.
You raise an excellent point, Dr. Duncan. The science of food-borne illness investigations and epidemiology into food-borne illness outbreaks is a very difficult one. It's one that our scientific community, our government communities, and the industry are getting much better at, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. We need to come up with better and more innovative ways of assigning cause and identifying the food that may be associated with a given cluster of illnesses. Molecular techniques and DNA fingerprinting techniques have greatly enhanced our ability to track food-borne illnesses and to identify their causes, but we've got a lot to learn. We still need to enhance and improve our ability to do that and reduce the timelines.
As a participant in the food industry that has a vested interest in selling safe food, certainly we would welcome any ideas and any additional resources that could improve that.
