Another reason why Bu$hCo's whole notion of governance was completely flawed from the get-go. This whole notion of industry "cooperation" began with Alzheimer Ronnie, but since then, it's been clear that you cannot trust any industry to police itself, much less do the right thing for the people of this nation.
The F.D.A. can seize a product that it suspects is contaminated, and it can ask a federal judge for authority to recall products if a maker refuses to do so. The agency can also announce that it suspects problems with a product before the company agrees to a recall. But it rarely does any of these.
Bill Marler, a food safety lawyer in Seattle, said the agency had neither the authority nor the courage it needed to keep the food supply safe.
Michael R. Taylor, a former top official at the food agency, said change was needed.
“F.D.A. negotiates communications about recalls with companies,” (WTF? ed.) Mr. Taylor said, “and that sometimes leads to delays. Changing that dynamic when people are getting seriously ill and dying is something that ought to happen.”
My emphasis, but anyone with a compassionate brain can see what's happening. Hopefully, none of my loyal four readers where touched by the peanut butter fiasco - a lunchtime staple in coldH2Oville. We've been fine, with no thanks to the FDA.

and here I thought the gal was buying all that peanut butter because it was a good deal... Hmmm
Crisis management is the process by which an organization deals with a major unpredictable event that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public.
