Salmonella outbreak grows, FDA still has no clue

As this video link mentions at the end, the growers who are talking about incalculable financial losses due to this outbreak are the same group who have fought any changes in regulation. They have lobbied the Bush administration and Republicans to let self-regulation control this process despite repeated failures. Now they're losing millions and thousands of people across 42 states, DC and Canada are getting sick and consumers are afraid to buy tomatoes, cilantro, peppers and who knows what else.

It's hard to believe that the US still doesn't have traceability for food so instead of limiting the problem, the large food producers are dragging down everyone, making the financial losses much more than they have to be. How's that self regulation thing working out?
