FDA Spotlight Topics and Staying Connected

After being inspired by some alerts hanging on the bulletin board, I thought an appropriate addition to this container would be to bring together some of the sources that do broadcast their own alerts for a variety of public health and safety purposes.

I have included their “Recall” feed in the side bar to hopefully help contribute to the efforts of getting the word out when a product is being recalled.  I can’t add all of the FDA’s RSS feeds into this container, however you can visit their website at http://www.fda.gov/oc/rss/ and select from a list of RSS feeds for your favorite reader or just bookmark their main page at http://www.fda.gov.

In the meantime, here are the headlines from the FDA today:

2009 H1N1 Flu Virus (Swine Flu)

Peanut Product Recalls Salmonella Typhimurium

Pistachio Product Recalls

Raw Alfalfa Sprouts Linked to Salmonella Contamination

Viewpoint: FDA Action and 2009 H1N1 Flu
