Food Safety After Contamination

Design a long-term food safety reform agenda for a society shaken by contamination or adulteration scandals. Focus on how to improve traceability, executive accountability, inspection systems, whistleblower protection, and public communication without creating unnecessary burdens for honest producers. Compare preventive regulation with punishment after the fact, and explain which combination is most likely to restore trust in the food supply. Include lessons for consumers, regulators, and industry.
