Join NYU Libraries for an insightful discussion with some of our most esteemed panelists about how the conversation, study, and action around food has evolved over the last two decades. Together, we’ll reflect on 20 years of the Critical Topics in Food event series and examine the role that thoughtful community gatherings like these have played in shaping our collective dialogue about food. The Critical Topics in Food event series is a partnership between NYU Special Collections, NYU Steinhardt Department of Nutrition & Food Studies, and Clark Wolf.

FDA makes recalls transparent
The FDA has just revised its method for listing recalls online. As explained by Food Production Daily, the FDA was required to do this by the food safety bill passed in January.
The new site is nifty. It displays recalls in a neat, searchable, trackable table.
The most fun is in the details. You can click on the links and see the original recall notice and photos of the product labels.
Here, for example, is the most recent entry to give you an idea of how this works. Click on the Details. Enjoy!
