Federal inspector cites past sanitation failures at Wampler Foods
An 18 year USDA inspector says repeated sanitation violations at Wampler Foods in Franconia Pa allowed listeria to thrive. He claims enforcement was blocked by supervisors and that non direct product contamination triggered little action. The plant recalled 27.4 million pounds of deli poultry after the outbreak.

Origin country labeling may cost farmers billions
The Agriculture Department estimates a two billion dollar impact from a new country of origin labeling system for foods, with mandated two year grace period before full compliance. The Food Marketing Institute warns costs will hit consumers through higher prices as firms record origins for meat fish and other products. Tim Hammonds notes consumer confusion from mixed origin chains while farm groups back labeling to highlight US produced goods under strict safety rules.
