product was gone by the time the recall was announced, and for episodic contaminationevents, this tends to be the case. Recalls are announced when there is actually very littleleft to be recalled. In systemic contamination events, like that of the Peanut Corporationof America (PCA), we have a greater opportunity to do a recall for effectiveness becauseFigure 3.

low-level contamination is on-going. Unfortunately for food defense, foodborne illnessis more likely to be episodic and developing methods for earlier detection is important.That is, as was pointed out2, a function of the variability and effectiveness of the publichealthsystem by state.The Center for Science in the Public Interest went through data from the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 1998 to 2007 and categorized the numbersof foodborne-illness outbreaks reported by state per million in population (Figure 5). Thisstudy revealed wide variation in the effectiveness of state public-health systems. Froman intentional contamination standpoint, these data raise a concern; a terrorist is morelikely to strike in the southern states. Trying to improve our public-health capabilities atthe state level, including addressing the inherent technology bias, is an important part ofour food-defense preparedness.Figure 5. Wide variation in state outbreak performance:Foodborne illness outbreaks per 1,000,000 population 1998–2007.(source: Center for Science in the Public Interest)TraceabilityTraceability is affected by the complexity of our food system. Figure 6 provides a simplifiedcharacterization of the supply chain for a cheeseburger and, at the bottom of thefigure, the major points of distribution from primary production through processing toconsumers. If a terrorist announced that he had contaminated the supply chain at threepoints and nothing else, roughly 48,000 permutations and combinations of threat scenarioswould have to be worked through to determine the contamination profile.
