    Unintended Consequences


    The responsibility of keeping our food safe is big. The people who are responsible for keeping food safe are the companies who make the food, packaging companies, and even the consumers. Two year old Kevin had found out himself that what you eat is not always safe. Kevin died from E. coli infection 12 days after eating a hamburger with his family while on vacation. Who’s fault was is? I would say the food company. The food company should hold responsibilty for Kevin’s death because they should know what their company is selling and if they are buying the product to sell then they need to be aware of E. coli infection if any. The sales person is not responsible at all if they are not aware of what the boss has bought from other companies to sell, they are just trying to make money. The meat distributor who sold the meat to the resturant is almost fully responsible because they should check for things like E. coli and make sure their meat is clean and healthy.

    The people who deal with the carcass are not really responsible at all because their job isnt to check for E. coli, they are just in charge of cutting away the carcass and thats it. If a meat packaging plant fails contamination test several times then they need to be shut down they obviously arent clean or safe. The government should held partly responsible because they do have the right to shut down the packaging plant and should if the contamination test is failed so many times. The people who feed the cows corn are responsible because if the cows werent fed corn then the E. coli in their bodys would just shed off and our meat would be much healthier.
