"   The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) just launched a new online form that lets you report food-related illnesses, allergic reactions, injuries, or other problems. By filling out this simple form on your computer, you can help the government determine if there&amp;#039;s a health threat in our food suppy and take fast action to potect the population. When the FSIS receives a report it can determine if other people are reporting a similar issue and identify the cause of the problem. If necessary it can stop production and/or distribution of foods and warn you about contaminated products that may still be on grocery store shelves or in your kitchen. If for example, several family members become sick at roughly the same time after eating a specific food such as ground beef, cold cuts, or bagged produce and you report it at the same time that others are writing in about similar illnessess, the culprit can be determined quickly. o file a report, utilize the online form on the USDA website.
