As Dr. David Acheson mention in the article “Is America’s Food Supply Safe?” that “We have 625 investigators working out of 20 different offices all across the country who are dedicated to inspecting our food supply and working with food companies to make sure they do everything they can to keep food safe.” That means a large group of people working in different places to make sure that all food that are coming from different companies they preparing proper way and it is safe to eating. I am agree with them that they are working hard to supply safe food. For example, a period of time in the year 1991 to 1999 I have worked in a first food company name Dunkin Donuts. I saw that every month the city inspection group come to inspect the store. They check every corner of the store, all machinery materials, using bowls, using other materials, all products like: oil, flour, sugar, etc. and expiration dates. If any time they got anything wrong they give violation a big amount of money. Sometimes they locked some store because of dirtiness and servicing unsafe food. So I believe that the F. D. A. working hard to check that America’s food are not bacterial and viral contamination and prepared proper way.

          In addition, F.D.A. working on boarder to protect the unsafe food what enter from other country because they suspect that other countries food may not prepared proper way. In this article, Dr. David Acheson say, “The F.D.A. has inspectors at our boarders to prevent unsafe food from entering our country.” That means the F.D.A. people working on boarder to stop entering unsafe food. America imports and exports food from other country. They set inspectors other country who can make sure that food are safe. They are always alert about their food safety.  For example, if you go to airport you can see people who are coming from foreign country, they bring food from their country but F.D.A. inspecting their luggage and throwing all food in garbage. Sometime they fine them too for that food. One of my friends got three hundred dollars fine in the year 2011 because she brought some meat and fruits. From this activities we can be sure that America’s food department are concern about food safety.

       In conclusion, Dr. David Acheson, Assistant Commissioner for Food Protection Food and Drug Administration says that America’s supplying food are safe to eat.
