Food salvage industry should be prevented from selling unfit and misbranded food to the public.
1979
In 1975, the Government Accounting Office reported that the food salvage industry was selling potentially adulterated food in rusted, dirty, severly dented and swollen cans or in torn packages both to health care facilities and to the public. Product labels are often incomplete or missing. These conditions are virtually the same in 1979. Most of the recommendations in the GAO's earlier report have not been carried out. Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration personnel believe that regulation of the food salvage industry has a relatively low priority because salvaged food does not pose a significant health risk to consumers.
