In our fast pace society, we base everything on time and money. This need to save money and time has transformed the way we see food and purchase food. Food is an essential part of all cultures. It plays a role in every person’s life. The population has the power to choose what we eat and how the food industry is shaped.

Meatpacking has become the most dangerous job in America. Unlike poultry plants, in which almost all tasks are performed by machines, most of the work in a slaughterhouse is done by hand. Hazards of the job include injuries from the various machines and knives, strain to the body from poor working conditions, and even methamphetamine use in order to keep up with the production line. Women face the added threat of sexual harassment. This chapter opens with an anecdote about the largest recall of food in the nation’s history. In 1997 approximately 35 million pounds of ground beef was recalled by Hudson Foods because a strain of E Coli was found in the food. However, by the time the beef was recalled, 25 million pounds had already been eaten. Schlosser notes that the nature of food poisoning is changing. Prior to the rise of large meatpacking plants, people would become ill from bad food in small, localized arenas. Now, because meat is distributed all over the nation, an outbreak of food poisoning in one town may indicate nation-wide epidemic. Every day in the United States, 200, 000 people are sickened by a food borne
“There are … responsibilities more important than making sure the food our families eat is safe” (Joe Biden). The vice president of the United States does not consider food safety important. The government food agencies such as The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), do not do enough to ensure our safety from food. Our standards of ensuring food safety have dramatically dropped due to government food agencies not doing enough to protect us and making new rules and regulations to hard for food producers.
Almost every angle of the food industry can be considered dangerous. It is dangerous to make the food, as a meatpacking job is one that is viewed as having abnormally high risks; however when the food is handed over a counter on a tray or prepared in a family of four’s kitchen, it poses a huge risk to humankind. Foodborne illnesses are all too common and almost everybody has the possiblity of contracting a foodborne illness. These are life threatening diseases that need to be monitored and regulated; therefore the enforcement of government regulations in the fast food industry could potentially save many lives that are lost annually due to the numerous factors that need regulation.
The Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteiten (NVWA) translated as the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority is a Dutch public organization. This organization aims to safeguard “the health of animals and plants, animal wellbeing, the security of food and consumer products and, enforce the [Dutch] nature law.” Consequently, every inhabitant of the Netherlands is directly dependent on them. Furthermore, many individuals worldwide are also, either consciously or unconsciously, reliant on the NVWA due to the large amounts of goods the Netherlands exports. Before 2009, the tasks of the NVWA were fulfilled by three separate organizations: the General Inspection Body (Algemene Inspectiedienst, AID), the Plant Protection Service (Plantenziektenkundigedienst, PD), and the Inspection and Qualification Service for Goods (Keuringdienst van Waren, KVW). However, since 2012 these companies have officially fused and are now one entity called the NVWA. During the period of the fusion there was also reorganization. Within this essay I will analyze the NVWA‘s vision, mission and strategy, type: public or private, organizational structure, leadership, organizational culture, and environment.
