FDA Food Recalls on Twitter

If installing your own CDC widget to monitor recent food recalls doesn’t have you on the edge of your seat, either in excitement or cringing in fear, then following FDA recalls via Twitter may be just the thing you are after.  A quick browse of the recent updates shows that the FDA is announcing mostly voluntary, or “precautionary”, recalls.  All updates link to official press releases that explain the recall in more detail.

Really, I’m glad to see that the FDA is using at least some updated technology. This could prove to be the most effective and timely way of reaching the public about recalls.  It may be absurdly good for the public, but absurdly bad for some obsessive/paranoid people.  Will you follow the FDA on Twitter?  Or will you relax in blissful ignorance?
