Bulletproof Blog - C. diff Makes the List of " Looming Food Supply Crises"
I had a chance to chat with Larry Smith, who publishes the Bulletproof Blog. Each week Larry interviews top plaintiffs’ attorneys for their perspective on the crises likely to affect businesses in the near future. Here's how he described our interview:
In this issue, we talk to Bill Marler of the Seattle-based Marler Clark, LLP PS. He is the legal profession’s best-known advocate for plaintiffs in food-related cases and a major force for food safety in the U.S. During his career, Mr. Marler has secured nearly $500 million for his clients. He publishes widely and speaks on food safety around the world.
Here's where C. diff came up:
Larry Smith: Are there specific products that you now have your eye on?
Bill Marler: It’s hard for anyone to predict the next crisis because we’re talking about ever-morphing pathogens. I have nothing but empathy for responsible companies challenged to somehow predict the next bacterium and where it’s going to strike. To cite just a couple of danger zones, pork products face increased risk of Methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) bacteria and, as we effectively control Salmonella, we create opportunites for Clostridium difficile (C-dif) bacteria to proliferate in our guts. It’s a deadly threat to the elderly.
