Publicly posting enforcement and testing data corresponding to specific meat, poultry, and egg products’ processing plants on the Internet could have “substantial benefits,” including the potential to favorably impact public health, says a new report from the National Research Council. The report adds that the release of such data could contribute to increased transparency and yield valuable insights that go beyond the regulatory uses for which the data are collected. From my point of view I agree with the public should know, but great care would have to be taken on the data released. As we have seen from information released in recent outbreaks that information is not always clear or correct.
