Bart Stupak: “I am talking about 10-year-old students here. Most of these children…”

On the recordMarch 3, 1998

I am talking about 10-year-old students here. Most of these children were second, third and fourth grade 10-year-old students. If we stop and think about what we are doing in this country, we have food standards in this country that are the envy of the world. We have the safest food. But if we look at what has happened recently, every second of every day someone is stricken with food poisoning. If we take a look at it, that is 33 million Americans a year. In fact they attribute 9,000 deaths to tainted food here in the United States.
