Headline roundup - Rabobank on U.S. traceback and a new salmonella outbreak?

If you are a regular reader, you know I update my headline links periodically at the bottom of the blog. Here is a roundup of headlines I snatched from the Web today. Plenty of interesting items, including the meeting of chemists to explore phytochemicals in f/v, a Rabobank report piling on about the slow U.S. traceback system, coverage of a new salmonella outbreak in New Mexico, an L.A. Times piece about how foodborne illness outbreaks have convinced retailers to toe the line on food safety because of the risk of consumer lawsuits and more.
