(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) Sen. Charles Schumer wants stronger regulations on the nation's meat supply in light of a recent outbreak of mad cow disease in Canada.
Schumer announced the proposal of a bill that would require the federal Department of Agriculture to register all meat from the time it is slaughtered to the time it gets to grocery stores, thereby preventing mad cow, E. colia, salmonella and listeria.
"When it comes to the safety of meat, our country is not doing close to enough, Schumer said.
Last week a cow slaughtered in Alberta, Canada tested positive for Mad Cow. The case was the first in North America in a decade.
The bill Schumer introduced would give purchasers the ability to track the meat package's history and where it has traveled in case of an outbreak.
"Five thousand Americans die each year because of pathogens carried in mead, and most of those deaths would be preventable if we do what we have to do," Schumer said.
