I wanted to take a second and thank everyone who joined me and Freeborn’s Food Industry Team at Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse for a cocktail reception after the Midwest Produce Conference & Expo. Those of you who attended know that Freeborn’s event provides a great way for folks to close out the conference and experience one of Chicago’s “must visit” restaurants. Our event also helps you maximize your networking time in Chicago by providing a great atmosphere to connect with your produce industry peers and colleagues. For those of you who could not make it, we hope to see you in New Orleans for the upcoming PMA show.

On September 19, 2012, Jason Klinowski addressed the 240+ attendees of the 13th Annual Illinois Food Safety Symposium, which was held in Bloomington, IL.
During his presentation, Jason Klinowski addressed the issue of whether a health department could recoup the costs it incurs responding to a foodborne illness outbreak in light of the department’s statutory duty to respond and to protect the public health. The presentation looked at both the legal theories for recovery and the practical considerations (pros & cons) of such litigation.
This event was co-sponsored by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois Public Health Association. A special thanks goes out to Kevin Dreesman of the Illinois Department of Health for organizing this event and for inviting me to address its attendees.
