"Carl's Jr. believes no child should go hungry."

Kidding aside, this is too simple of a problem to solve. Serious contamination isn't a part of 1st world daily life, because we have excellent news and regulations (so far). Rotten food is easy to detect, and even some of the stuff we consider rotten would probably not make us sick.

It's all a shiny coat of wax on a non-problem, just like bottled water and gingivitis.

Food contamination is a low-probability problem, sure, but it is hardly a minor one. It kills people.
