I'm not sure how many Web sites are out there that would be interested in posting a widget about the peanut butter salmonella recall, but you have to give the Food and Drug Administration credit for trying new ways to get information out.

FDA Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak 2009. Flash Player 9 is required.

Today, however, President Obama put the FDA in his crosshairs. "I think that the FDA has not been able to catch some of these things as quickly as I expect them to catch," Obama said in an interview. "And so we're gonna be doing a complete review of FDA operations."
