The obama administration has said it will propose new regulations to strengthen the us food safety system and create a position for a deputy food commissioner on tuesday, according to newswire reports. The proposed measures come as a result of recommendations from the food safety working group, which was set up by president obama in march following a salmonella outbreak in peanut products that sickened 714 people, killed nine, and led to the largest food product recall in us history. The group&rsquos recommendations have been developed in anticipation of pending food safety legislation passing through the house of representatives.
