For some hard-to-navigate websites, it takes an act of Congress to create a search engine that actually works.
Earlier this week, the Food and Drug Administration debuted a new and improved website that enables users to find information about products that could poison them. Users can easily spot the potentially listeria-contaminated sprouts, dangerous "male enhancement" supplements or seafood salad a la salmonella and then click on the label to see whether the products currently reside in their refrigerators or medicine cabinet.
The improved online access was mandated by the Food Safety Modernization Act, which was signed by President Obama in January. Check out the new site here.
