FSPC operates a food processing plant in Mississippi, where various meat products are packaged for shipment to restaurants. After FSPC customers in Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana complained of becoming sick after eating roast beef subs, it was determined that the meat was contaminated with Escherichia coli, a bacteria responsible for causing food poisoning. Additional inspections immediately following the outbreak of E. coli in May 2015 revealed that the restaurants did not provide the required nutritional information for products on their menu.

Which government agency is responsible for protecting the public in the E. coli case? Explain the responsibilities of the agency.
What are the labeling requirements related to menu items in restaurants? Which agency enforces these requirements?
On what basis might the customers who became sick from eating the tainted meat file suit against FSPC? Explain.
What types of administrative penalties might FSPC face?

S5: Intellectual Property

Pepe Roni was a part-time pizza maker at FSPC and a full-time information technology major at the South University in Tampa. As part of his final project in the capstone class, Pepe developed a computer program that created the fastest and most economical routes for delivery drivers. The program also tracked the locations of drivers. Pepe called the program Deliver Fast. The program was designed to be used by any food delivery service. FSPC believes it owns the invention since Pepe was employed by the company when he developed the program. Pepe believes he owns the rights to the invention since it was created for a school project and could be used for any food delivery company.

Provide arguments for FSPC and Pepe regarding ownership of the invention, Deliver Fast. Determine which party should win and provide support for your answer.
