Dangerous E. coli bacteria that caused three
foodborne illness outbreaks in late 2019 most likely came from cattle that
grazed near fields of romaine lettuce or leafy greens, according to a recent
U.S. Food and Drug Administration report. FDA’s findings make clear that
growers, ranchers, and local, state, and federal agencies must work together to
prevent contamination of leafy greens by pathogens commonly present in animal
fecal matter. This food safety problem cannot be solved by a single industry or
regulatory authority.
Public health officials linked the three
outbreaks—each caused by a different strain of E. coli O157:H7—to romaine
lettuce or salad mixes, and traced these products to several fields in
California’s Salinas Valley. According to FDA’s report released in May,
investigators found the E. coli strain from the largest of the outbreaks in a
sample of fecal and soil matter taken from a cattle grate within 2 miles of
multiple fields where romaine had been grown. Other harmful strains unrelated to
the 2019 outbreaks turned up in samples taken from an area between fields and
grazing land and from on-farm water drainage basins.
This is not the first time that cattle have been
implicated as a likely source of produce contamination. A feedlot with tens of
thousands of animals adjacent to an irrigation canal used by farms in Yuma,
Arizona, was the possible source of E. coli in a 2018 outbreak also linked to
romaine. FDA’s investigation in the Salinas Valley highlights that much smaller
herds also can pose contamination risks for nearby produce operations.
The FDA report makes clear that allowing cattle
to graze near fields that grow romaine lettuce or other leafy greens creates an
unacceptable risk to the health of consumers, who often eat these foods raw.
The question is how best to reduce this danger.

Isn't it perplexing how humans with truly
compassionate nature continue to deliberately ignore the immense CRUELTY in our
foods and HOW they are being produced, at the very LIFE expense of countless
other beings of many species?
Is this why humans are here on this planet? to enjoy life on many other species'
suffering?
Behind all this apparent fun and beauty, there
lies unspeakable suffering, torture, cruelty...violence...we are now using
advanced communication and transportation means, YET, the FOOD tradition is
hardly changing and evolving...
Thousands years ago, CONSCIOUS cultures were
thriving on PLANT BASED foods, for many many generations
https://agnvegglobal.blogspot.com/2021/04/ancient-veganism.html
we need to band together as a compassionate and
intelligent race, human race that is and put an end to animals exploitation,
killing and consumption, promoting ONLY real foods that grow directly from
EARTH
https://agnvegglobal.blogspot.com/2022/11/difference-between-plant-based-and.html
let's stop promoting CRUELTY FOODS because
#peacebeginsinourplates and create NEW,
COMPASSIONATE TRADITIONS
https://agnvegglobal.blogspot.com/2022/10/traditions-and-beyond.html
Because the golden rule in Creation is #donotkill
and because #karmaisreal for 20 years we
have access through internet to the TRUTH behind our foods more recent
traditions, we can no longer use the I DIDN'T KNOW excuse to cause
unspeakable suffering to our EARTH
brothers and sisters in temporary animal form...animals ARE souls in various
bodies #liveandletlive https://agnvegglobal.blogspot.com/2011/12/animal-consciousness-and-intelligence.html
Let's catch up the technological advancements
with consciousness advancement and evolution
