California OKs Plan Against E. Coli Outbreaks

by @ 12:58 pm.  Filed under Health News

This article occurred over a month ago but I hadn’t gotten around to commenting on it yet.

State OKs Plan Against E. Coli Outbreaks - Forbes.com:

Seems California as instituting a voluntary program for produce shippers and handlers where they agree to only work with other companies who are taking preventative steps to stop e. coli and other contamination. Among the proposals are fencing fields to prevent ingress of wildlife and routine testing of irrigation water for bacteria.

I think these are good ideas but it will be interesting to see how successful it is.
