"How many e. coli outbreaks do these people need to see before they
clean up their operations? The farm owners should be chanrged and
jailed and lose their land. Maybe that'll send a message to the rest of
them to clean up their operations. Or test their produce for e. coli on
site. How hard would that be to do?"
It would be very hard as almost every plant would have to be tested to
ensure no spread of the bacteria, and of course a plant tested is a
plant not used. At best random testing could be done, and even might be
so even now.
Btw, smile, it was red meat that caused the last outbreak, wild hogs
broke into a fenced field and left their droppings which mixed with
water to pollute the plants. The particular bacteria in question is
harbored in the guts of a handful of animals including hogs but not in
many others. It can and is spread by meat production, which should give
you pause the next you chomp into a nice pork chop or chicken.
