Protection from E.coli?

A FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM

In 1982, it appeared on the hamburger patties of fast food. Since then, it has repeatedly contaminated the leaves of leafy greens. This leads us to ask, “Can farmers protect us from E.coli 0157:H7?”

This Saturday at 9 AM Pacific, the Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts Tim Chelling from the Western Growers Association, Nick Nutter, a Farm Bureau consultant and former Ag Commissioner, and Joe Pezzini, VP of Ocean Mist Farms for a conversation about protecting consumers from E.coli 0157 H:7.
