![]() Excerpts from http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2006/1016/048a.html The outcome of this spinach misfortune may be an expensive reform of the bagged-salad business, which generates annual sales of $2.5 billion. Bagged produce is often precut, releasing water and nutrients that feed bacteria. The bags trap moisture, creating a humid heaven for bacteria if refrigeration fails. The cut greens are hard to wash, and you can't remove outer leaves as you can with a head of romaine. The offender in this case is the toxic O157:H7 strain of Escherichia coli. Several preventive measures are possible. One is to mandate that salad packers douse the leaves with chlorine solution, but Natural Selection does that. Another approach is to try to displace O157:H7 in farm animals, whose manure can be spread to nearby farmland. Many cows are already fed bacteria much like those in yogurt that reduce the amount of O157:H7 in manure. -- The most important tool of the scientist is the wastebasket. ....Albert Einstein |
