<span style="color: #073763;"><span class="pb-caption">A Chipotle Mexican Grill employee prepares food in 2015 in Seattle. (Stephen Brashear/AP)</span> </span></div>
<span style="color: #073763;">
A Chipotle franchise in Sterling, Va., temporarily closed Tuesday morning after receiving multiple reports from customers who said they got sick after eating at the restaurant, sending the chain's stock plummeting 6 percent.<br />
<br />
The reports — which were collected on </span><a href="https://iwaspoisoned.com/location/united-states/virginia/sterling"><span style="color: #073763;">the crowdsourced early-warning site “I Was Poisoned”</span></a><span style="color: #073763;"> — describe severe vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pains contracted in the hours after eating at the Chipotle Mexican Grill at 21031 Tripleseven Rd.<br />
<br />
The incident raises specters of the string of foodborne illness outbreaks that devastated the Denver-based chain in 2015. The restaurant experienced repeated outbreaks of E. coli, salmonella and norovirus in a six-month period, forcing it to take the extraordinary step of temporarily closing more than 2,000 locations in February 2016 to conduct employee food-safety training.</span></article><br /></div>

the burrito spot on Tuesday.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Eight
customers who ate at the location between July 14 and 15 filed
reports on the food safety crowdsourcing
website iwaspoisoned.com, indicating they suffered symptoms
like diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">According to
the reports, at least two customers have been
hospitalized. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“Norovirus
does not come from our food supply, and it is safe to eat at Chipotle,”
Jim Marsden, Chipotle’s executive director of food safety, said in
an emailed statement. “We plan to reopen the restaurant today.”</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“We take every
report of illness seriously,” Marsden added. “In accordance with our
established protocols, our team is working to ensure the safety of
our customers and employees, including voluntarily closing the

localized (like most noro is), but seems a bit early for certainty

there's likely a lot of person-to-person transmission out there but a

<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Here are some
of the reports from iwaspoisoned.com related to the Sterling
restaurant. All the reports were made from Sunday to Monday:</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• Friday 7/14:
Daughter and friends went to Chipotle Saturday 7/15: stomach pains and

diarrhea, severe pain, overnight into Sunday. Friends ill as well with
one friend also in ER. Sunday 7/16: Hospital visit for
dehydration, nausea, pain Monday 7/17: severe pain, trauma pain This is
the worst that I have ever seen. Severe food borne illnesses can
cause long-term damage to the gastro-intestinal track. This was BAD!</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• I ate a
chicken bowl at 6ish and the rest at 11 pm Friday and then woke up
Sunday morning with diarrhea and was nauseous</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• Wife and I
ate chicken bowls Friday night. Puking brains out Saturday night and
Sunday.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• Ate salad
bowl on Friday at 1230pm, became ill at 3pm on Saturday. Three up
multiple times, had fever, dizziness, etc. Salad bowl with
chicken, Pico, beans, medium salsa, corn</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• My husband
and I both had chicken around 7:00 on Friday, July 14th. Over 24 hours
later, we both started vomiting. We are still experiencing
symptoms as of Monday morning.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Chicken bowl -
around 6 pm on 7.15.2017</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• My husband
and I shared a burrito bowl last night for dinner around 6:30 PM. It
had rice, chicken, corn, pico, sour cream, cheese, medium salsa.
At around midnight my husband woke up vomiting violently. Less than an
hour later I began vomiting as well. We have since continued
vomiting in addition to having diarrhea, stomach pains, dizziness upon
standing, and low grade fevers. Chipotle was the only thing we
both ate yesterday.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">• My Son and I
both had burrito bowls and became violently ill within hours of each
other. He was visiting from college. Chipotle was the only food
item we both ate that day. Violent stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting.
Violently ill. Same exact symptoms Burrito bowl. Steak, rice,
green peppers and onions, guacamole, cheese. Violently ill.</span></em><br />

I said I wrote a book 20 years ago – Mad Cows and Mother’s Milk – that
concluded no risk messages were really risky.<br />
<br />
Yet here’s Chipotle, with their chief-science thingy, saying “Norovirus
does not come from our food supply.”<br />
<br />
<a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=8f863d308c&e=c072fe8264"><b><span style="color: #084356; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">As
Chapman noted yesterday</span></b></a>, there is on average one
outbreak of food-related norovirus every day for all 365 days of the
year in the U.S.<br />
<br />
And rather than provide supporting statements for their claim, Chipotle
took to Twitter to proclaim such insights as,<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";"> “Why be full of
potential when you could be full of burritos?” and “Summertime sadness
is when you forget your guac.”</span></em><br />

Al Gore had only just invented the Internet for everyone else when Mad
Cows and Mother’s Milk was written.<br />

Today, consumers demand data-based assurances, not platitudes.<br />

the area is experiencing an explosion in stomach bug illnesses, with
more than 4,000 cases so far this year and many of them caused by food.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";"> New
figures show 4076 cases of gastrointestinal disease have been reported
this year — 31 per cent more than at the same time in the previous two
years. The bacterial or viral infections are mostly caused by
contaminated food and water or poor hygiene. Much of the surge has been
fuelled by a rise in salmonella, with many of the 1566 cases this year
associated with eating uncooked eggs.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">There has been
a big increase in other gastroenteric illnesses, with 358 cases of the
viral infection rotavirus, which can make young children seriously ill.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Cryptosporidiosis,
which is caused by a parasite, has been reported in 335 people — more
than double the number at the same time last year. A WA Health
Department spokeswoman said though notifications of salmonella gastroenteritis
were declining as expected over winter, the increased levels were a
concern.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“The
department is concerned about food-borne illness rates in WA, including
salmonella risks associated with eggs, and is implementing short and
long-term reduction strategies,” she said. The department and local
government authorities were focusing on safety surveillance across the
food industry, from paddock to plate.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“Eggs are a
good source of nutrition, but like many other foods they can be
contaminated with bacteria, including salmonella,” the spokeswoman
said.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“It is
important people handle and prepare eggs safely to reduce the food
poisoning risk.”</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Davison of the Daily Mail Australia</span></b></a> that she later
discovered she had contracted Listeria - from either a pre-cut fruit
salad, cream cheese or an ice-cream she had eaten - and had passed the
foodborne illness on to her baby boy, who she and her partner Levi had
named Zephaniah.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Doctors told
her the infection had left her son 'severely disabled' and she and Levi
faced the agonising decision whether to let him go.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'I had tested
positive for Listeria. It had infected my uterus and also reached
Zephaniah's brain,' Ms Rush wrote in a heartrending Facebook post.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'He [the
doctor] told us that Zephaniah could not live without the machines that
aid him and if he were to survive he would be severely disabled for the
rest of his life. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'He would show
no emotion or understanding he would be basically be in a comatose
state. And worst of all, it was our choice whether or not to let him
go. Levi and I were broken. Nothing could ever describe the pain we
felt in that moment.'</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Ms Rush said
it was the hardest decision they had ever had to make. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'It took a
long time to decide. As Zephaniah stayed on life support, we were by
his side and it made everything that much harder,' she wrote.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'But we both
knew what we had to do and eventually Levi and I came to a decision and
it was the hardest one we have ever had to make. We chose to let
Zephaniah go and relieve him of his pain and suffering.'</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Ms Rush had
tested positive for listeria - leading their baby to be severely
disabled - and the young couple made the devastating decision to let
him go.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'The midwives
and doctors arranged everything. We had our loved ones come in to
say good bye to our boy, Zephaniah was blessed by the Elders of Levi's
church, and it was one very long emotional day preparing to send our
boy off,' Ms Rush wrote.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'When the time
came, Levi and I were taken to a private room with Zephaniah,
accompanied by 2 lovely midwives. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'They took out
his breathing tubes and we held Zephaniah for approximately an hour
until his final breath. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'When he
turned cold in my arms it felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my
chest. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">'We held him
for a little while longer before the midwives took him away. We
returned to our room and sat in silence. I will never forget the pure
pain of that moment.'</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Department of Agriculture</span></b></a> (USDA) announced an atypical
case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), a neurologic disease of
cattle, in an eleven-year old cow in Alabama. This animal never
entered slaughter channels and at no time presented a risk to the food
supply, or to human health in the United States.</span></em><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">USDA Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) National Veterinary
Services Laboratories (NVSL) have determined that this cow was positive
for atypical (L-type) BSE. The animal was showing clinical signs
and was found through routine surveillance at an Alabama livestock
market. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">BSE is the
form that occurred primarily in the United Kingdom, beginning in the
late 1980’s, and it has been linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease (vCJD) in people. The primary source of infection for
classical BSE is feed contaminated with the infectious prion agent,
such as meat-and-bone meal containing protein derived from rendered
infected cattle. Regulations from the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) have prohibited the inclusion of mammalian protein in feed for
cattle and other ruminants since 1997 and have also prohibited
high-risk tissue materials in all animal feed since 2009.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Atypical BSE
is different, and it generally occurs in older cattle, usually 8 years
of age or greater. It seems to arise rarely and spontaneously in all
cattle populations.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">This is the
nation’s 5th detection of BSE. Of the four previous U.S.
cases, the first was a case of classical BSE that was imported from
Canada; the rest have been atypical (H- or L-type) BSE.</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

foodborne salmonellosis involving more than 50 cases of infection in North
Dublin is being investigated by public health specialists, IMT reports.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The HSE was
initially notified on May 18 of an outbreak of salmonellosis associated
with consumption of food at a family party in Dublin some five days
earlier. Foods had been provided by a food business in North Dublin.
Over the weekend of May 13 and 14 the business had supplied food to
multiple off-site parties in addition to on-site dining. The
investigation identified illness among attendees at additional off-site
parties.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">An Outbreak
Control Team was convened and chaired by the Department of Public
Health (East) with representation from Environmental Health Service
((EHS) Dublin Specialist (Communicable Disease Unit) and Dublin,
Fingal), the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), Health Protection
Surveillance Centre (HPSC), Public Health Laboratory, and the National
Salmonella Shigella and Listeria Reference Laboratory.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">A closure
order was served on the food business on May 19 by the HSE EHS under
Section 53 of the FSAI Act 1998. Alerts were issued to GPs and hospital
emergency departments by the Department of Public Health (East).</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“To date more
than 50 cases of illness have been identified and 24 persons have
tested positive for salmonella. Six people have been admitted to
hospital.</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Istomina of the KyivPost</span></b></a> writes<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";"> an outbreak of cases of
Salmonella infections in Kyiv has revealed a rash of sanitary
violations in the city’s restaurants.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Police have
started criminal proceedings against Eurasia, a popular chain of sushi
restaurants in Kyiv, after 39 people came down with Salmonella
poisoning after eating in two of its restaurants. An investigation
found that one of the cooks had spread the bacteria.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Further
inspections by Ukraine’s food safety authorities uncovered numerous
sanitary violations in at least 79 other restaurants in Kyiv.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">However,
legislation that was in effect until June 30 prevented the authorities
from immediately issuing fines or shutting down the offenders – the law
had stipulated that such measures could be taken only after a scheduled
inspection, and not an unscheduled one.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The only
restaurants to be temporarily closed as of July 5 were the two Eurasia
sushi bars where customers were infected by the bacteria – on 2A
Dmytrivska St. and 20 Stepan Bandera St.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The first
cases of salmonellosis infection were reported on June 27, when 34
people sought treatment for the symptoms of Salmonella poisoning –
diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. All had eaten in the
two Eurasia restaurants, and five more people reported infection within
the following week.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Most of the
infected customers were hospitalized. The State Service of Ukraine on
Food Safety and Consumer Protection launched an inspection of the
entire Eurasia chain.</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

governing food handling procedures, when 70% of the foodservices
presented improper sanitary conditions. The main irregularities found
were related to work procedures and processes, sanitary conditions, and
physical structure. These result reinforces the importance that

a former employee of a West Michigan county health department once in
charge of overseeing restaurant inspections is now coming under
criticism after the I-Team learned the employee was forced to resign.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">This comes as
the Newschannel 3 I-Team uncovers how some say the restaurant inspector
neglected to keep up with inspections, potentially putting the safety
of many in and around West Michigan at risk.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The I-Team
started asking questions about the health inspections after portions of
a Van Buren/Cass District Health Department document were anonymously
sent to Newschannel 3.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">"Inspect
the 40 restaurants which have not been inspected since 2015,"
reads the document.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">That rate of
inspections falls far below state regulations, according to staffers at
several West Michigan county health departments.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The I-Team
then pored over Van Buren/Cass Health Department meeting minutes, and
found a brief mention during a meeting in March of a resignation from a
worker named Cary Hindley, now the former food service supervisor.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Over at the
Van Buren/Cass Health Department, we asked Director Jeff Elliott about
the inspections or lack thereof, and Elliott explained Hindley's
departure.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">"He said,
you know what Jeff, all the regulations we have to follow and
everything, he said, I'm kind of tired after 28 years, here's my
resignation," Elliott said.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">But Elliott
disagreed with the internal document saying 40 restaurants were last
inspected in 2015.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">"I don't
think that's gospel," he said.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Elliott says
the files may need to be located.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Other
staffers, speaking on the condition of anonymity, say finding the
documents, if they exist, may prove impossible.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">At Wednesday's
Board of Health meeting, more concerns about the restaurant inspection
discrepancies were voiced from board members, as well as other county
health officials.</span></em><br />

of The Globe and Mail</span></b></a> reports that<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";"> for decades, cattle
farmers have sent their livestock to graze on the sprawling Shamrock
pasture, about 80 kilometres south of Chaplin in southwest
Saskatchewan. Shamrock is where Russ Coward, a fourth-generation cattle
farmer, has for years raised nearly a quarter of his cattle. It’s the
same place Mr. Coward’s father sent his cattle.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">But some time
between last Monday and Friday, the cows and calves at Shamrock began
to die. It’s not known whether the deaths happened all at once or
slowly over the course of the four days. But by the time the manager
arrived on Friday afternoon, 200 of the approximately 680 cattle in a
single field were dead.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The president
of Shamrock Grazing Ltd., Glenn Straub, called Mr. Coward, who raced
out to the field. He was met with a gruesome scene. “We seen a
tragedy,” he said. “We simply seen a terrible sight.”</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Other ranchers
soon joined him, about 31 in total who have cows and calves there. “We
all had the same feelings – how did this happen? How did this happen?”</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Since Friday,
provincial authorities as well as the local RCMP have been trying to
piece together the mystery. The cause is still being determined, but
the prevailing theory is dehydration and salt toxicity.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The area has
been subject to drought in recent weeks, said Saskatchewan’s chief
veterinary officer, Betty Althouse. Officials believe this may have led
to evaporation at the water source, resulting in higher concentrations
of salt in the water.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">“An analogy
would be someone shipwrecked in the ocean,” Dr. Althouse told reporters
this week. “They’re thirsty, they’re craving water, so they’re going to
drink the water. But ultimately the salt water will kill them.”</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Many of the
dead cows and calves were found clustered around one “dugout” in particular
– the pools of collected rain and runoff where they drink.
Investigators at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in
Saskatoon who were called in to assist have collected samples from the
dugouts. Results are expected some time this week.</span></em></span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #001001;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Food Quality & Safety</b> - http://www.foodqualityandsafety.com/article/mixed-reaction-fda-delays-nutrition-menu-labeling/</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></span></div>
<div class="entry-meta">
<span style="color: #0b0599;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
</header><div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">
<span style="color: #073763;">The FDA decision to delay the deadlines for changes related to <a href="http://www.foodqualityandsafety.com/article/fda-delays-rolling-new-nutrition-facts-label/">nutrition labeling</a> and <a href="http://www.foodqualityandsafety.com/article/restaurant-retail-calorie-disclosure-rule-flux-trump/">menu labeling</a> has prompted both praise and lawsuits.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b0599;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">FDA’s announcement said the delay for implementation of the Nutrition Facts labeling rule will provide additional time for implementation and will be “guided by the desire to give industry more time and decrease costs, balanced with the importance of minimizing the transition period during which consumers will see both the old and new versions of the label in the marketplace.” The FDA has not yet specified a new implementation timeline.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b0599;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) supports the delay for compliance with changes to the Nutrition Facts panel on food and beverages. Cary Frye, vice president of regulatory and scientific affairs, says dairy food companies are committed to giving consumers information needed to make informed choices. According to the IDFA, the delay will align the compliance dates for the Nutrition Facts label changes with the USDA’s disclosure standard for bioengineered foods, which is will be issued by July 2018.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b0599;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">“Our member companies are hopeful that once FDA announces the new implementation timeline they will be able to avoid the confusion and extra cost incurred by changing their product labels twice—first to comply with the changes to the Nutrition Facts label and again when the [USDA] specifies how genetically engineered foods and ingredients need to be labeled,”Frye says.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The Grocery Manufacturers Association also supports the delay. Pamela G. Bailey, president and CEO, says the “fast-approaching compliance deadline was virtually impossible to meet without the needed final guidance documents from FDA. FDA’s extension is both reasonable and practical.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Compliance with the rule requiring chain restaurants and similar retail food establishments to include calorie and other health information on menu items has been delayed until May 7, 2018. According to a statement released by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, MD, the delay will allow more time for the FDA to find ways to make the rule “more flexible and less burdensome while providing useful information to consumers.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b0599;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and the National Consumers League filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on June 7 challenging the decision. Margo Wootan, the director of nutrition policy at CSPI, says the delay of menu labeling “ill serves consumers, who need and want better information about their food choices.” The delay also “ill serves the restaurant industry, which supports menu labeling and has already invested in new menus and menu boards,” she says.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b0599;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Sally Greenberg, executive director of the National Consumers League, says there is “absolutely no justification for further delaying this menu labeling rule.”</span><br />

analysis of S. Muenchen-contaminated raw pork sausages narrowed the
possible source down to 54 pig farms, and S. Muenchen was detected in
three of them, which traded animals with each other. One of these farms
had already been the suspected source of the 2013 outbreak. S. Muenchen

lot of trichina in the U.S. food supply anymore. It used to be a much
more important pathogen. In the 1940s, when the US Public Health
Service started tracking the illness, there was around 400 cases a
year. <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=b9d096b1b3&e=c072fe8264"><b><span style="color: #084356; text-decoration: none;">Now

<br />
A couple of the more notable incidents were reported in <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=c5ca4086b8&e=c072fe8264"><b><span style="color: #084356; text-decoration: none;">MMWR
last week</span></b></a> - two outbreaks in Alaska linked to raw
walrus.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">During July
2016–May 2017, the Alaska Division of Public Health (ADPH) investigated
two outbreaks of trichinellosis in the Norton Sound region associated
with consumption of raw or undercooked walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) meat;
five cases were identified in each of the two outbreaks. These were the
first multiple-case outbreaks of walrus-associated trichinellosis in Alaska
since 1992.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">The walrus
consumed during the implicated meal in the second outbreak had been
harvested and butchered by patients F and I during the previous 1–3
months, and the meat had been stored frozen in unlabeled bags in their
respective household chest freezers. The meat was prepared by patient
H, who reported that she boiled it for approximately 1 hour, after
which the exterior was fully cooked, but the interior remained
undercooked or raw, which was the desired result; interviewed persons
reported that many community members prefer the taste and texture of
undercooked or raw walrus meat to that of fully cooked meat.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">These
outbreaks also highlight the importance of culturally sensitive public
health messaging. In areas where wild game species are harvested for
subsistence, traditional methods of collecting, handling, preparing,
storing, and consuming meat often have great cultural significance;
however, some of these methods can be inconsistent with public health
best practices. Rather than promoting or proscribing specific methods,
public health messages that focus on communicating risks and explaining
the manner and magnitude of risk reduction that can be achieved using
different approaches (e.g., alternative methods of preparing meat for
consumption) enable members of the target population to make informed
decisions that integrate their traditional practices with their
awareness and tolerance of risks.</span></em></span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

make unsubstantiated claims about organic and conventional food or
pay a fine of one million Swedish Krona (about $120,000 USD). The

<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">The “Organic

does use pesticides, albeit different than the ones used in
conventional agriculture. Even though the pesticides used in organic
farming tend to be naturally derived, whether a substance is synthetic
or natural in origin, in and of itself, has no bearing on its toxicity
or environmental impact.</span></em><br />

<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">The outbreak
now totals 228 cases and required the hospitalization of 161 of those
sickened, according to the county Health and Human Services Agency. So
far, the disease has mostly affected the homeless population and/or
users of illegal drugs, with seven out of every 10 cases affecting
those populations. One of every five people sickened with hepatitis A also
has hepatitis C.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">But according
to a couple of <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=2fcba769c3&e=c072fe8264"><b><span style="color: #084356; text-decoration: none;">barfblog.com</span></b></a>
types, the outbreak has led to the cancellation of food events in
September.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">Public health
investigators have not identified any common food, drink or drug source
as a contributing cause to this outbreak, officials said. Hepatitis A
is most commonly spread via contaminated food or water, sexual contact
or sharing drug paraphernalia.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">“It is
imperative that anyone at risk for hepatitis A get vaccinated,” said
Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public health officer. “We cannot stress
this enough — get vaccinated and make sure you wash your hands after
going to the bathroom.”</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">“Lives are at
risk,” Wooten said. “Protect yourself, your family and the community.”</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">County health
officials have been working with homeless services providers, community
health clinics, faith-based organizations, substance abuse treatment
providers, hospital emergency departments, jails and probation
facilities to conduct vaccination clinics for people who are at risk of
catching the illness. It can take up to nearly two months after exposure
to develop symptoms, but the disease can be prevented if people get
immunized within two weeks of exposure, the HHSA said.</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">My experience
as a dishwasher was short lived. When I was in grad school studying
restaurant food safety I volunteered at a local restaurant. I wanted to
know what it was like, even just a little bit, to be a food handler -
figuring I'd be better at food safety if I understood the pressures of
the job. I spent most of my time in the dish pit, listening to Tom
Petty working with fun folks, who were into lots of different
substances.<br />
<br />
One day, one of my last, I was doing salad prep, and trying to wash my
hands between handling lettuce (with bare hands) and dirty dishes. The
chef yelled at me because we didn't have time to waste - and I skipped
the whole handwash process.<br />
<br />
That's my self-reported story. Researchers in the UK (Jones and
colleagues) published a <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=3e55df1c23&e=c072fe8264"><b><span style="color: #084356; text-decoration: none;">paper a
couple of weeks ago</span></b></a> about the self reported behaviors of
chefs, managers and catering students. They didn't fare much better
than I had. And surveys have their limitations.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif";">Foodborne
disease poses a serious threat to public health. In the UK, half a
million cases are linked to known pathogens and more than half of all
outbreaks are associated with catering establishments. The UK Food
Standards Agency (FSA) has initiated the UK Food Hygiene Rating Scheme
in which commercial food establishments are inspected and scored with
the results made public. In this study we investigate the prevalence of
food risk increasing behaviours among chefs, catering students and the
public. Given the incentive for respondents to misreport when asked
about illegal or illicit behaviours we employed a Randomised Response
Technique designed to elicit more accurate prevalence rates of such
behaviours. We found 14% of the public not always hand-washing
immediately after handling raw meat, poultry or fish; 32% of chefs and
catering students had worked within 48 hours of suffering from
diarrhoea or vomiting. 22% of the public admitted having served meat
“on the turn” and 33% of chefs and catering students admitted working
in kitchens where such meat was served; 12% of the public and 16% of
chefs and catering students admitted having served chicken at a
barbeque when not totally sure it was fully cooked. Chefs in
fine-dining establishment were less likely to wash their hands after
handling meat and fish and those who worked in award winning
restaurants were more likely to have returned to work within 48 hours
of suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting. We found no correlation
between the price of a meal in an establishment, nor its Food Hygiene
Rating Score, and the likelihood of any of the food malpractices
occurring.</span></em> </span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "lucida sans" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures</span></h1>
<span style="color: #073763;">Use this chart and a food thermometer to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood, and other cooked foods reach a safe minimum internal temperature.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red meats – including pork – can be pink, even when the meat has reached a safe internal temperature. </span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #073763;">Why the Rest Time is Important</span></h2>
<span style="color: #073763;">After you remove meat from a grill, oven, or other heat source, allow it to rest for the specified amount of time. During the rest time, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful germs.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">If you love smoked meats, you will be happy to know it’s easy to create a smoked – and safe – flavor on your smoker grill. All you need is low temperature heat, water, flavored wood chips, several hours of smoke and, of course, food safety, for a great tasting meal.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Keep these food safety tips in mind before, during and after your next smoking soirée:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Thaw</strong> meat entirely before smoking. There are three ways to thaw: </span><ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>In the refrigerator:</strong> This is the safest way to thaw meat and poultry. Take the food out of the freezer and thaw in the fridge on a plate or in a pan to catch any juices that may leak.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>In cold water:</strong> For faster thawing, put the frozen package in a watertight plastic bag and submerge it in cold water; change the water every 30 minutes. Once thawed, cook it immediately.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>In the microwave: </strong>Follow instructions on the microwave oven or in the manual. Cook immediately after thawing in the microwave.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Marinate </strong>in controlled temperatures. Meats can be marinated in the refrigerator at 40° F (4.4°C) or below. Don’t cross-contaminate marinades. Sauce used to marinate raw meat, poultry or seafood should never be used on cooked foods unless it is boiled just before serving with food.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Use two</strong> types of thermometers. </span><ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Smoker thermometer: These are often built in. Be sure that the temperature in the smoker stays between 225°F and 300°F (107°C and 149°C).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Food thermometer: Use a food thermometer to make sure food reaches a safe internal <a href="https://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html" id="anch_99">temperature</a>.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Chill promptly.</strong> If you aren’t taking your smoked food straight to the dinner table, refrigerate within two hours of cooking (one hour when the outside temperature is above 90° F (32.2°C)). If the meat is a larger cut of meat, remember to cut the product into smaller portions, place it in shallow containers, cover and refrigerate. For best storage, use within four days, or freeze for later use.</span></li>
</ul>

<div class="introduction">
<span style="color: #073763;">While the $700m price tag is sizeable for a company generating trailing 12-month revenues of $218m, Campbell Soup’s acquisition of Pacific Foods – best known for its shelf-stable plant-based beverages and organic broths and soups – makes strategic sense as it continues to re-engineer its portfolio, say experts.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;"><em>In Dec. 2014, an outbreak of <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=16c99bed40&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">E.
coli O55 was identified in Dorset, U.K. with at least 31 sickened.</a> Public
Health England (PHE) and local environmental health officials investigated and
found nothing, other than cats were also being affected.</em><br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=eb0da98d0a&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=8142d22e29&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Tara
Russell of Bournemouth Echo</a> reports again this week that a review into the
outbreak in Dorset was carried out, health chiefs have insisted – but the report
is not available to the public.<br /><br /><em>Public Health England (PHE) says the
public can only request to see the report detailing exactly what happened when
31 people contracted the O55 strain between July 2014 and November 2015 through
a Freedom of Information request.</em><br /><br /><em>Families including some whose
children have been left with lifelong health complications say they did not know
the review existed and have branded it 'disappointing and disgusting' they have
been kept in the dark.</em><br /><br /><em>The Daily Echo has lodged an official FOI
request on behalf of the affected families and will receive a response in
July.</em><br /><br /><em>Nurse Jessica Archer, who today suffers crippling head
pains, fatigue and depression while her nephew Isaac Mortlock (right) endures
severe seizures, must be peg fed every night and will need a kidney transplant
as a result of the outbreak, said: “Without the Daily Echo we wouldn't even know
this report even existed and we are very interested to see it and we have the
right to know. The families affected have so many unanswered questions and have
to live with the effects of this outbreak forever but yet again we feel Public
Health England are trying to sweep it under the carpet and hope that it will
just go away.</em><br /><br /><em>"It is disappointing and disgusting this report
has not already been made public let alone having to wait and wait still. We
feel there have been a series of failures and this is the
latest."</em><br /><br /><em>The news comes after Jessica last month called for PHE
to be held to account telling how her and her five-year-old nephew's Isaac
Mortlock’s lives have changed irreversibly, and accused the organisation of ‘a
cover up.’</em><br /><br /><em>In response, PHE told the Daily Echo it carries out
‘routine outbreak reviews once investigations have ended’, adding it is 'a
learning organisation and reflects on outbreaks to identify lessons learnt and
to continually improve our response.’</em><br /><br /><em>However at the time, the
organisation refused to tell the Daily Echo exactly which lessons were
learned.</em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=f491c63b06&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>It
was only following a further request from this newspaper, PHE said a report was
compiled however it has not been available to the public.</em><br /><br /><em>A
spokesman said: “This report was not intended for external publication – it’s
not standard procedure to publish outbreak reports externally due to patient
confidentiality – however if interested parties would like to request a copy
they can do this via our Freedom of Information portal.”</em><br /><br />That’s
bullshit.<br /><br />Outbreak investigations are routinely published while ensuring
patient confidentiality.<br /><br /><em>Families say it is the latest in a string of
‘failures’ by Public Health England.</em><br /><br /><em>A spokesman from PHE added:
"As with all outbreaks, PHE Health Protection Team ensured throughout their
investigation that those affected were kept informed of any information that was
uncovered at that time."</em><br /><br />That’s also bullshit.<br /><br />And why UK
health types feature prominently in our paper on when to go public for the
benefit of public health.<br /><br />Three years seems a bit
long.<br /><br /><strong><em>Going public: Early disclosure of food risks for the
benefit of public health</em></strong><br /><br /><em>Mar.17</em><br /><br /><em>NEHA,
Volume 79.7, Pages 8-14</em><br /><br /><em>Benjamin Chapman, Maria Sol Erdozaim,
Douglas Powell</em><br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=32acf19b71&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><em>http://www.neha.org/node/58904</em></a><br /><br /><em>Often
during an outbreak of foodborne illness, there are health officials who have
data indicating that there is a risk prior to notifying the public. During the
lag period between the first public health signal and some release of public
information, there are decision makers who are weighing evidence with the
impacts of going public. </em><br /><br /><em>Multiple agencies and analysts have
lamented that there is not a common playbook or decision tree for how public
health agencies determine what information to release and when. Regularly,
health authorities suggest that how and when public information is released is
evaluated on a case-by-case basis without sharing the steps and criteria used to
make decisions. </em><br /><br /><em>Information provision on its own is not enough.
Risk communication, to be effective and grounded in behavior theory, should
provide control measure options for risk management decisions. There is no
indication in the literature that consumers benefit from paternalistic
protection decisions to guard against information overload. A review of the risk
communication literature related to outbreaks, as well as case studies of actual
incidents, are explored and a blueprint for health authorities to follow is
provided.</em> </span></span><br />

and hand hygiene at Kansas and Missouri petting zoos – 2010-2011. Zoonoses

of print]<br /><br />Abstract below:<br /><br /><i>Observation of public health risk
behaviors, risk communication and hand hygiene at Kansas and Missouri petting
zoos – 2010-2011Outbreaks of human illness have been linked to visiting settings
with animal contact throughout developed countries. This paper details an
observational study of hand hygiene tool availability and recommendations;
frequency of risky behavior; and, handwashing attempts by visitors in Kansas (9)
and Missouri (4), U.S., petting zoos. Handwashing signs and hand hygiene
stations were available at the exit of animal-contact areas in 10/13 and 8/13
petting zoos respectively. Risky behaviors were observed being performed at all
petting zoos by at least one visitor. Frequently observed behaviors were:
children (10/13 petting zoos) and adults (9/13 petting zoos) touching hands to
face within animal-contact areas; animals licking children’s and adults’ hands
(7/13 and 4/13 petting zoos, respectively); and children and adults drinking
within animal-contact areas (5/13 petting zoos each). Of 574 visitors observed
for hand hygiene when exiting animal-contact areas, 37% (n=214) of individuals
attempted some type of hand hygiene, with male adults, female adults, and
children attempting at similar rates (32%, 40%, and 37% respectively). Visitors
were 4.8x more likely to wash their hands when a staff member was present within
or at the exit to the animal-contact area (136/231, 59%) than when no staff
member was present (78/343, 23%; p </i></span></span>

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;">safefood Ireland has joined the UK Food Standards Agency
in providing terrible advice about how to cook burgers.<br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=dfd9fff07a&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>A

says:<br /><br /><em>“Before serving, ensure that the burgers are cooked thoroughly.
Cut into them with a clean knife and check that they are piping hot all the way
through, there is no pink meat remaining and that the juices run
clear.”</em><br /><br />Meanwhile, FSA issued a Safe Summer Food guide as UK
picnickers head out in the sun (there’s sun in the UK?). The guidelines were in
part based results of a self-reported survey, which is largely meaningless but
something FSA likes to do.<br /><br />The Morning Advertiser has more details on the

FSA seems willing to jump through</a> to ensure the safety of rare burgers
including:<br /><br /><em>sourcing the meat only from establishments which have
specific controls in place to minimise the risk of contamination of meat
intended to be eaten raw or lightly cooked;</em><br /><em>ensuring that the
supplier carries out appropriate testing of raw meat to check that their
procedures for minimising contamination are working;</em><br /><em>Strict
temperature control to prevent growth of any bugs and appropriate preparation
and cooking procedures;</em><br /><em>notifying their local authority that burgers
that aren’t thoroughly cooked are being served by the business;
and,</em><br /><em>providing advice to consumers, for example on menus, regarding
the additional risk.</em><br /><br />The advice from these self-proclaimed
science-based agencies is at odds with, uh, science.<br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=41e3dbbf0b&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>It

Journal of Food Science earlier this year that:<br /><br /><em>Premature browning is
a condition wherein ground beef exhibits a well-done appearance before reaching
the USDA recommended internal cooked meat temperature of 71.1 °C; however, the
mechanism is unclear.</em><br /><br /><em>The objectives of this study were: (1) to
determine the effects of packaging and temperature on metmyoglobin reducing
activity (MRA) of cooked ground beef patties and (2) to assess the effects of
temperature and pH on thermal stability of NADH-dependent reductase, lactate
dehydrogenase (LDH), and oxymyoglobin (OxyMb) in-vitro.</em><br /><br /><em>Beef
patties (lean: fat = 85:15) were packaged in high-oxygen modified atmosphere
(HiOX-MAP) or vacuum (VP) and cooked to either 65 or 71 °C. Internal meat color
and MRA of both raw and cooked patties were determined. Purified NADH-dependent
reductase and LDH were used to determine the effects of pH and temperature on
enzyme activity. MRA of cooked patties was temperature and packaging dependent
(P < 0.05). Vacuum packaged patties cooked to 71 °C had greater (P < 0.05)
MRA than HiOX-MAP counterparts.</em><br /><br /><em>Thermal stability of OxyMb,
NADH-dependent reductase, and LDH were different and pH-dependent. LDH was able
to generate NADH at 84 °C; whereas NADH-dependent reductase was least stable to
heat.</em><br /><br /><em>The results suggest that patties have MRA at cooking
temperatures, which can influence cooked meat color.</em><br /><br /><strong>Effects

period between preparing and consuming the food as it was packed in plastic

Monday in a press conference.</em><br /><br /><em>“There were no deliberate
intentions to poison IDPs by those who cooked the food,” he
added.</em><br /><br /><em>“The food itself was okay, but the delay between the
preparation of the meals and their distribution, along with the improper storing
of the food, was the reason hundreds of IDPs became ill,” Hadi emphasized,
stating the case had been sent to court.</em><br /><br /><em>The Governor previously
mentioned the food was cooked at 9:00 a.m. then transferred to the camp at 1:00
p.m. The food was later distributed between 4:00 and 5:00
p.m.</em><br /><br /><em>Following the incident, seven people were arrested, six
from the restaurant where the meals were prepared and one from a charity
organization.</em><br /><br /><em>The restaurant was also closed, Erbil police
previously informed.</em><br /><br /><em>Hadi noted the food should be prepared at
the camps and that premade meals are forbidden.</em><br /><br /><em>He thanked the
Peshmerga and security members for quickly transporting 638 IDPs to hospitals in
Erbil to receive prompt medical treatment, while the remaining were treated at
the camps.</em><br /><br /><em>The Erbil Health Department’s Director-General Saman
Hussein Barzinjy told Kurdistan24 the group which delivered the donation did not
take into consideration health hazards related to food preparation and
distribution.</em><br /><br /><em>At the time, Barzinjy mentioned one of the camp’s
inhabitants had died from food poisoning.</em><br /><br /><em>However, a statement
released on Tuesday apologized for the misinformation, assuring no one had died,
adding the condition of the child who was thought dead was
“stable.”</em><br /><br /><em>The Kurdistan Region is home to almost two million
IDPs and refugees who fled from the threat of the Islamic State in Iraq and

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;">It’s a question that has perplexed scientists: does
diarrhea have a purpose?<br /><br />That is, is diarrhea is a symptom of disease, or
does diarrhea actually help clear the bacteria causing an infection.<br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=27df550369&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=eb34accca5&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=ee52842783&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Cecile
Borkhataria of the Daily Mail</a> reports that<em> scientists have found in sick
mice, proteins caused microscopic leaks in the intestinal wall that let water
in, making the mouse poop looser and limiting disease
severity. </em><br /><br /><em>The <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=d00c1e036b&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">study</a>,
conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), looked at the
immune mechanisms that drive diarrhea.</em><br /><br /><em>Diarrhea can have many
different causes, including infections, certain types of medications, too much
caffeine or alcohol and many more. </em><br /><br /><em>It happens when there's an
excess of water in the intestines, which is normally re-absorbed by the
body. </em><br /><br /><em>The intestinal wall is lined with cells, and some water
can pass through the cells, holes in the lining or via junctions between the
cells. </em><br /><br /><em>'The hypothesis that diarrhea clears intestinal
pathogens has been debated for centuries,' said corresponding author of the
study Dr Jerrold Turner of the BWH Departments of Pathology and
Medicine. </em><br /><br /><em>'Its impact on the progression of intestinal
infections remains poorly understood. </em><br /><br /><em>'We sought to define the
role of diarrhea and to see if preventing it might actually delay pathogen
clearance and prolong disease.'</em><br /><br /><em>To conduct the <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=5316606ad0&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">study</a>,
the researchers used a mouse infected with a bacteria called Citrobacter
rodentium - the mouse equivalent of an E. coli
infection. </em><br /><br /><em>Within two days of the mouse being infected, the
researchers saw an increase in the permeability of the mouse's intestinal
barrier - leading to water entering the intestines, causing
diarrhea.</em><br /><br /><em>This occurred well before inflammation cellular damage
of the intestines. </em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=87e5ad95ce&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>The
researchers discovered two new proteins involved in causing diarrhea -
interleukin-22 and claudin-2, which humans possess too. </em><br /><br /><em>They
found that when the mouse was infected, immune cells travelled to the intestinal
wall and produced interleukin-22. </em><br /><br /><em>Interleukin-22 binds to cells
on the intestinal wall, causing the release of another protein called
claudin-2. </em><br /><br /><em>It's claudin-2 that causes the leak in cellular
junction in the intestinal wall, allowing water to enter it and cause
diarrhea. </em><br /><br /><em>The researchers tested three different kinds of mice
- regular mice, genetically modified mice that produce large amount of
claudin-2, and mice that didn't make any claudin-2. </em><br /><br /><em>The regular
mice had diarrhea when they got sick, and the mice that made more claudin-2
always had diarrhea. </em><br /><br /><em>The mice that didn't make any claudin-2
had more e injuries to their intestinal lining, and they still had diarrhea
because it seemed as though their immune system attacked the cells help make
some diarrhea. </em><br /><br />In related poop news, <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=d3d6ad2a26&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Rob
Knight</a>, one of the founding fathers of gut microbiome research, in 2012,
used the crowdfunding platform <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=6a04f6241a&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">FundRazr</a> to
coax more than 9,000 volunteers into first donating money, and then sending
samples of their poop through the mail.<em> A team of researchers probed these
samples for bacterial DNA to create the first census of the 40 trillion or so
bacteria that call our guts their home.</em><br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=7683949104&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Kyle
Frischkorn of the Smithsonian</a> quotes Knight, who directs of the Center for
Microbiome Innovation at the University of California at San Diego, as
saying,<em> “You get an ongoing input of microbes from your environment—microbes
you eat on food itself.”</em><br /><br /><em>One of the mysteries sparked by the
American Gut Project was why two people who claimed to follow the same diet
could have such different communities of gut microbes. For the study, volunteers
had <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=4ce41b67df&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">self-reported
their diets</a>, with the vast majority following omnivorous diets, and less
than 3 percent each identifying as "vegetarian" or "vegan." When researchers
crunched the numbers, however, they found <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=0634b75e1e&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">no
discernible correlations</a> between gut communities and those with seemingly
similar diets. </em><br /><br /><em>“Diet categories were completely useless and
didn’t correlate with the microbiome communities at all,” says
Knight.</em><br /><br /><em>In other words, the bacteria in poop were telling a
different dietary story than the people making that poop. “You can be a vegan
who mostly eats kale, or you can be a vegan who mostly eats fries,” Knight
explains. “Those have totally different consequences for your microbiome.”
Anyone can claim to be a die-hard adherent to the Paleo Diet, it seems, but the
data suggested that the microbiome remembers all those midnight ice cream
transgressions.</em><br /><br /><em>Knight realized that the results of the American
Gut Project were missing something crucial: A deeper dive into the food we eat.
Filling that gap would mean analyzing all the food going in, and seeing how it
correlated with the patterns in what comes out. But while collecting poop was,
in some sense, straightforward—each person "submits a sample" in the same
way—tallying up all the many foods people eat would be a lot more
ambitious.</em><br /><br /><em>Every time you ingest, you change the interior
landscape of you. Because the bulk of bacteria in the microbiome live in the
gut, when we feed ourselves, we feed them too. The chemistry of what we eat, be
it fries or kale, alters the chemical landscape of the gut, making it more cozy
for some and less hospitable for others. </em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=25cdadbf34&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=c4d7ccd8e6&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>It
gets livelier. Because microbes are everywhere—<a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=737130901f&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">on
the table, in the air</a>, on the surface of the muffin you left out on the
counter—you’re also adding new microbes to the mix. Some stroll through your
body like polite tourists. Others stick around and interact with the locals.
Every bite has the potential to alter the microbiome, and subsequently human
health. But researchers have yet to figure out how.</em><br /><br /><em>That’s
because, until now, we didn’t have the platform to embark on the massive
endeavor of collecting and analyzing food samples from around the world. Thanks
to the American Gut Project, Knight and his team aren't starting from scratch.
Initially, the researchers plan to collect 1,000 samples from every brick of the
familiar food pyramid, and then they’ll open it for the public to submit
whatever foods they’re curious about. </em><br /><br /><em>“We know about calorie
count, and about different food groups, but the whole world of the molecules and
the microbes in our food is a black box,” says Julia Gauglitz, a post-doctoral
researcher at the Center for Microbiome Innovation who will direct a new
project. As the old adage goes, “we are what we eat,” she says. And yet, when
you get down to the microscopic level, “we know very little about what we’re
consuming.”</em><br /><br /><em>Everything we eat is the cumulative product of the
chemistry and microbes in the soil where it was grown, the factory where it was
processed, and whatever you touched right before you ate it. Why is that
important? Ultimately, the team hopes, demystifying the microbial patterns in
our food will help us better engineer our diets to improve our health and ward
off disease.</em><br /><br /><em>Knight draws a historical parallel to the discovery
of essential nutrients. In the last century, researchers figured out that
industrially processed foods had become nutrient-depleted. By <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=e362772b03&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">artificially
adding vitamins and minerals</a> back in, deficiency diseases like rickets and
beriberi were largely eliminated from the Western world. Similarly,
understanding the health effects of the microbiome could allow us to engineer
those missing microbes back into our meals.</em><br /><br /><em>“It’s fairly likely
that our modern lifestyles are stripping out a whole lot of live microbes that
we need to maintain health,” says Knight. “Getting an understanding of that
could be as important as the understanding that vitamin C is necessary and
making sure that everyone got enough of it.”</em></span>

and external food safety audits are conducted to assess the safety and quality
of food including on-farm production, manufacturing practices, sanitation, and
hygiene. Some auditors are direct stakeholders that are employed by food
establishments to conduct internal audits, while other auditors may represent
the interests of a second-party purchaser or a third-party auditing agency. Some
buyers conduct their own audits or additional testing, while some buyers trust
the results of third-party audits or inspections. Third-party auditors, however,
use various food safety audit standards and most do not have a vested interest
in the products being sold. Audits are conducted under a proprietary standard,
while food safety inspections are generally conducted within a legal framework.
There have been many foodborne illness outbreaks linked to food processors that
have passed third-party audits and inspections, raising questions about the
utility of both. Supporters argue third-party audits are a way to ensure food
safety in an era of dwindling economic resources. Critics contend that while
external audits and inspections can be a valuable tool to help ensure safe food,
such activities represent only a snapshot in time. This paper identifies
limitations of food safety inspections and audits and provides recommendations
for strengthening the system, based on developing a strong food safety culture,
including risk-based verification steps, throughout the food safety system.</em>

Michael J. de la Merced and Nick Wingfield of The New York Times</a> the Amazon

juggernaut.</em><br /><br /><em>For <a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=6822e493c5&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Whole
Foods</a>, the deal represents a chance to fend off pressure from activist

chairwoman and bringing in a new chief financial officer. It also laid out plans
to improve operations and cut costs.</em><br /><br /><em>Forget all the organic,

that attracts gullible consumers to drop extra cash on food with a lot of

on expanding beyond online retail</a> into physical stores. The company is
slowly building a fleet of outlets, and much attention has been focused on its
supermaket dreams. It has already made an initial push through AmazonFresh, its
grocery delivery service.</em><br /><br /><em>The e-commerce giant has been testing
a variety of other retail concepts. It has opened a convenience store that does
not need cashiers, and has explored another grocery store concept that could
serve walk-in customers and act as a hub for home
deliveries.</em><br /><br /><em>Under the terms of the proposed deal, Amazon would
pay $42 a share for Whole Foods, a 27 percent premium to Thursday’s closing
price. After the deal was announced, shares of Amazon rose as much as 3.3
percent while other major retailers, including Target, Walmart and Costco
Wholesale fell sharply.</em><br /><br /><em>Whole Foods, which was founded in 1978
in Austin, Tex., is best known for its organic foods. The company built its
brand on healthy eating and staked its reputation on fresh, local produce,
albeit with a high price tag.</em><br /><br /><em>But the company has increasingly
faced fierce competition from rival supermarkets. National retailers like
Costco, Safeway and Walmart have begun offering organic produce and kitchen
staples, forcing Whole Foods to slash prices.</em><br /><br /> </span></span>

Dr. David Gleeson says</a> the Irish dairy industry has lost markets in the EU
due to the excessive levels of iodine in milk, adding, “We have way too much
iodine in our milk.”</em><br /><br /><em>“A number of years ago when we had a
deficiency of iodine, around 30 to 40 years ago, it was suggested that we should
have higher levels of iodine [in our feedstuffs],” Gleeson said when explaining
how the current issue developed.</em><br /><br /><em>And now, he said, there is too
much iodine going into cows’ diets.</em><br /><br /><em>“About 12mg of iodine per
cow per day is a safe bet. It’s 5mg per cow per day in other
countries.</em><br /><br /><em>“We’re putting in 120mg in a lot of situations. Some
of our feeds could contain 30mg/kg of iodine and farmers could be feeding 4kg of
that. That’s 120mg per cow per day,” Gleeson said.</em><br /><br /><em>He also
mentioned how some supplementary magnesium products contain added iodine and can
result in iodine intakes of up to 90mg per cow per day.</em><br /><br /><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=2c70d47ad6&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Nutrition
Australia</a> says<em> iodine is an essential trace element and an integral
component of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are required for normal growth
and development of tissues and maturation of our bodies. Iodine deficiency is
the most common preventable cause of mental retardation in the world; obtaining
iodine through the food supply is therefore paramount. Iodine deficiency has
re-emerged in Australia with the introduction of new practices of sanitization
in the dairy industry and a decline in use and consumption of iodised
salt.</em><br /><br /> </span></span>

Food Authority </a></em>(that’s in Australia) reports<em> a woman has been fined
a total of $28,000 and ordered to pay professional costs of $25,000 after she
pleaded guilty to four charges relating to the sale of unpasteurised or ‘raw’
milk in Goulburn Local Court.</em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://barfblog.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37f2340f317e515283be90ece&id=066536ca74&e=c072fe8264" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>On
Thursday 8 June 2017, Julia Ruth McKay from Bungonia on the southern tablelands
was fined under section 104 of the Food Act 2003 for selling milk which was not
pasteurised in contravention of Food Regulation 2010, and for conducting a food
business without a licence as required by the Regulation.</em><br /><br /><em>She
also pleaded guilty to two charges under section 21 of the Act for selling
unpasteurised milk that exceeded acceptable microbiological limits for standard
plate counts and Listeria.</em><br /><br /><em>NSW Food Authority CEO Dr Lisa Szabo
said Food Authority officers found that Ms McKay was operating a ‘herd sharing’
business whereby a person enters into a contract and purchase shares in a herd
or individual cow and consequently receives raw milk produced by that
herd.</em><br /><br /><em>"Claims that this doesn’t constitute the sale of food are
false, the operation of a herd share arrangement can constitute food for sale
under the Food Act," Dr Szabo said.</em><br /><br /><em>"Milk for sale in NSW needs
to be licensed with the NSW Food Authority to ensure it is subject to the
stringent safety requirements of the Dairy Food Safety
Scheme."</em><br /><br /><em>Dr Szabo said statistics show that raw milk is a high
food safety risk.</em><br /><br /><em>"Nationally and internationally raw milk
products account for a small proportion of sales but a very large proportion of
outbreaks," she said.</em><br /><br /><em>"Unpasteurised milk could contain harmful
bacteria such as E.coli, Salmonella and Listeria that can result in illness or
even death.</em><br /><br /><em>The prosecution resulted from an investigation of Ms
McKay by the NSW Food Authority in 2015 where samples of raw milk taken from an
animal that was part of her herd share arrangement returned positive for the
presence of Listeria.</em><br /><br /><em>The operation was immediately shut down by
the NSW Food Authority and the Prohibition Order remains in
place.</em><br /><br /><em>Dr Szabo said consumers need to be aware of claims that
raw milk has superior nutritional value are unfounded.</em><br /><br /> </span></span>

than waving the seafood around in revelry like a smelly, guts-filled Terrible

Look, I get it. Deep-frying those bad boys or firing up an electric grill in the
middle of a large crowd would’ve been dangerous, but besides being absolutely
disgusting, consuming raw catfish doesn’t seem like the safest idea. When was

</a><br /><br /> Abstract:<br /><br /><em>Purpose – The purpose of the present study was to observe the <a href="http://barfblog.com/2009/11/direct-video-observation-of-adults-and-tweens-cooking-raw-frozen-chicken-thingies/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">preparation practices of both adult and young consumers using frozen, uncooked, breaded chicken products</a>, which were previously involved in outbreaks linked to consumer mishandling. The study also sought to observe behaviors of adolescents as home food preparers. Finally, the study aimed to compare food handler behaviors with those prescribed on product labels.
</em><br /><br /><em>Design/methodology/approach – The study sought, through video observation and self-report surveys, to determine if differences exist between consumers’ intent and actual behavior.</em><br /><br /><em>
Findings – A survey study of consumer reactions to safe food-handling labels on raw meat and poultry products suggested that instructions for safe handling found on labels had only limited influence on consumer practices. The labels studied by these researchers were found on the packaging of chicken products examined in the current study alongside step-by-step cooking instructions. Observational techniques, as mentioned above, provide a different perception of consumer behaviors.</em><br /><br /><em>
Originality/value – This paper finds areas that have not been studied in previous observational research and is an excellent addition to existing literature.</em></span> <div class="toplink" style="margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 5px;">

<span style="color: #999999; font-size: 11.5px;"><span style="color: blue;">Posted by <b>Doug Powell</b> on <b>06/30/2017</b> from <b>Barfblog</b></span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;"> Researchers at the BC Centre for Disease Control report in the British Medical Journal that<em> between November 2016 and March 2017 more than 400 individuals across Canada developed norovirus gastroenteritis associated with the consumption of BC oysters. Over 100 cases occurred mid-November in participants at a Tofino oyster festival. Six cases occurred in persons attending a December oyster barbecue in Victoria. By March over 300 additional cases of norovirus linked to cultivated BC oysters harvested from multiple sites on both the east and west coasts of Vancouver Island were identified in BC, Alberta, and Ontario consumers. </em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/BCoyster.jpg" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>Norovirus is a highly infectious cause of gastroenteritis typically spread from person to person and is associated with regular community outbreaks in schools, hospitals, day cares, and care facilities. Foodborne outbreaks of norovirus are often linked to ill food handlers. In this recent outbreak, oysters were contaminated in the marine environment where they were farmed. The trace-back of oysters consumed by infected individuals led to the closure of 13 geographically dispersed marine farms in BC and to extensive public outreach.</em><br /><br /><em>Genotypic analysis of norovirus isolated from the cases included several variants of genogroup I (GI) early in the outbreak and both genogroups GI and GII later in the outbreak. </em><br /><br /><em>Both GI and GII norovirus were detected in oysters from shellfish farms. This suggests that oysters bind and act as a reservoir for community outbreak strains and disseminate those strains to consumers.[<a href="http://www.bcmj.org/bc-centre-disease-control/bc-oysters-and-norovirus-hundreds-cases-months-%E2%80%9Cr%E2%80%9D#a1" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">1</a>] </em><br /><br /><em>Although sewage is often the cause of oyster contamination it remains unclear whether one or many sewage sources contributed to the contamination of shellfish farms. The 2016–17 outbreak was preceded by a wet fall and accompanied an unseasonably cold winter. Wet, cold, and dark winters enhance norovirus survival, allowing for longer retention in ocean sediments and in oysters.[<a href="http://www.bcmj.org/bc-centre-disease-control/bc-oysters-and-norovirus-hundreds-cases-months-%E2%80%9Cr%E2%80%9D#a2" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">2,3</a>] The infective dose of norovirus is estimated as few as 18 particles.[<a href="http://www.bcmj.org/bc-centre-disease-control/bc-oysters-and-norovirus-hundreds-cases-months-%E2%80%9Cr%E2%80%9D#a2" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">2</a>] Given the low infective dose and the viability of norovirus in cold water, we postulate that sewage spread by ocean currents may have contaminated geographically dispersed farms. Among potential sources under investigation are sewer overflows, metropolitan and local wastewater treatment plants, municipal raw sewage discharge, and commercial fishing vessels. The BCCDC is leading a collaborative group reviewing pollution sources discharging to BC marine environments that may have contaminated BC oysters. </em><br /><br /><em>In this outbreak, both raw and cooked oysters led to illness; oysters were likely insufficiently cooked to inactivate norovirus. In addition to norovirus, pathogens like Vibrio sp., Salmonella sp., and hepatitis A can be transmitted to oyster consumers; cooking oysters to an internal temperature of 90 °C for at least 90 seconds will reduce this risk. The “rule” that shellfish is safe to eat in months with an “r” (September to April) is false. First, bacteria and viruses persist in cold seawater.

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;"> Last year someone I didn't know called me about whether I had heard about people getting Salmonella from peppers. I hadn't. It was around the same time there were a few recalls:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/2016/07/salmonella-positive-serrano-peppers-recalled/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Serrano peppers from Warren Produce</a> in Edinburg, Texas<br /><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/2016/05/salmonella-positive-triggers-habanero-pepper-recall/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Habanero peppers from Montero Farms</a> in McAllen, Texas<br /><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/2016/07/canada-salmonella-in-fresh-chili-peppers/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Chili peppers from Canada Herb</a><br /><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/2016/07/more-salmonella-in-canadian-hot-peppers/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Red Thai peppers from Veg-Pak Produce Ltd. </a><br /><br /> And that FDA had been <a href="http://www.barfblog.com/2016/07/fda-shares-data-on-cucumber-and-hot-pepper-testing/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">sampling peppers for Salmonella</a>.<a href="http://www.barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Bounty-mix-super-hot-peppers-pepper-joes.jpg" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a><br /><br /> I didn't think much about it until this afternoon, when <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6625a2.htm" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">CDC published a report in MMWR about a multistate S. Anatum outbreak</a> linked to imported hot peppers.<br /><br /><em>In June 2016, PulseNet identified a cluster of 16 Salmonella Anatum infections with an indistinguishable pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern from four states.* In April 2016, the same PFGE pattern had been uploaded to PulseNet from an isolate obtained from an Anaheim pepper, a mild to medium hot pepper. Hot peppers include many pepper varieties, such as Anaheim, jalapeño, poblano, and serrano, which can vary in heat level from mild to very hot depending on the variety and preparation. This rare PFGE pattern had been seen only 24 times previously in the PulseNet database, compared with common PFGE patterns for this serotype which have been seen in the database hundreds of times. Local and state health departments, CDC, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigated to determine the cause of the outbreak. Thirty-two patients in nine states were identified with illness onsets from May 6–July 9, 2016.</em><br /><br /><em>Local and state investigators visited restaurants where patients reported consuming peppers. They collected recipes for reported menu items, including salsa, and reviewed invoices to identify common ingredients. To identify the source of hot peppers, FDA conducted traceback (the process of tracing a food from point-of-service to its origin or manufacturer source) from three restaurants in Minnesota and Texas where patients reported eating. Two of the three restaurants received peppers from a consolidator/grower in Mexico (consolidator/grower B) (Figure 3), which exported Anaheim peppers to the United States in April 2016. Consolidators pool foods from different growers or growing locations; this designation is also used if some growers/growing locations are unknown.** The third restaurant received peppers from various firms in Mexico; however, this restaurant had received peppers from consolidator/grower B before this outbreak. Because of the complicated supply chain for peppers and the extensive mixing of peppers from different suppliers, repacking, and reselling of product, FDA was unable to identify a single source farm or point of contamination for peppers.</em><br /><br /> Too bad. Maybe this is what the call was about. </span></span> <div class="toplink" style="margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 5px;">

The term was first publicly reported in The Times in late 2009.</em><br /><br /><em>In April 2011, celebtard chef Jamie Oliver helped create a more publicly available pink slime yuck factor and by the end of 2011, McDonald’s and others had stopped using pink slime.</em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/politicians.pink_.slime_.hamburger.jpeg" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>On March 7, 2012, ABC News recycled these bits, along with some interviews with two of the original USDA opponents of the process (primarily because it was a form of fraud, and not really just beef).</em><br /><br /><em>Industry and others responded the next day, and although the story had been around for several years, the response drove the pink slime story to gather media momentum – a story with legs.</em><br /><br /><em>BPI said pink slime was meat so consumers didn’t need to be informed, and everything was a gross misunderstanding. BPI blamed media and vowed to educate public. Others said “it’s pink so it’s meat” and that the language of pink slime was derogatory and needed to be changed. USDA said it was safe for schools but quickly decided that schools would be able to choose whatever beef they wanted, pushing decision-making in the absence of data or labels to the local PTA. An on-line petition was launched.</em><br /><br /><em>Sensing the media taint, additional retailers rushed to proclaim themselves free of the pink stuff.</em><br /><br /><em>BPI took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, the favored reading choice for pink slime aficionados, and four mid-west governors banded together to repeat the same erroneous messages during a media-show-and-tell at a BPI plant. Because political endorsements rarely work, and the story had spread to the key demographic of burger eaters, others sensed opportunity in the trashing of BPI. Wendy’s, Whole Foods, Costco, A&P, Publix and others launched their own media campaigns proclaiming they’ve never used the stuff and never would.</em><br /><br /><em><a href="http://www.barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/pink.slime_.daily_.show_.jpeg" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a>Guess they didn’t get their dude-it’s-beef T-shirts.</em><br /><br /><em>These well-intentioned messages only made things worse for the beef producers and processors they were intended to protect.</em><br /><br /><em>Here’s what can be learned for the next pink slime.

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;"> That’s what I told <a href="https://www.livescience.com/59647-feces-iced-coffee.html" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Sara Miller of Live Science </a>in reference to a BBC story on the safety of popular cafe drinks.<br /><br /> The original story Sara was asking about is from a <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/business-40426228" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">BBC investigation</a> into the safety of ice, iced drinks and coffee shop environments.<br /><br /> Samples of iced drinks from Costa Coffee, Starbucks and Caffe Nero contained varying levels of the bacteria, the BBC's Watchdog found.<a href="http://www.barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/img63l.jpg" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></a><br /><br /> Expert Tony Lewis said the levels found were "concerning”. "These should not be present at any level - never mind the significant numbers found," he added.<br /><br /> Cleanliness of tables, trays and high chairs at the chains was also tested at 30 branches. Seven out of 10 samples of Costa ice were found to be contaminated with bacteria found in faeces.<br /><br /> What is concerning to the expert? Fecal coliform.<br /><br /> I was introduced to fecal coliform when investigating wash water and vegetables at Ontario (that’s in Canada) greenhouses 15 years ago. We were looking for analytical methods to provide some feedback to producers. We sampled the water for coliform and generic <em>E. coli</em> - and the veggies for generic <em>E. coli</em> and<em> Salmonella</em>. We had initially started looking for coliform and fecal coliform but some smart produce microbiologists suggested the indicator group wasn’t telling folks much.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.asmscience.org/content/journal/microbe/10.1128/microbe.1.162.1" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Or as Mike Doyle and Marilyn Erickson wrote in Microbe in 2006</a>, 'the fecal coliform assay should at a minimum be redefined to specifically qualify that it is not a reliable indicator of either E. coli or the presence of fecal contamination.'<br /><br /> Makes for good headlines. Doesn’t tell folks anything about risk. Or feces. Might as well sample for covfefe.<br /><br /><em>Chapman also noted that he'd be more focused on what's going on in the coffee shops. For example, do employees wash their hands regularly and after handling potentially contaminated foods and products? Do they sanitize the equipment properly? These behaviors could be more indicative of the overall health risks the beverages and foods pose to consumers, he said.</em><br /><br /><em>In addition, it's unclear what type of testing the investigators used for the BBC report. Knowing these methods would provide more useful information, Chapman said. If investigators looked only for bacterial DNA, for example, you wouldn't know if the bacteria were alive or dead.</em><br /><br /><em>"We eat dead bacteria all the time," he added, referring to the fact that dead bacteria aren't going to make you sick.</em><br /><br /> We eat live bacteria all the time - and it doesn’t cause illness. I meant to say we eat dead pathogens all the time.<br /><br /> And if you want poop in your iced coffee, make it from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">kopi luwak</a>. </span></span> <div class="toplink" style="margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 5px;">

A carefully designed informatics infrastructure developed in the IBM Accelerated Discovery Lab, a data and analytics hub for IBM researchers and their clients and partners, will help the team parse and aggregate terabytes of genomic data.”</em><br /><br /> Better than a poorly designed informatics infrastructure. </span></span> <div class="toplink" style="margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 5px;">

Gala had a daughter from an earlier marriage but the couple had no children of their own. Upon his death, at age 84, Dali bestowed his estate to the Spanish state.</em><br /><br /><em>On Monday, a Madrid court statement said that tests with DNA from Dali’s embalmed body were necessary because there were no other existing biological remains with which to make a genetic comparison.</em></span> <div class="toplink" style="margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 5px;">

<span style="color: #073763;">CHICAGO (Reuters) - In recent months, Chipotle has lost customers, sales and profits after outbreaks of foodborne illnesses that sickened more than 500 people from Seattle to Boston.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The burrito chain will shut its 1,900 U.S. restaurants on Monday for a meeting with employees to review a rapid overhaul of practices that it hopes will eliminate outbreaks of E. coli, Salmonella and norovirus.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">But there is no easy way to know whether the fast food chain's safety record is any better or worse than that of other major restaurant chain.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Food safety investigations in the United States begin - and often end - at the local level, and some states limit the disclosure of implicated restaurants, keeping diners in the dark.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">

<span style="color: #073763;">Federal public health investigators get involved only when multi-state outbreaks are identified. A publicly available national database identifies tainted foods and pathogen culprits, but it would not help a consumer who wants to know whether one restaurant chain has a better safety record than another.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">"There is not a surveillance system that exists nationally that answers that question," said Matthew Wise, who leads the team investigating multi-state outbreaks at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Roughly 48 million people, one in six U.S. residents, are sickened by tainted food each year and nearly 3,000 die.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Food safety advocates say more information would help. The development of a national database of safety scores broken out by chain could motivate restaurants to improve and maintain high standards, said Darin Detwiler, senior policy coordinator for STOP Foodborne Illness. </span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">

<span style="color: #073763;">"We just want to know about the bad apples so we can avoid them," said Detwiler, whose young son died in a 1993 Jack-in-the-Box E. coli outbreak that killed four children and sickened more than 700 people.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">But Jeffrey Duchin, a Seattle, Washington public health official, said a national system for tracking restaurants by outbreaks could give consumers the wrong impression about where they can safely eat.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">

<span style="color: #073763;">"Just looking at the ones that might have been reported with an outbreak that was detected would be a very biased sample," Duchin said.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$11" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">

<span style="color: #073763;">In Chipotle's case, sales slid about 36 percent in January after falling by 14.6 percent in the fourth quarter. And the company said last week that a federal criminal probe linked to a food safety incident at a California restaurant has now widened into a national investigation.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$13" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Founder and co-Chief Executive Steve Ells boldly pledged in December to make Chipotle the safest place to eat. Asked later how the company would demonstrate it had met the goal, a spokesman said that executives were "less concerned about how we might rank that, and more concerned about reducing risk to a level near zero."</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">The first Chipotle outbreak hit diners of a Seattle restaurant in late July. Health officials learned of the E. coli illnesses in early August and linked them to the Chipotle outlet within days. But by that time, the alarm was over: The incubation period had passed, and no additional patients were expected, health officials said.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$16" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">

<span style="color: #073763;">Local officials reported the outbreak to the state, which performed DNA testing to identify the E. coli strain. The Seattle cases only came to the CDC's attention because the agency happened to have a team at the Seattle health department in August on another matter, Duchin said.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Last month, Seattle's public health department began publishing more details about routine foodborne illness cases on its website in response to public demands for more information, spokesman James Apa said.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2fhyuscighs.$default.0.0.2.5.0.0.$Col1-0-ContentCanvasProxy.$Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$19" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;">

<span style="color: #073763;">He said the information released includes the names of restaurants linked to routine outbreaks, a departure from the department's previous practice of naming restaurants only when there is an identified, ongoing danger to the public. The change was under discussion before Chipotle's problems.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">In Minnesota, where Salmonella and E. coli outbreaks were linked to Chipotle outlets, officials do not always publicly release the names of implicated restaurants, partly because of a belief that it might discourage operators from cooperating with investigations, said Kirk Smith of the Minnesota Department of Health.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Apart from NORS, the CDC participates in foodborne illness investigations when they involve outbreaks in multiple states, said Wise, who oversees those efforts. About 25 such outbreaks are identified each year, mostly involving food producers.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The trouble began in August when 64 customers in Minnesota were infected with Salmonella and about 100 people were struck by norovirus in southern California. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">These infections were followed by an E. coli outbreak in October and November that affected 53 people in nine states. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In December, Chipotle suffered from two more outbreaks. Roughly 140 students at Boston college were infected with norovirus and a second new incidence of E. coli broke out affecting five people in three states. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Some customers are </span><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/03/news/companies/chipotle-sued-e-coli/?iid=EL"><span style="color: #073763;">suing Chipotle</span></a><span style="color: #073763;">. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The company has projected an</span><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2015/12/04/news/companies/chipotle-ecoli-outbreak-sales-shares/index.html?iid=EL"><span style="color: #073763;"> 8% drop in sales</span></a><span style="color: #073763;"> for the fourth quarter. Chipotle will provide its quarterly financial results on February 2. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But CEO Steve Ells said earlier this week that he was "hopeful" the Centers for Disease Control would soon declare that the outbreaks were over. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">"We know that Chipotle is as safe as it's ever been before," said Ells on Jan. 13 at a conference in Orlando. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold said there hasn't been an E. coli case in two months. Since then, the company says it's been serving a million customers a day </span><a href="http://ir.chipotle.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=194775&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2120228" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;">"without incident."</span></a><span style="color: #073763;"> </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">FDA Finds Consumer Definitions of 'Natural' </span></h1>
<h1 class="postTitle">
<span style="color: #073763;">Food Headspinning</span></h1>
<div class="date blog_post_meta">
<span style="color: #073763;"> Submitted by </span><a href="http://www.foodprocessing.com/blogs/thescoop/?authorID=37213"><span style="color: #073763;">Lauren R. Hartman, Product Development Editor</span></a><span style="color: #073763;"> </span></div>
<div class="date blog_post_meta">
<span style="color: #073763;"> </span></div>
<div class="Content">
<span style="color: #073763;">Consumers are telling the Food and Drug Administration what "natural" food means to them, and are coming up with all kinds of dizzying definitions and remarks, according to the Genetic Literacy Project, which recently aggregated and excerpted a blog/article to reflect the diversity of news, opinion and analysis.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The FDA will have its work cut out for it when it tries to come up with a workable definition of natural, if the comments submitted so far are indication. The myriad comments are in response to an FDA call to action, issued on November 10 inviting views on whether it is appropriate to define natural on food labels, and if so, what the definition should be.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So far, most of the 781 comments have been posted in the docket from the 2,110 received are from consumers, with the leading food companies and trade associations probably going to ask for the comment period to be extended. Failing that, they will have to submit their views just prior to the Feb. 10 deadline.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How are consumers defining natural? There are so many rambling discussions that don't explain much beyond that they are suspicious of the term, natural, on food labels, and in many cases are confident that simply prohibiting its use on products containing "chemicals" would resolve the matter once and for all. That's a viewpoint that might make food scientists giggle, but nonetheless, a point that reflects the challenge facing the FDA.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Many of the definitions suggested by consumers underscore the rabbit hole that the term natural slides us through, as they rely on words such as chemicals, "artificial," and "processed," which are almost as difficult to define as the term natural itself.</span><br />

effective way to provide information about how food was grown and prepared?<br />
<br />
I’ve been touting the same approach to food safety information for over 20
years: figure out the best and most meaningful way to provide open access;
embrace new technology, and no one wants to be the politician who tells
constituents, no, you don’t deserve to know.<br />
<br />
Restaurant inspection results should be disclosed as local communities are
discovering around the world; but what’s the best way? We do research on
that.<br />
<br />
People say they want to know if something is genetically modified; I prefer
genetic engineering, because all food is genetically modified in some manner,
and sold sweet corn as GE 16 years ago.<br />
<br />
No biggie.<br />
<br />
Technology seems to have caught up with my democratic dreams and food
information is about to flood the mainstream.<br />
<br />
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has agreed with the food industry to
publish the results of industry testing of meat products, to provide a
clearer picture of standards in the food chain. The results will also be made
publicly available.<br />
<br />
UK Nestle is preparing to give people instant access to information about the
nutritional profile and environmental and social impacts of its products.
Anyone who buys a multi-pack of two-finger Kit Kat chocolate bars in the U.K.
and Ireland will be able to find out more about what they are made of, how
they fit into a balanced diet and lifestyle, and how they were produced, just
by scanning the packaging with a smartphone.<br />
<br />
And Food Quality News reports that bakery manufacturers who want to
differentiate themselves in a competitive market should consider
communicating safety and quality efforts to consumers.<br />
<br />
We do research on that too.<br />
<br />
But Hershey’s Kisses?<br />
<br />
Why not.<br />
<br />
Dan Charles of NPR asks,<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">
can big food win friends by revealing its secrets?</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">The special holiday
version of Hershey's Kisses, now on sale nationwide, is an icon of the food
industry's past, and perhaps also a harbinger of its future.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Back when Milton
Hershey started making this product, more than a century ago, it was a
simpler time. He ran the factory and the sales campaigns — although, for
decades, he refused to advertise.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Today, The Hershey
Company is a giant enterprise with factories around the globe. It owns food
companies in China, Brazil and India.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">That's typical for
the food industry, of course. Lots of food companies are huge. And with
vastly increased scale comes growing skepticism about what those companies
are up to.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Amanda Hitt may be
an extreme case. She's director of the Food Integrity Campaign for an
activist organization called the Government Accountability Project, which tries
to expose the food industry's darkest secrets: dangerous slaughterhouses,
contaminated meat and exploited workers. "This industry is almost always
wrong, and always doing something messed up," she says. "So yeah,
when I look at anything they do, there's a certain level of skepticism."</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Charlie Arnot, who
has studied consumer attitudes as a consultant to big food companies, says
consumers have lots of questions: How is this food made? Is it good for me?
And they tend not to trust answers from big companies.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">"There is a
significant bias against Big Food," says Arnot, who is also CEO of the
nonprofit Center for Food Integrity in Kansas City. "In fact, the larger
the company, the more likely it is that people will believe that it will put
profit ahead of the public interest."</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Companies can't
change that with marketing campaigns, he says. The one thing that they can do
— and the only thing that works, according to Arnot's research — is open up,
and reveal details of their operations.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Which brings us back
to those Hershey's Kisses.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Deb Arcoleo, who
carries the freshly minted title of director of Product Transparency for The
Hershey Company, has brought a bag of them along to our meeting, because
there's something new on that package. Printed on the bag, so small that
you'd easily miss it, is a little square QR code. These are the codes that
you now see in lots of places, like airline boarding passes.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Arcoleo takes my
smartphone, aims it at the code, and I hear a beep. Suddenly, the screen of
my phone is filled with information about these Hershey's Kisses: nutrition
facts, allergens in this product and details about all the ingredients.
Lecithin, for instance.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">"Let's say I
don't really know what lecithin is," says Arcoleo. "I can click on
'lecithin,' and I will get a definition."</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Tap another tab, and
we see a note about whether this product contains ingredients from
genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Hershey's created
this system, called SmartLabel, but other companies are now adopting it, too.
Very soon, Arcoleo says, there will be tens of thousands of products on
supermarket shelves with SmartLabel codes.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Charlie Arnot, the
food industry consultant, thinks that some companies may, in fact, be willing
to do this. Consumers are forcing them to do it.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">"Consumers are
interested in the good, the bad and the ugly," he says. They are saying,
"Give me the information, treat me like an adult, and allow me to make
an informed choice."</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif";">Arnot is telling big
food companies that "transparency builds trust," and advising them
to post on their websites documents that may contain bad news, such as
outside audits of their food safety procedures.</span></em><br />
<br />
But outside audits and inspections can suck; more of a corporate gladhanding
to move product out the door.<br />
<br />
There are good companies and there are bad companies: Hard to tell the
difference when the same soundbites are manufactured in a factory somewhere
that has probably been outsourced.<br />
<br />
The best farmers, processors, retailers and restaurants should brag about
their superior food safety and whatever technology they use to make safe,
wholesome food.<br />
<br />
Brag about it; embrace it, make it your own. </span></span><span style="color: #373737; font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><span style="color: #073763;">
