Recent e-coli outbreaks are transforming safety catches

Seems like we've seen several higher-profile e-coli bacteria outbreaks recently -- the first with bagged fresh spinach (a really good food to eat) and the second with prepared beef.

All things considered, the rate of this bacteria's population in the masses is really pretty low, as there are so many safeguards in place in order to protect the public these days.

With all the food production that goes on in this country, I was assuming that the mechanisms that catch contaminants were pretty well advanced. this is true, and they are getting better all the time. In fact, the recent outbreaks are most likely helping to advance detection methods above and beyond where they already are.
