An E. coli scare in schools today ! E. coli may have been served in schools ! E. coli were collected from products in New York & Texas where they have found E. coli were in the homes of two ill people. many company's estimated that about 3 million pounds may still be in the market place and about 300,000 pounds may have been in the food that's served in school. why serve us food with E. coli in it? many students eat lunch at school. we can get sick ! I think instead of warning us do something about it. they should check our food and not serve anything with E. coli ! Band E. coli now !!

Megan,
ReplyDeleteYour viewpoint is obvious and you offer good evidence to support it. What specifically do you think should be done about this issue? What happens when a company is caught selling a product containing E. Coli?

I think it all falls back on "They don't care". Basically, they are doing what they do best and not caring about the consumers health but more about money on the issue. Why should they care if we get sick? As long as money is coming their way, that's all that should matter correct?
ReplyDelete"A New York snack food maker now says it is recalling more than 10 million pounds of frozen pizza, mozzarella bites, Philly cheese steaks and other products linked to a rare and potentially dangerous outbreak of E. coli poisoning. Three million pounds of the products remain in the marketplace, a company spokesman said Friday."

DeleteI read something about that. How school are getting sick because of what is going into their lunches. In the New York Times they explain that leafy products that cause about 1,451 people had died because of the leaf being contamined.That was sent to the school that probably got them sick and could have their death.

ReplyDeleteUgh, Good thing I don't eat school lunch ! :) No, But seriously , that some serious stuff. Now that they are finding E.Coli in school food this can cause a bad reputation for the school. I'm sure no parent wants to hear this and think about their child coming home sick with the virus when school is supposed to be a potentially "safe haven".
ReplyDeleteHere is an article which talks about E.coli found in Pizza and the products being recalled.
