In recent years I have noticed the increased frequency of incidents and reports of contaminated food items or food-borne illness outbreaks. Just in the last 18 to 24 months or so I can remember a few of them off the top of my head, such as green onions contaminated with E Coli at Taco Bell’s across the northeast, salmonella tainted tomatoes from Florida and Mexico, spinach recalled due to E Coli, baby formula contaminated with melamine from China, and now today I read about dioxins found in pigs in Ireland and being culled from the food supply chain.
