Tracing For The Win
So much for SanGar Produce & Processing Company's objections to state testing procedures that detected Listeria monocytogenes in its San Antonio plant. The FDA has not only confirmed the presence of L. monocytogenes at the plant it has also confirmed that the strain found is identical to that which sicked many and killed four already immune compromised individuals.
This is what the investigation of foodborne outbreaks will produce increasingly from now on - swift and irrefutable tracing back to their origin.
