How do you qualify that this is a "scare story"? People quite literally died from eating Jack in the Box.
You don't think that Odwalla refusing to do end-testing because it would create subpoena-able data goes a shade beyond corporate cost cutting?
He doesn't say anything like what you're suggesting, unless you consider
"From a safety standpoint, I don’t necessarily think that we’re the safest food system in the world, but neither do I think that we’re the worst food safety system in the world. We do have a fairly amazing ability to surveil foodborne illnesses."
or
"In 22 years of doing this, I’ve obviously seen things that are chilling. But I’ve also seen some great progress."
or
"Most of the work we did was E. coli cases linked to hamburgers, and those are now almost nonexistent, because the beef industry and the government finally figured out that it was a really bad idea to poison people, and that it was expensive, and they created systems that allowed to lower the level of E. coli in hamburger meat. Now there are fewer people getting sick, and Bill Marler isn’t making as much money, which is a great thing."
to be sky-is-falling fear-mongering.
I can't tell if you just didn't read the article, or you're angry about a completely different article.
- DiabloD3 11y agoI read the article. I remember both Jack in the Box and Odwalla in the news. The problem is, I won't do business with either company because they are generally garbage products. Why isn't he raising the alarm about that? Instead, it is about extremely rare outbreaks that only occurred because of mishandling the product to pad someone's pocket. Yes, people died. What about all the people who continue to die because they eat these products, and it isn't because of E Coli? Odwalla is full of sugar, far more than what their fancy label and branding suggests, and Jack in the Box is just nasty greasy fast food. So yes, this article really is just fear mongering.
