Food Safety Lawyer Renews Call for Cleaner Leafy Greens

Original: Put Me Out of the Leafy Green Business, Please. The Beef Industry Did It After I Asked in 2002. I Asked the Lettuce Industry in March 2006, and Six Months Later Came Spinach. Twenty Years, Forty E. coli Outbreaks and 12,883 Cyclospora Cases Later, Here Is

Food safety attorney Bill Marler, whose 2002 appeal to the beef industry was followed by major reforms, says he asked the lettuce industry for similar action in March 2006, months before the deadly spinach E. coli outbreak. Two decades on, he counts forty E. coli outbreaks and nearly 12,883 Cyclospora cases linked to leafy greens, and is renewing his plea for the industry to clean up its supply chain.

Why now: Ongoing leafy green food safety outbreaks keep his long-running campaign for industry reform relevant.
