Farmers warned to be locust wary: USDA and state food inspectors looking for bad apples may have to act more aggressively. The FDA, for instance, is investigating three California almond growers whose almonds got contaminated with a potentially fatal type of bacterium that has been linked to illnesses including liver failure, heart disease and kidney disease. The FDA recently found contamination in California almonds.
Farmers' worst fears have been confirmed: In 2012, some almond grower complained to the federal government's Agricultural Risk Assessment program (ARAP) that his plants had received high levgospelhitzels of 더킹카지노the fungus. He found eight cases of illness, two of which involved fatal kidney disease.
That outbreak of kidney disease, which was confirmed last year with testing done at California's state labs, is unusual because it shows that almonds that are shipped to retail outlets were not adequately processed as required by US law.
In May, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a report in response to last year's outbreak of sickened almonds and identified five separate food safety failures, most of them related to California almond growers, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) said in a statement.
A study published this year by the same study found that the US, as a whole, has a highergospelhitz risk for developing foodborne illness outbreaks like this one. But the same study found the likelihood of such outbreaks was higher in rural areas and in areas with agricultural-related industries that produce food that's processed or stored in plastic containers.
In its report, the federal agency says one reason why California's almond growers were exposed to the deadly mold, Salmonella typhi, was because they did not properly store or process their harvested almonds.
The report also found that California's state dairy operations were guilty of poor protection of milk from the mold after officials began requiring that their milk be packaged in a similar manner to almond-growing dairy farms. However, while their state-regulated farms contained less salmonella than state-regulated dairy farms, there were significant differences in those differences, the investigators wrote.
One of these differences they identified was the use of an air cleaner for the air filters inside the almond-growing machines.
Almond growers used to be able to clean the air filters by simply washing them off with water, according to a report by the American Drought Mitigation Initiative (ADMI). This is no longer possible. Now, farmers have to use a solution called the "smile scrub", an industrial cleaning agent that can damage metal and rubber component
