Ron Simon, a world-renowned food safety lawyer who has represented thousands of E. coli and Salmonella victims in the last 20 years, today issued the following statement: “The very fact that a farm fails to use a proven kill-step, like pasteurization, when working with livestock, is worrisome enough. In this case, much of the farm, including sensitive areas, were replete with E. coli O157:H7, the most notable pathogen in these types of outbreaks, and one the owners have admitted to not testing for.”
