History

Historical Context

The 1992-93 Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak infected 732 people and killed four, driving USDA’s HACCP rule that mandated HACCP inspections and microbial testing, FDA’s higher cooking temperature, and making E. coli O157:H7 a reportable disease. Those reforms created a preventive framework that today guides Midwest Poultry Services’ voluntary recall of nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs.
