History

Historical Context

The 1992-93 Jack in-the-Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak killed four children and sickened 732 people, prompting the USDA to adopt the Pathogen Reduction and HACCP rule that made the bacterium a reportable adulterant in ground beef. Those reforms underpin today’s cross-border inspections, and the 2024 recall of 29,628 pounds of Argentine beef by Corte Argentino USA LLC echoes the same safety gaps the 1993 crisis exposed.
