History

Historical Context

In 1993 the Jack in the Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak sickened nearly 700 people and killed four children, spurring USDA’s Pathogen Reduction and HACCP rules and making the pathogen reportable. The current recall of Hampton Grocers’ Lacnola Lactation Granola after a Salmonella-positive moringa batch highlights the same supply-chain gaps, prompting the FDA to tighten traceability requirements.
