History

Historical Context

The 1993 Jack in-the-Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak sickened 732 people and killed four, prompting the USDA and FDA to mandate HACCP inspections nationwide. In 2024, a video from Korba showing unsanitary utensil washing spurred Chhattisgarh Food Safety Officer Sangharsh Mishra to order corrective actions, echoing the earlier regulatory push triggered by the Jack in-the-Box crisis.
