Leafy Greens: The Unsuspecting Culprit in Food Poisoning Should be Washed and Kept Cold!
Since childhood, most people have held the belief, often repeated, that leafy greens (aka “salads”) are the healthiest choice in food. And while there is a great deal of truth to this, from a certain point of view, leafy greens are also a common conduit for food borne illness pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter, Listeria, certain viruses like hepatitis A, and parasites , like Cyclospora. But recent research has also noted that the propensity to contain or carry such pathogens is not equal among the common leafy greens. In fact, one particular leafy green, romaine lettuce, seems to have been at the heart of a number of significant e. coli outbreaks in recent years while a number of its cousins had had a “clean” record during the same time-frame.
Unfortunately, this is not even a chance. In fact, in a recent study out of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, researcher Mangyi Dong discussed the roll of leafy greens in the spread of e. coli and noted some significant differences. First off, there is the simple fact that leafy greens like kale (or other brassica vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage), are much less likely to carry e. coli

Minimum Temperature Rise Can Cut Frozen Food Emissions
“Frozen food standards have not been updated in almost a century, and they are long overdue for revision.”
– Maha AlQattan
Group chief sustainability officer
DP World
Most frozen food is transported and stored at -18°C (0°F), a standard that was set 93 years ago and has not changed since. Research now suggests that moving to -15°C (5°F) could make a significant environmental impact with no compromise on food safety or quality.
The experts, from the Paris-based International Institute of Refrigeration, the University of Birmingham, and London South Bank University, among others, found that the small change could:
- Save 17.7 million metric tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent annual emissions of 3.8 million cars annually;
- Create energy savings of around 25 terawatt-hours (TW/h), equivalent to 8.63% of the United Kingdom’s annual energy consumption; and
- Cut costs in the supply chain by at least 5% and in some areas by up to 12%.
The research was supported by the leading global logistics firm and principal partner in COP28, DP World, which has set up an industry-wide coalition to explore the feasibility of this change, named Join the Move to -15°C. This coalition aims to

Certified organic 2024 – Changes ahead
CHICAGO — Much has changed in the US organic food and beverage sector since the US Department of Agriculture National Organic Program (NOP) was established in 2000. And 2024 will bring more changes, everything from stricter regulations to a growing demand for imports.
To ensure organic remains a reliable certification for shoppers, NOP issued its Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) rule that went into effect on March 20, 2023. Operations and certifiers must fully comply with the rule by March 19, 2024.
The SOE closes loopholes that have enabled ingredients that do not meet NOP standards to enter the organic supply chain, leading to fraud. Key updates include requiring certification of more of the businesses at critical links in organic supply chains.
Previously, only operations involved in producing, processing, packaging and labeling organic products required certification. The SOE requires buyers, sellers, brokers and traders to be certified.
“The USDA estimated 4,000 to 5,000 companies would need new certification,” said Nate Ensrud, vice president – US technical services, certification and food safety solutions, FoodChain ID, Fairfield, Iowa. “Many organizations think they are exempt when they are not. It’s the middle layer of the supply chain that is of primary concern.
“Over the
