(sorry for the autoplay video, I didn't add any video to the post)

At least 104 cases of E. coli infections were linked to the outbreak, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including 34 hospitalizations and one death.

...

FDA inspectors said they discovered "numerous equipment with apparent biofilm and large amounts of food debris" around the Taylor Farms facility in Colorado Springs, even after workers had supposedly completed their required cleaning procedures.

The FDA said that Taylor Farms quality control officials had signed off on cleaning at the facility as passing, even when agency inspectors said they could still see "several food contact surfaces that were not visually clean and should have been marked as a 'Fail'."

Food debris building up on the company's equipment was so bad that it was leading to cross-contamination, the FDA's inspectors worried. A company that had been buying green peppers from Taylor Farms complained that onions had found their way into their ready-to-eat product.

...

"Production employees handling RTE produce and food contact surfaces were not observed using any of the handwashing sinks in the facility," the FDA's inspectors wrote.

...

The FDA's inspectors also discovered Taylor Farms was frequently skipping the drying step after dunking tools into a solution of sanitizing chemicals, which inspectors feared was resulting in the solution being "directly applied" to ready-to-eat produce.

You may want to add a /s to the end before google AI picks it up and shows it to millions of people who won’t apply critical thinking to it.

I’m half kidding.
