Plan targets E. coli outbreaks

State Sen. Dean Florez plans to introduce a bill Feb. 1 that calls for a system to track produce from fields to store shelves and forces growers to further protect crops from contaminated water and stray animals that can spread bacteria.

Wouldn't it be nice to eat spinach or lettuce without fear? It's time produce was regulated and inspected for our safety.
