An outbreak that we didn't see coming:
Federal inspectors look at every processing plant in the country for chicken, but they sometimes fail to identify salmonella. In this article on Frontline, they identified the 5 cases that might explain why they fail to catch the pathogen. There is a level of salmonella that is allowed to be in the Turkey, after all these cases the level has been lowered to 13.5%. i also didn't know that there might only be one bird tested in each plant a day. I feel that it's better safe then sorry with this kind of stuff especially since more then a few people died in these cases. I also learned that chicken parts are not subject to salmonella testing, which means it could have an extreme amount in it and not be tested. I would like to read more about how salmonella affects the chicken and why any is allowed at all.

Scavenger Hunt

Our team of 3 (myself, Eileen and Emily) worked together to explore our campus to find different business related items. Both Emily and Eileen helped bring new ideas to each thing that we had to find. I made the connection that almost everything is advertising, from logos to dropped cups and cans, to recycling bins and trash dumpsters.
