Here is the link to a report from the Salinas Californian that talks about the Monday's state senate hearing on foodborne illness.

An excerpt:

The outbreak prompted the leafy green industry to institute a voluntary marketing agreement under the supervision of the state Department of Food and Agriculture that requires participating handlers to accept products only from farmers following new growing standards.Sen. Den Florez, D-Shafter, who chaired the hearing Monday, also has introduced legislation calling for state health officials to play a role in state inspection and oversight of the leafy green industry.“We are trying to offer a parallel process through regulation,’’ Florez said, “because we are skeptical.’’
