"Outbreaks of food-borne illness are on the rise in U.S. schools--increasing by 10 percent a year in the 1990s--even as recent federal health data show a significant decrease in food poisoning in the general population from dangerous bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella." (EDUCATION WEEK) The author addresses tainted food in school cafeterias citing "poor hygiene in processing plants, improper storage and heating of food in school kitchens and even the unwashed hands of students," in addition to contamination prior to the schools' receipt of the food, as reasons for this increase.
