Little birds, little poops, little food safety risk

80% Informative
Study: Smaller poops from smaller birds carry very low risk of foodborne pathogens.
E. coli survived longer on lettuce itself than on soil or plastic mulch, study finds.
90% of birds observed on the farms were small and tended to poop mostly on soil, where pathogens perish quickly.
Study opens up new strategies for growers to better balance conservation and food-safety risks.
The study was funded through the Center for Produce Safety , the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture .
The study's additional coauthors are Jeffery McGarvey and SangIn Lee at the USDA Agricultural Research Service , Olivia Smith at Michigan State University , Elissa Olimpi at Conservation Science Partners.
