noooo, I did not know that. I only know that the last Ecoli outbreak we had in the usa that also involved our school system food in some regions, was caused from Strawberries that were imported from Mexico....
No mention or followup by the news on how the fruit got infected with the ecoli bacteria....?
I haven't researched to find any article to show that that is the practice in Mexico, that's just based on memory from the strawberry-ecoli incident, but know from first-hand experience in Germany. Septic trucks that suck the sewage out of septic tanks are then contracted to spray the refuse on certain crop-bearing fields. Gross, huh?
Here you go Care. A short Dogpile search:
