Very sound rich informative piece tracking raw milk from the dairy through the many steps on it's way to becoming cheese, with a study of how technology and staff best practices are employed to exclude dangerous bacterial contaminants like EColi.
A secondary theme is the devasting economic consequences for small food producers ultimately found responsible for poisonings or illness, and how those producers guard against such incidents, in their own best econonomic interest.

Review of Food Technicians Battling EColi
Great topical piece for the ongoing concern.
Wonderful sound throughout the story. Nice, patient job of taking the milk through the step-by-step process of transformation to cheese. The repeat emphasis on handwashing makes it clear how easy it could be for bad bacteria to get through.
This would be a great evergreen piece to set up a discussion about what's going on right now.
