„Because of the health risks associated with the consumption of raw milk and raw milk products, FDA requires pasteurization of all dairy products sold across state lines except cheese made from raw milk that has to be aged a minimum of 60 days.1,2 Despite North Carolina laws prohibiting the sale and consumption of raw milk and raw milk products, such practices persist in some communities as a result of consumers' taste preferences and for cultural reasons. The popularity of queso fresco, a Mexican-style fresh soft cheese made from unpasteurized milk, has resulted in several outbreaks in Hispanic communities since the 1980s. In 1985, an outbreak of septic abortions attributed to L. monocytogenes occurred among Hispanics in Los Angeles and Orange counties, California.3 In 1997, three outbreaks of multidrug resistant Salmonella serotype Typhimurium DT104 complex strains occurred in Hispanic communities in northern California and Washington.4,5“

„To realize such a goal, GFH collaborates with regional coffee unions, community leaders, and local and American health care professionals to increase awareness about cancer as well as to improve upon the existing cancer screening infrastructure. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Ben & Jerry’s Homemade joined the organization soon after its creation and the added support allowed for the addition of pathologists to work with the already existing technical assistance, equipment and medical supplies. This allowed the project to offer on-site interpretation of pap smears and biopsies of palpable breast lumps.“

„ “The new FDA laws require foreign suppliers to find a US Agent that will represent them and serve as the communications link to the FDA,” says Griswold. “Every single coffee facility and mill that handles our coffee beans must be registered, and that is a great number of supplier groups from the nine countries where we buy our organic specialty coffees.“
