Special Exercises
There are at least six lethal forms of E. coli that can end up in our meat or on our produce that are so virulent, they hospitalize people and even kill them. However, in the U.S. only one, E. coli 0157:H7, is officially termed an adulterant, which means any ground beef that tests positive for it cannot be sold for human consumption. There are no requirements for companies to test for the other lethal strains, and it is not illegal for them to be present in food.
Match each action with what it illustrates. You may use a response once, more than once, or not at all.

Premises:
The American Meat Institute says more research is needed to see how common the Big 6 are before they are outlawed.
The USDA protects the meat supply, the FDA protects all the other foods.
The National Cattleman's Beef Association, NCBA, states that if a company wants to test or not, it should be its own decision since they are not legally required to test.
NCBA represents ranchers and communicates with politicians.
As tests become available some companies are not waiting for a law that requires it.
Costco was the first company to test for the Big 6 without a requirement to test.
