摘要：Each year Americans experience
16,000 to 48,000 cases of foodborne
illness from fruit and
vegetable juices, according to Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
estimates. Increasing public concern
and recent outbreaks from bacteria
such as E. coli O157:H7 have led to
new regulations designed to reduce
the risk of juice contamination.
In October 1996, at least 66 people
in the Western United States and
Canada became ill and a 16-monthold
girl died after drinking unpasteurized
apple juice contaminated
with E. coli O157:H7. The company
that produced the juice pleaded
guilty to violating Federal food
safety laws and will pay a record
$1.5 million fine.
