Most of these outbreaks come from plant farms downstream from hi-densitiy animal farms. The animal farms release fecal matter into the water system, and that in turn finds its way into the fields of the fruit/vegetable farmers.
They both are at fault. The high density animal farms release more effluent than natural systems can successfully breakdown, in a reasonable amount of time, and the massive "monoculture" fruit/vegetable farmers use the tainted water on their fields, and then harvest them too quickly.
If you want to avoid problems like these just spen a little extra time and money and shop at your local farmers market, and start a garden of your own. Farmers markets lose out to grocery stores on price, but give the grocers a massive "Smack Down" on quality. Who was it that said You should know the person that grew your food? I can gaurantee that if you know the name of the person that grew what you are eating, that food will be clean, free of toxins, "super-bugs", and will be among the highest quality available.
People say this or that is wrong with Americans. The first thing wrong with Americans is that we are wiling to put up with "Poisonous" food in our grocery stores, and restaurants. Shop local, and these scares will not be an issue. You will spend a little more in terms of time and money, but the rewards are worth it. If you do not believe me, commit to buying all of your fruits and veggies at the local farmers markets (meaning grown in the county usually) this summer.
Then in fall, or winter go back to strictly grocery stores. You won't belive how completely SUB-par the indusrial-ag food they are selling truly is.
