The FDA quietly investigated a deadly E. coli outbreak from lettuce sickening 89 last Nov but never alerted the public or named the source, citing trade secrets. Major questions about food safety transparency emerge.

Ultraviolet light can penetrate clear glass bottles (PDF) and HDPE (PDF) plastic bottles.
