IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- "We're used to the phrase 'One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch,'" states FiSpace.net editor Kurt Divich. "Of late, the axiom is more accurately applied to tomatoes."
"The recent Salmonella St. Paul scare, which took tomatoes out of stores and restaurants after more than 1,300 infections in 43 states and Canada, is reported to have cost tomato growers in excess of $100 million in losses. As concern spread, restaurants began posting signs that they were either using tomatoes not involved in the recall or that they weren't using tomatoes at all. It seemed unsafe to eat any tomato with new aspects and concerns arising via the media nearly every day," said Divich, "and the biggest news was yet to come. There never was a bad tomato."
"A new technology being deployed by Texas-based Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ORGC), might just be the answer," Divich added. "With the company's implementation of the GS1 System for its produce it can improve traceability and consumer safety, enabling growers and the government to be able to quickly cite the origin of a tomato in question, allowing for the expeditious inspection and eliminating unnecessary suspects in the search."
