After an outbreak last fall, the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u003ca href=\"http://www.marlerblog.com/files/2013/10/Foster-Poultry-Farms-Est.-6137P.pdf\">threatened\u003c/a> to shut down three of the company's plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, though, the company has \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarms.com/about/press/press_release.asp?press_release_id=184\">reduced\u003c/a> its rates of salmonella contamination dramatically. Some food safety experts are now saying the whole poultry industry should follow this company's example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is also taking the lead in figuring out a food safety mystery: How in the world do tests detect salmonella frequently on cut-up chicken parts but not on whole chicken carcasses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms recently gave me a small peek inside its anti-salmonella campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob O'Connor, a veterinarian who has worked at the company for the past 17 years, drove me to a ranch near the town of Merced, in California's Central Valley. It's an enormous operation, with dozens of long, narrow chicken houses lined up on dry, bare dirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms owns and operates this complex, as it does most of its chicken-raising farms. Other major poultry companies rely on contract farmers, an arrangement that has drawn much \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/20/279040721/the-system-that-supplies-our-chickens-pits-farmer-against-farmer\">criticism\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside one of the houses, thousands of little chicks are walking around on the floor. They're 11 days old, cute and apparently healthy. But O'Connor says there's a lot that you can't see. \"I cannot look at this flock of birds and say to you that these birds have salmonella in their gastrointestinal tract,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in most cases, it's safe to assume that some do. Scientists have tested some flocks of chickens in the U.S. and Europe and found salmonella in anywhere from 7 to 70 percent of all live birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's disturbing, because people eventually will eat them. Fully cooking chicken does kill the bacteria. But if salmonella on raw chicken gets on your cutting board and then contaminates, say, some carrots, it can make you really sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years now, the poultry industry has been struggling to limit the presence of salmonella. These chicken houses, for example, are designed to keep out wildlife, like mice or wild birds, that carry the bacteria. When chickens are slaughtered, the carcasses are washed with antimicrobial solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to USDA regulations, no more than 7.5 percent of the chicken carcasses coming from a chicken plant can test positive for salmonella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms — which turns out millions of pounds of chicken meat every week — usually does much better than that. \"We had 0 percent on most of our carcass sampling\" for the past three or four years, says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's executives thought they were doing really well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg-10-13/\">evidence\u003c/a> that chicken from Foster Farms had caused a wave of salmonella infections. More than 600 people had gotten sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors from the USDA arrived at Foster Farms plants, and this time, they went much farther than the standard safety test. Instead of just testing whole chicken carcasses, they took samples of what most consumers actually buy: the cut-up parts, such as breasts, thighs and wings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they found is now shaking up the whole poultry industry. Their tests showed salmonella on about 25 percent of those cut-up chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://achesongroup.com/about-us/david-acheson/\">David Acheson\u003c/a>, a former associate commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration, says this pattern has been discovered at other poultry companies, too. Whole carcasses are largely free of salmonella, but then the bacteria appear on nearly a quarter of the chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a mystery that the poultry industry is now trying to resolve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened?\" says Acheson. \"Did this bug come in from the environment? Did something contaminate it during the process — the equipment, the workers, something weird like that? Or were we missing it the first time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably we were missing it, Acheson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one theory for how: When those whole carcasses are tested, they've just been chilled to 40 degrees. But in the next stage of processing, when they're cut up into parts, they warm up about 10 degrees. That warmth may release salmonella that was trapped in skin pores of the chilled carcass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any salmonella bacteria are present, the process of cutting up the carcass may spread the microbes around, contaminating lots of chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No matter how the salmonella got there, though, Foster Farms had to figure out a way to get rid of them, because the USDA was threatening to close three of the company's plants. \"We had 72 hours to respond to that, to come up with a plan to control salmonella prevalence on parts,\" says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms brought in outside safety advisers, including Acheson, the former FDA official, who now works as a consultant to food companies. Together, they embarked on a search for the cause of their problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They tested slaughtered chickens, and picked up a clue. Birds that grew up on some farms were much more likely to carry salmonella than birds from other farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_86871\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1594px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/08/foster-farms-3-bf7bccf538b886672c5955969dd9fd5fed056cdd.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/08/foster-farms-3-bf7bccf538b886672c5955969dd9fd5fed056cdd.jpg\" alt=\"This Foster Farms ranch near Merced, Calif., had higher prevalence for salmonella, so the company started testing everywhere to find it.

Some experts thought the bacteria might be invading the chicken houses from outside, carried by mice or wild birds or beetles. So the company tested for salmonella on the dirt near the houses, and in the green, irrigated fields nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those are vineyards, right there,\" O'Connor says, gesturing toward one field. \"Those are almond orchards over there. That's where we went. We literally drag-swabbed through that orchard, through that vineyard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they discovered that the farther they moved from the chicken house, the less salmonella they found. The contamination, in fact, was concentrated in the houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems that once salmonella bacteria got established inside those houses, they stayed there, and infected each new flock of chickens that came to live there. \"So the interventions that we did for broilers were to really focus on cleaning up the houses themselves,\" O'Connor says. \"The whole entire house was soaped down. Then you disinfect it. And then you let it sit. We let these farms sit for about six weeks without any birds in them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms did a lot of other things, too. It made sure that the breeding hens in their hatcheries were salmonella-free, because if those hens have salmonella, their children will, too. The company put more money into vaccination, and spent more time washing equipment in processing plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took months, but it made a big difference. The share of chicken parts that tested positive for salmonella fell from 20 percent to less than 5 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acheson says that's really good. It's setting a new safety standard for the whole industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Seattle attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.billmarler.com/biography\">Bill Marler\u003c/a>, who makes his living suing companies when their food makes people sick, say it's not good enough. \"The standard is, it's still OK to have a pathogen on your product that can sicken and kill your customers. And as long as that's the way it is, we're always going to limp from outbreak to outbreak to outbreak,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marler says the USDA should take the same stand against salmonella that it did against another dangerous microbe: disease-causing E. coli.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the USDA declared these E. coli bacteria illegal adulterants in food, the meat industry complained, but it also found new ways to prevent them from poisoning people. \"It used to be 90 percent of my law firm's revenue, and now it's nearly zero. It's a success story,\" says Marler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eliminating salmonella altogether would be difficult — it's much more common in the environment than disease-causing E. coli.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, the USDA is asking companies to reduce salmonella contamination, but it's not requiring chicken meat to be completely salmonella-free. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Foster Farms has been accused of poisoning its customers with salmonella bacteria.

After an outbreak last fall, the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u003ca href=\"http://www.marlerblog.com/files/2013/10/Foster-Poultry-Farms-Est.-6137P.pdf\">threatened\u003c/a> to shut down three of the company's plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, though, the company has \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarms.com/about/press/press_release.asp?press_release_id=184\">reduced\u003c/a> its rates of salmonella contamination dramatically. Some food safety experts are now saying the whole poultry industry should follow this company's example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is also taking the lead in figuring out a food safety mystery: How in the world do tests detect salmonella frequently on cut-up chicken parts but not on whole chicken carcasses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms recently gave me a small peek inside its anti-salmonella campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob O'Connor, a veterinarian who has worked at the company for the past 17 years, drove me to a ranch near the town of Merced, in California's Central Valley. It's an enormous operation, with dozens of long, narrow chicken houses lined up on dry, bare dirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms owns and operates this complex, as it does most of its chicken-raising farms. Other major poultry companies rely on contract farmers, an arrangement that has drawn much \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/20/279040721/the-system-that-supplies-our-chickens-pits-farmer-against-farmer\">criticism\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside one of the houses, thousands of little chicks are walking around on the floor. They're 11 days old, cute and apparently healthy. But O'Connor says there's a lot that you can't see. \"I cannot look at this flock of birds and say to you that these birds have salmonella in their gastrointestinal tract,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in most cases, it's safe to assume that some do. Scientists have tested some flocks of chickens in the U.S. and Europe and found salmonella in anywhere from 7 to 70 percent of all live birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's disturbing, because people eventually will eat them. Fully cooking chicken does kill the bacteria. But if salmonella on raw chicken gets on your cutting board and then contaminates, say, some carrots, it can make you really sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years now, the poultry industry has been struggling to limit the presence of salmonella. These chicken houses, for example, are designed to keep out wildlife, like mice or wild birds, that carry the bacteria. When chickens are slaughtered, the carcasses are washed with antimicrobial solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to USDA regulations, no more than 7.5 percent of the chicken carcasses coming from a chicken plant can test positive for salmonella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms — which turns out millions of pounds of chicken meat every week — usually does much better than that. \"We had 0 percent on most of our carcass sampling\" for the past three or four years, says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's executives thought they were doing really well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg-10-13/\">evidence\u003c/a> that chicken from Foster Farms had caused a wave of salmonella infections. More than 600 people had gotten sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors from the USDA arrived at Foster Farms plants, and this time, they went much farther than the standard safety test. Instead of just testing whole chicken carcasses, they took samples of what most consumers actually buy: the cut-up parts, such as breasts, thighs and wings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they found is now shaking up the whole poultry industry. Their tests showed salmonella on about 25 percent of those cut-up chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://achesongroup.com/about-us/david-acheson/\">David Acheson\u003c/a>, a former associate commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration, says this pattern has been discovered at other poultry companies, too. Whole carcasses are largely free of salmonella, but then the bacteria appear on nearly a quarter of the chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a mystery that the poultry industry is now trying to resolve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened?\" says Acheson. \"Did this bug come in from the environment? Did something contaminate it during the process — the equipment, the workers, something weird like that? Or were we missing it the first time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably we were missing it, Acheson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one theory for how: When those whole carcasses are tested, they've just been chilled to 40 degrees. But in the next stage of processing, when they're cut up into parts, they warm up about 10 degrees. That warmth may release salmonella that was trapped in skin pores of the chilled carcass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any salmonella bacteria are present, the process of cutting up the carcass may spread the microbes around, contaminating lots of chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No matter how the salmonella got there, though, Foster Farms had to figure out a way to get rid of them, because the USDA was threatening to close three of the company's plants. \"We had 72 hours to respond to that, to come up with a plan to control salmonella prevalence on parts,\" says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms brought in outside safety advisers, including Acheson, the former FDA official, who now works as a consultant to food companies. Together, they embarked on a search for the cause of their problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They tested slaughtered chickens, and picked up a clue. Birds that grew up on some farms were much more likely to carry salmonella than birds from other farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_86871\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1594px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/08/foster-farms-3-bf7bccf538b886672c5955969dd9fd5fed056cdd.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/08/foster-farms-3-bf7bccf538b886672c5955969dd9fd5fed056cdd.jpg\" alt=\"This Foster Farms ranch near Merced, Calif., had higher prevalence for salmonella, so the company started testing everywhere to find it.

No illnesses have been reported, but the Petaluma-based slaughterhouse allegedly defied the law and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/health/article/Slaughterhouse-accused-of-selling-meat-from-cows-5267836.php\" target=\"_blank\">circumvented USDA inspections\u003c/a>, slaughtering and selling meat from diseased cows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sustainable ranchers like David Evans of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/seller/marin-sun-farms\" target=\"_blank\">Marin Sun Farms\u003c/a>, who have made their livelihoods out of raising healthy, pasture-raised animals under humane conditions, were not spared in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2014/recall-013-2014-release\" target=\"_blank\">blanket recall\u003c/a>, even though their meat did not commingle with the diseased animals in question. Marin Sun Farms had to pull more than $100,000 worth of product from the market, which remains unsaleable while the recall is under federal criminal investigation. “There are conversations taking place about potentially revising the recall, but it’s in the hands of the USDA,” David says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill and Nicolette Hahn Niman of \u003ca href=\"http://eatlikeitmatters.com/\" target=\"_blank\">BN Ranch\u003c/a> are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ptreyeslight.com/article/nimans-fight-blanket-recall\" target=\"_blank\">appealing the recall\u003c/a> while 100,000 pounds of their frozen grass-fed beef sits in limbo. The Nimans point out the difference between their carefully handled beef and the diseased commodity meats that Rancho was also processing. Noting the devastation of having to destroy this meat, Nicolette has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/opinion/sunday/support-your-local-slaughterhouse.html?_r=2\" target=\"_blank\">spoken out\u003c/a> in favor of increased transparency and traceability in slaughterhouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to emphasize the distinction between these two separate channels of trade that Rancho was engaged in,” she says, “and that the meat that people have been buying through their CSA, farmers market, and directly from their farms like us is as safe and wholesome as they thought it was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Squeezing Small Ranchers Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the facility has closed its doors, creating a huge gap in the local food system. As the only beef slaughterhouse in the Bay Area, it was a critical resource for local meat producers. The case has brought to light the importance not only of food safety and transparency, but also the availability and accessibility of federally inspected slaughterhouses for small-scale and sustainable ranchers. Without the seal of USDA inspection, ranchers cannot bring their meat to market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s nowhere else to go,” says David. “The next nearest slaughterhouse is in Modesto. This is the gateway to market access. It’s how you bring livestock to market in the Bay Area, and without it, the sheer distance of traveling to the next nearest facility would drive prices up considerably.” For small livestock producers, the increased transportation costs and added stress to their animals could be prohibitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the demand for local, organic, grass-fed, and humanely raised meat has grown in recent years, dwindling access to regional slaughtering and processing facilities has created a bottleneck for bringing such meats to market. From 1980 to 2010, the number of federally inspected slaughterhouses \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/18/AR2010061803509.html\" target=\"_blank\">dropped from 1,627 to 1,051.\u003c/a> Today it is estimated that four corporations process roughly 80% of US beef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating matters, large slaughterhouses often require binding contracts and are reluctant to deal with small, independently owned ranchers. “If you have a small number of animals, there are very few slaughterhouses that want to work with you,” says Nicolette. “Rancho was kind of unusual in that it was quite openly available for small farmers and ranchers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rebuilding Local Infrastructure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79028\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/david_evans_msf.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/david_evans_msf.jpg\" alt=\"David Evans Photo: Marin Sun Farms\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"size-full wp-image-79028\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Evans Photo: Marin Sun Farms\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bringing a silver lining to what has become a devastating situation for local ranchers, Marin Sun Farms has \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2014/02/marin-sun-farms-buys-rancho-feeding-beef.html?page=all\" target=\"_blank\">purchased the closed Petaluma facility\u003c/a> and is now awaiting approval from the USDA, with hopes to begin operation within the next couple months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Careful to distance itself from its predecessor’s unsafe practices, Marin Sun Farms plans a complete overhaul of the facility. “We’re starting over from scratch,” David says. “We’re rewriting all of the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_analysis_and_critical_control_points\" target=\"_blank\">HACCP\u003c/a> (hazard analysis and critical control points) plans and rethinking how everything gets handled through the facility to guarantee that there are checkpoints, traceability, and transparency.” Under USDA rules, each slaughterhouse writes its own HACCP safety plan, which federal inspectors oversee while ensuring that animals are healthy and properly slaughtered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin Sun Farms will also be offering \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinsunfarms.com/pages/faq\" target=\"_blank\">an “à la carte” menu\u003c/a> of custom services for local farmers, from livestock hauling, slaughtering, and cutting to meat packaging, distribution, and sales.

No illnesses have been reported, but the Petaluma-based slaughterhouse allegedly defied the law and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/health/article/Slaughterhouse-accused-of-selling-meat-from-cows-5267836.php\" target=\"_blank\">circumvented USDA inspections\u003c/a>, slaughtering and selling meat from diseased cows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sustainable ranchers like David Evans of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/seller/marin-sun-farms\" target=\"_blank\">Marin Sun Farms\u003c/a>, who have made their livelihoods out of raising healthy, pasture-raised animals under humane conditions, were not spared in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2014/recall-013-2014-release\" target=\"_blank\">blanket recall\u003c/a>, even though their meat did not commingle with the diseased animals in question. Marin Sun Farms had to pull more than $100,000 worth of product from the market, which remains unsaleable while the recall is under federal criminal investigation. “There are conversations taking place about potentially revising the recall, but it’s in the hands of the USDA,” David says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill and Nicolette Hahn Niman of \u003ca href=\"http://eatlikeitmatters.com/\" target=\"_blank\">BN Ranch\u003c/a> are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ptreyeslight.com/article/nimans-fight-blanket-recall\" target=\"_blank\">appealing the recall\u003c/a> while 100,000 pounds of their frozen grass-fed beef sits in limbo. The Nimans point out the difference between their carefully handled beef and the diseased commodity meats that Rancho was also processing. Noting the devastation of having to destroy this meat, Nicolette has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/opinion/sunday/support-your-local-slaughterhouse.html?_r=2\" target=\"_blank\">spoken out\u003c/a> in favor of increased transparency and traceability in slaughterhouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to emphasize the distinction between these two separate channels of trade that Rancho was engaged in,” she says, “and that the meat that people have been buying through their CSA, farmers market, and directly from their farms like us is as safe and wholesome as they thought it was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Squeezing Small Ranchers Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the facility has closed its doors, creating a huge gap in the local food system. As the only beef slaughterhouse in the Bay Area, it was a critical resource for local meat producers. The case has brought to light the importance not only of food safety and transparency, but also the availability and accessibility of federally inspected slaughterhouses for small-scale and sustainable ranchers. Without the seal of USDA inspection, ranchers cannot bring their meat to market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s nowhere else to go,” says David. “The next nearest slaughterhouse is in Modesto. This is the gateway to market access. It’s how you bring livestock to market in the Bay Area, and without it, the sheer distance of traveling to the next nearest facility would drive prices up considerably.” For small livestock producers, the increased transportation costs and added stress to their animals could be prohibitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the demand for local, organic, grass-fed, and humanely raised meat has grown in recent years, dwindling access to regional slaughtering and processing facilities has created a bottleneck for bringing such meats to market. From 1980 to 2010, the number of federally inspected slaughterhouses \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/18/AR2010061803509.html\" target=\"_blank\">dropped from 1,627 to 1,051.\u003c/a> Today it is estimated that four corporations process roughly 80% of US beef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating matters, large slaughterhouses often require binding contracts and are reluctant to deal with small, independently owned ranchers. “If you have a small number of animals, there are very few slaughterhouses that want to work with you,” says Nicolette. “Rancho was kind of unusual in that it was quite openly available for small farmers and ranchers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rebuilding Local Infrastructure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79028\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/david_evans_msf.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/david_evans_msf.jpg\" alt=\"David Evans Photo: Marin Sun Farms\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"size-full wp-image-79028\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Evans Photo: Marin Sun Farms\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bringing a silver lining to what has become a devastating situation for local ranchers, Marin Sun Farms has \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2014/02/marin-sun-farms-buys-rancho-feeding-beef.html?page=all\" target=\"_blank\">purchased the closed Petaluma facility\u003c/a> and is now awaiting approval from the USDA, with hopes to begin operation within the next couple months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Careful to distance itself from its predecessor’s unsafe practices, Marin Sun Farms plans a complete overhaul of the facility. “We’re starting over from scratch,” David says. “We’re rewriting all of the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_analysis_and_critical_control_points\" target=\"_blank\">HACCP\u003c/a> (hazard analysis and critical control points) plans and rethinking how everything gets handled through the facility to guarantee that there are checkpoints, traceability, and transparency.” Under USDA rules, each slaughterhouse writes its own HACCP safety plan, which federal inspectors oversee while ensuring that animals are healthy and properly slaughtered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin Sun Farms will also be offering \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinsunfarms.com/pages/faq\" target=\"_blank\">an “à la carte” menu\u003c/a> of custom services for local farmers, from livestock hauling, slaughtering, and cutting to meat packaging, distribution, and sales.
