Education Week: Lawmaker Wants Probe of E. Coli and School Lunches:
"The chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee wants an investigation into the risk of deadly E. coli getting into school lunches.
Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., is worried about a recent outbreak that killed at least two people and sickened about two dozen others in 11 states.
The E. coli outbreak was linked to ground beef produced by Fairbank Farms of Ashville, N.Y.
No schools were involved in the outbreak. But Miller said he's worried that tainted food might be purchased for school meal programs."
