A New Risk Assessment Model Reveals Critical Points to Reduce Human Health Burden from ESBL-Producing E. coli Fresh lettuce is a dietary staple valued for its nutritional benefits, but recent research highlights an often-overlooked food safety concern: contamination with extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli—antibiotic-resistant bacteria that pose significant public health risks. A comprehensive new study published in Science in One Health develops an integrated quantit
Trio of USDA grants will help WSU scientist make food safer, reduce waste (opens the original)

Drought, Input Costs, & Heifers on Feed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first four months of 2026 have not fallen short of keeping things interesting, for lack of a better term, in the cattle industry. Despite rising cattle prices, hesitancy to rebuild is growing as severe drought conditions persist, input costs increase, and uncertainty grows as to if this market will turn sooner rather than later. Cattle prices are expected to remain strong due to tight supplies and strong consumer demand, making for another year of favorable returns for producers. However, ch
