		<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON — As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, it is time to shelve the coats and boots and dust off the grill. USDA&#8217;s Food Safety &#38; Inspection Service  offers a few helpful tips to avoid unwelcome fooborne bacteria at your next cookout. &#8220;When you fire up the grill to cook out this summer, make sure you are extra vigilant in taking the appropriate safe food handling steps to prevent foodborne illness,&#8221; said USDA Undersecretary for Food Safety Dr. Elisabeth Hagen. &#8220;Foods commonly served at cookouts can carry pathogens that can make people sick, especially those most vulnerable to foodborne illness such as young children, the elderly and pregnant women.&#8221; FSIS provides summer and grilling food safety resources on its website under the heading &#8220;Grill It Safe.&#8221; The webpage contains fact sheets, videos and podcasts about safe handling and preparation of food during warmer months. Popular outdoor dining items, including prepared salads, chicken, hamburgers or hotdogs, are at risk of contamination with foodborne bacteria. FSIS reminds summer hosts and cooks that following four basic food safety steps — clean, separate, cook and chill — during all cooking practices can help reduce foodborne illness. Remain vigilant this cookout season to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Associated Press RAEFORD, N.C. — House of Raeford Farms has set the closing date for a turkey plant in Hoke County. The company said the plant in Raeford will close by July 27, putting about 1,060 people out of work. The company had said in March it would close the plant later this year. House of Raeford is also closing its turkey hatchery in Rose Hill and ending its relationship with about 140 turkey farmers in eastern North Carolina. Company spokesman Dave Witter said severance packages are being offered to those who stay until the plant closes. The company said in March that higher corn prices, falling turkey prices and flat turkey consumption in recent years have made the business unprofitable. The company said it will focus on chicken products, which account for more than 90 percent of its sales. The slaughterhouse is the largest employer in Raeford. Raeford City Manager Mike Wood said in March that the part of House of Raeford&#8217;s operations that will close represents about 35 percent of the county&#8217;s water and sewer revenue — about $1 million a year. The company still will employ more than 2,000 people in North Carolina after the closings, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WOOSTER, Ohio — Patented technology developed at Ohio State University&#8217;s Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) has led to the creation of a startup company for the production of diagnostic tools and vaccines to combat poultry and livestock diseases. LARAD Inc. is the result of Ohio State research conducted by Daral Jackwood, a professor in OARDC&#8217;s Food Animal Health Research Program. OARDC is the research arm of Ohio State&#8217;s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. &#8220;LARAD Inc. is also the first OARDC spinout into the BioHio Research Park,&#8221; said Shauna R. Brummet, president and CEO of BioHio, an agbioscience technology park based on OARDC&#8217;s Wooster campus. &#8220;We are very excited to work with Dr. Jackwood in the startup of his company providing support and guidance at this early stage,&#8221; Brummet said. &#8220;This is an example of the important technology being developed at OARDC that can be moved into a locally based startup company, which will create high-paying jobs in our region.&#8221; According to Jackwood, the company is using molecular biology methods to develop virus-like-particle (VLP) technology for new vaccines and diagnostics that will benefit the food-animal industry and safeguard the food-production system. &#8220;These are cutting-edge products that will [...]]]></description>
