It was announced this morning that over 100 employees of Dole Fresh Vegetables had been confirmed as being tested positive for the virus. They said that 829 employees were tested on Saturday but not all results had been received. The employees have been quarantined at home and the company will continue to stay open. They stated that there was no cases where anyone had gotten the virus from eating salad, etc.

Every time food transmission comes up, the experts say it's not going to happen. We have more ways to worry about. 😷

Wonder how many were showing symptons and wow, 12% infection. Not good.

@Sheila P-Burg Did it say where the facility was? Was it fresh foods or canning foods?

Ahh, once again "the experts say". I am trying to remember exactly the things they have gotten right. If their projections resemble their past record of being so wrong? WOW!

I have my own projections, but I will spare those that decide to read this, and keep it to myself.

Those that decide to worry about every projection put out by what "the experts say"! Fine with me, I do not. Too many wrong and when more are wrong than right?

Count me out!

I stopped buying Dole products when their salad products were all recalled in 2012, 2014 and 2016 for Listeria....Three strikes and Dole is OUT with me as a purchaser.....

@hckynut, what should we count you out of? This thread is simply letting us know about a spread Covid infection at a food company.

Simply put, I take it all about the same as which way the wind is blowing. Seldom interested in or concerned about either.

I think we SHOULD listen to the experts, not you know who.

Why would you not be interested in the health experts? They have the knowledge, to know about this.

@hckynut ....... Then take the advise that is thrown out all the time. Don't read.

This is concerning, but any large factory, or business with a large number of employees will likely have similar statistics, as the country slowly reopens, and people become complacent.🤔

Even if this were in their canned goods processing plants, I'd still eat their mandarin oranges (packed in heavy syrup 👍).

And you'd think by now that at least one "expert" would've reminded the fainthearted of the main route of transmission for this virus.

@Moonlady, I doubt that anyone could contract the virus due to such outbreaks. But I certaintly hope they can get under control for the workers' sake.

Oops, didn't mean to sound like one of those "experts."

I'd be wary of any expert who does NOT change his/her mind when new information comes out.

@Sushismom, so true and potentially dangerous.
