Federal investigators have concluded that poor sanitation and poor handling practices at a cantaloupe packing facility in Colorado were likely to blame for the Listeria outbreak that has killed 25 people and sickened 123 more. As KPR's Bryan Thompson explains, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning letter to the producer, Jensen Farms.
Bryan Thompson has been KPR's Health Reporter since 2000. He's a lifelong Kansan, and a graduate of Wichita State University. He's been involved in radio news longer than he'd care to admit, serving as news director at stations in El Dorado, Liberal, and Salina before joining KPR. He and his wife, Cindy, are the parents of six outstanding children--one of whom now looks down on them from above. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys music and sports.
