Salad manufacturers have not prospered in eliminating E. coli and other unsafe microorganisms from fresh greens, though they've attempted hard. As we've reported previously, it's a major obstacle to both breeders and the environment. However one scientist thinks he's acting -- with a spinach spa that zaps bad bugs with ultrasound. Ultrasound is nothing even more than sound relocating at a regularity expensive for people to hear.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
