Had the restaurant handled their food properly it would have been impossible for the meat to taint the melon because the two would have never come in contact. The only way for the melon to become tainted with the strain of e. coli infecting the meat was for uncooked meat to touch (and more than touch when you look at it realistically) the melon. Proper food handling would have prevented this whole thing.

I don't agree with the meat producer having liability. As long as they follow federal guidelines for testing and do not release meat that tests bad I think they should be protected. I also think the FDA and USDA need to mandate 100% testing of all meats, but that's not what they currently mandate.
