K-State and West Texas A&M researchers collaborated on a study of the effects of a **novel vaccine technology** to make beef safer.
Despite millions of dollars spent on food safety research over the last 10 years, ground beef recalls due to **E. coli O157:H7** were higher in 2007 than in 2006, according to researchers from Kansas State University and West Texas A&M University.
