but if there were trace amounts of the six strains of e. coli it will cause a problem. this may not lead to more food recalls. what they're really trying to do is try to get to the this process before the food ever gets out there. this is talking about testing at the facilities. if they find these strains of bacteria, not allowing the food to ever get into the food supply. so, that could potentially be a good thing. now, one thing i'll point out is that we talked a lot about food safety issues. there's been a food safety modernization act which was passed just at the end of last year where they talk about the fact that the usda, the fda now has the power to issue recalls. in the past, they did not. as you may know, they recommended recalls, but they didn't actually have the authority to do the recall to mandate it themselves and they also beefed up inspections at these plants to try and prevent, you know, the potentially problematic bacteria from ever getting into the supply. not everyone thinks it is a good idea. the meat industry saying these

listeria is more deadly than other well known pathogens like salmonella and e. coli. one weapon against it -- wash your fruit. tonight the cdc says colorado cantaloupes have been pulled off the grocery store shelves, but the number who could get sick could still rise. miguel almaguer, nbc news, los angeles. >> we mentioned this earlier. tyson foods has recalled more than 131,000 pounds of fresh ground beef after an e. coli outbreak in ohio. the affected products include kroger brand and butcher's brand ground beef with a use or freeze-by date of september 12th, which means most of it has probably already been consumed. tyson urged customers to check their freezer and return any of the affected products that might still be around. >>> and there is new information tonight about the risk of stroke. turns out a blood pressure reading that's just above the normal range could still point to a higher risk. our report on this tonight from our chief science correspondent robert bazell. >> reporter: emily flores had high blood pressure. she got it down but her doctor said not l

the recall came after an ohio family fell ill and beef in the home tested positive for the e. coli bacteria. the beef was packed on august 23. it was sold under the kroger and butcher's brands and sold as generic ground beef. the labels also have the code 245d and a "best before" date of september 12. >> tom: meanwhile, the death toll continues climbing in the deadliest food outbreak in a decade. as many as 16 people have died from a listeria outbreak traced to cantaloupes grown in colorado. the centers for disease control says that so far 72 people have gotten sick. but the illness is hard to trace because it has a long incubation period. it can take up to two weeks to show up after eating the tainted food. >> susie: americans are paying more-- a lot more-- for health insurance coverage. rising health care costs and insurer profits are to blame, according to a study released today. annual premiums for family coverage rose 9% this year. they surpassed $15,000 for the first time ever, according to the kaiser family foundation. overall, the cost of family coverage has almost doubled

again, food that has these additional strains of e. coli.g to be for now. you know, talking about food and food safety, something people are paying attention to is listeria, as well. different than e. coli but potentially deadly bacteria. 16 people have become sick. they've been able to trace this particular bacteria back to the rocky ford region in colorado and in cantaloupes specifically. a fascinating process the way they do this inspection, unravel the mystery for where this food came. but for now i think they've got a handle on it, listeria, 16 people in colorado and a few ajointing states well. they're going to tell people to keep in mind if you have a weakened immune system, if you're a pregnant woman, you're more at risk for developing serious problems here. but also the basic supply, clean your produce, clean your hands obviously, make sure to take the skin off the cantaloupe before you eat it. that's where bacteria tend to reside. again, potentially good news in terms of keeping our food safe from e. coli. back to you. >> thank you

new steps to prevent e. coli. >> we know about e. coli but several different strains of e. coli. what they're talking about now is trying to test for the other sort of minor strains and if they come back positive, keep those foods from ever getting into the food supply. in the past, it was thought, look, it's trace amounts and not going to have a significant amount, but the attitude, kyra, i think is changing. as much as we talked about food outbreaks. starting to see things change. the fda has the authority to issue recalls. in the past they could recommend recalls and now they can enforce it. inspecting food before it gets into the food supply. this is, a lot of people say, a long-time coming but other people say, look, you inspect more food and it adds more costs and those costs passed down to the consumer and we're not sure of the health benefit we're getting. for now, you're definitely seeing a trend towards more inspections and more safety overall. >> it's not a bad thing. all right, dr. sanjay gupta, thanks. >>> coming up, less intrusive airport screening for kids. fewer p

we identified a very serious e. coli infection in hazel nuts. a very short time so it infected very few people. so our ability to track this is extremely important. one of the big challenges that we face, though, is that over the past two years there has been a reduction in budgets for state and local health agencies and because of that budget reduction, there are 44,000 fewer people working at state and local health departments than they were two years ago. because of that, it can take more time to identify an outbreak. the state of colorado did a terrific job in this case. they did more intensive identification and tracking of outbreaks and that's one of reasons that it was found more quickly. >> right. and i think -- but, as you know, the headline that people are hearing is that this is the deadliest outbreak in more than a decade. is there anything else that can be done? once it's contaminated and before it gets to people's tables and refrigerators, can something be done with the bacteria, something to make it safer with regard to cantaloupe
