What is unjust about the actions taken against Morningland and Estrella is that there has not been an adequate level of proof shown to establish that the bacteria found in the cheese along with the environment are truly harmful to human health. There are many subtypes of L. mono (and Staph. aureus); as mentioned above, several of these subtypes have not been discovered to cause illness in humans. The agencies have the capability to figure out the subtype of a pathogen found and whether that particular subtype is on record as having caused human illness; if the subtype has not, then there's no adulteration and no need to destroy the product.
