Taylor Farms has rewritten its cyclospora statement four times in sixteen days

A company's public statements during an outbreak have changed significantly over 16 days, omitting key information and contradicting previous claims. The company's testing methods and hazard analysis are being questioned, with critics arguing that the company's negative test results do not prove the product was clean.

C++ float-to-int conversion can be undefined behavior

Converting a float to an int in C++ is undefined behavior when the value cannot fit into the destination type, even with -Wall and -Wextra. The correct fix is to bounds check before casting, as relying on undefined behavior can lead to different results on different hardware.
