However, fresh (soft, unaged) cheeses made from raw milk have been more frequently associated with foodbome illness than any other type of cheese.[1] Queso fresco is a popular fresh cheese in Latin America that is traditionally made with raw milk.[2] In 1997, raw milk queso fresco was implicated as the source of a major outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium in Yakima County, Washington.[3] In response to the outbreak, we developed an intervention that included development of a recipe for pasteurized milk queso fresco and safe cheese workshops conducted by Hispanic grandmothers. The effectiveness of using grandmothers (Abuelas) as educators was documented in the Healthy Kitchen project from Colorado State University.[4]

With an area two-and-one-half times larger than the United States and a population nearly twice that of the United States, Latin America is a region of great significance. Its historical development has been influenced by indigenous cultures, European colonialism, and the tension between state sovereignty and foreign influence. While this development has produced the diverse cultures of Latin America, it also contributes to a shared identity. The Latin American Studies Minor promotes the study of Latin America as a significant world region of intrinsic interest - its cultures, history, literature, and politics. The program also offers students the opportunity to examine Latin America’s relationship with the United States. Latin America is one of the United States’ most vigorous export markets, and the expansion of regional trade agreements illustrates the increasing interconnectedness of the Americas. The Minor offers students the opportunity to study trade and other aspects of U.S.-Latin American relations such as economic aid, immigration, and the environment. to generate student interest in Latin America.

    Extractions: Publications Throughout the world marketing has become more consumer oriented and competitive. Reasons include changing lifestyles and incomes; growing awareness of health issues; demand for products lower in sodium, fat, cholesterol; and concerns about food labeling. Cultural factors have altered the patterns of doing business overseas. Exporting to foreign countries requires not only legal, financial, and marketing information, but also knowledge of the customs in the recipient country. Styles of doing business overseas vary to a great extent from country to country. Conducting business can be a complicated activity between individuals or groups from the same nation; it is even more complicated across cultures. Lack of understanding of cultural variables can prevent business firms from accomplishing their objectives.

    Extractions: Introduction A pathfinder is a tool for finding the way. It is not meant to be a comprehensive, all-inclusive bibliography, but instead a starting point for students with little idea where to begin research. The ideal pathfinder is one that leads to other places of learning and discovery. For those who seek to learn more about the important region of Latin America (here used to refer to all lands south of the United States), this pathfinder offers fundamental resources to begin investigation. Upon consulting these works one will have a much better grasp of the subject matter and ideas about where to proceed next. Back to the top Browsing Areas The Library of Congress classifies Latin American resources in a couple of general areas. It is useful to know these call numbers in order to browse works that may be of great help in research. Some other useful materials are located in other places based upon the predominant subject content, so don't rely solely on these areas but instead think broadly. For example, there are books about education or economics that have substantial information relevant to Latin America but they located in the areas for their respective disciplines instead of the general area for Latin America. Think interdisciplinary and look around in order to achieve the most effective results in your research.
