With the preparation of chitterlings recognized as the point of transfer for the YE bacteria, mothers and grandmothers (traditional preparers of the food and frequent child care givers) were identified as the primary target population of the campaign.
This outbreak of YE was attributed to the preparation of chitterlings (pork intestines or chitlins) which are often served as a traditional holiday food in the Southern United States.
To overcome this barrier, a taste test was conducted which demonstrated that the pre-boiled chitterlings were indistinguishable in taste from those prepared by the traditional method.

Although the infants did not consume chitterlings, health officials suspect their food or formula was contaminated by exposure to yersinia bacteria on hands, utensils, or countertops during food preparation.

Of child-caretakers enrolled in the Fulton County (the county where most of the cases occurred) WIC Program, nearly half reported household preparation of chitterlings for a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Day meal.
During the 1988-89 winter holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving through New Year's Day), an outbreak of gastroenteritis caused by raw chitterlings (i.e., pork intestines, a traditional winter holiday food in some black families) contaminated with Yersinia enterocolitica 0:3 occurred among 15 children in metropolitan Atlanta (1).

 Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance
Since the late nineteenth century, African-American families in the rural south had enjoyed Saturday night barbecues and fish fries, complete with music and dancing, at events called "frolics" or "breakdowns." By the turn of the twentieth century, African-Americans in southern cities were throwing dance parties expressly to raise money.
Dozens of couples would cram into tiny apartments, and the sometimes painful results of dancing in such confined spaces led to the term "shin-digs" to describe these events, though they were also referred to as "stomps," "boogies," "breakdowns," "skiffles," "scuffles," "struggles," "shake-me-downs," "chitterling rags," and "struts."
African-Americans who came north during the great migration brought with them their fondness for a good shin-dig.
