food poisoning: July 2008 Archives
Okay. I jumped the gun on the salsa.
The Salmonellosis continues, and now the FDA suspects jalapeno peppers or cilantro may be involved. And yet, I didn't see anything on their site just yet (probably because they tanked the tomato crop, perhaps for nothing, and don't want to affect any other crops until they know). The FDA does all that recalling, but the CDC -- the Centers for Disease Control -- well, they're all over this thing now because they investigate this sort of trouble and love making cool multicolored maps. They also advise against fresh jalapeno or poblano peppers for the moment.
Stay tuned...
