    Produce from Mexico to be inspected for Salmonella

    Produce From Mexico To Be Inspected For Salmonella
    Sunday, July 06, 2008 9:21:27 AM



    WASHINGTON -- Certain shipments of food from Mexico will no longer be allowed to come into the United States as health inspectors expand their search for the source of the salmonella outbreak.

    Inspectors will focus on cilantro, several types of peppers -- including jalapenos and serranos -- scallions and bulb onions.

    Shipments of the vegetables will head straight to a lab, where they will be tested for salmonella and E. coli.





    The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initially thought tomatoes were the only source of the outbreak.

    Analysts predicted losses in the tomato industry have topped $100 million. See related story.

    Since mid-April, there have been at least 943 reported cases of salmonella food poisoning.

    What a bunch of rocket scientists we have in Washington DC running this country.
    We can't deport them all ? Just think of the fun we could have trying!
