Yahoo! Buzz Digg Newsvine Reddit FacebookWhat's this?MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's Agriculture Department is denying reports that the United States will close its borders to some Mexican produce.
The department says it knows of no U.S. plan to stop imports of Mexican cilantro and jalapeno peppers, contrary to U.S. media reports.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating the source of a rare salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 900 people in the U.S.

The FDA has been testing tomatoes from Mexico and Florida in its search for the source of the outbreak. The FDA said Saturday it is also testing jalapeno peppers and other vegetables used to make salsa.

The first words out of all my friends mouths were, (poopin in the fields) I don't know of anyone questions were this is coming from. No one believes the media anymore. I don't think they will believe Mexico either.

Of course Mexico is denying it. To admit it would trample all over their ever-so-delicate pride, insult their dignity, and call into question their impeccable, unquestionable, world wide credibility and superiority as a nation.

Their produce should have been banned a long time ago........they have the toilet habits of wild life, irrigate with untreated waste water, and are far from having the standards concerning food supply that we do, nor do they intend to bring it up to that standard.

And, of course,instead of raising their standards, which would only be of benefit to them, what do they do? They make scornful remarks about gringos being too picky and never satisfied with anything

So what's the truth then?

Food Not Being Allowed Across The Border

As the number of salmonella victims in the United States expands, the hot focus now by federal investigators is on imports from Mexico.

Health inspectors will now intercept food crossing the Mexican border. Starting Monday, jULY 7, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno and serrano peppers, scallions, and bulb onions, will not be allowed in the U.S.

Samples will be sent to laboratories to test for salmonella and e-coli. The Center for Disease Control reports that the outbreak of salmonella has now sickened a recorded 922 persons in 40 states and the District of Columbia.
