What cute jalapeno peppers, oh why do you cause salmonella? The FDA has found that the recent out break of salmonella can be traced to a strain of salmonella that came from Mexican jalapeno peppers. Lou Dobbs must either have a shit eating grin or be very very angry tonight. So avoid Mexican jalapeno peppers for a while, and lay off the jarred salsa for a while too.
And the tomato industry is now claiming that the salmonella scare cost the industry approximately $100 million. Glad the CDC and FDA are staffed well enough to handle these outbreaks. Republicans again proving that when they run the government that the government is indeed a problem. That idea of small (and crony) government is also working out well, isn't it...Republicans? Conservatives? Anyone? Can't wait to bail out the tomato industry. Money for every industry!
