Salmonella found in Mexican-grown jalapenos - Infectious diseases- msnbc.com
updated 7:29 p.m. ET, Mon., July. 21, 2008
WASHINGTON - Government inspectors finally have a big clue in the nationwide salmonella outbreak: They found the same bacteria strain on a single Mexican-grown jalapeno pepper handled in Texas — and issued a stronger warning for consumers to avoid fresh jalapenos.
This news put a little damper on my whole “I am a Chili Pepper” motto. All the sudden, it’s “I am a killer Chili Pepper”…. bummer.
Oh well… avoid Jalapeños for now I guess. I am sure in a week they will blame it on something else.

Salmonella - Sin…What a great comparison!! Just a thought. Issuing strong Government warnings as opposed to strong Biblical warnings!! Genius!
