This is all so insane. and how many tomatoes just died on the vine?
Tomorrow it will probably be something else.

Do you mean the tomatoes died in "vine?"

Wasn't VA cleared?!

They could have sold some local couldn't they? In seeing how they pack our food and truck it around, I was thinking that farmers should be required to pack their produce in the state it's grown. Make sure each state has enough facilities (jobs anyone?!) and it would save on fuel, the environment and infrastructure. Would also make trace back easier. A COOL label will tell you where it was grown, but how the heck do you know where it was packed etc?! And they send USA grown stuff to Mexico for packing or other distribution points where it's all mixed up. The less traveling our food does, the safer it is. Especially if they beef up inspectors in the USA (cause we know they are still going to be lax at the borders) and add a few inspectors to every state for then (new) packing facilities. Big AG fucked up self regulating, time to smack them down and put some controls in place, eh?

I wonder how they explain some of the northern cases of Salmonella. That Texas company didn't ship peppers everywhere.

One tainted pepper, over 1200 reported cases.

Gad Nancy Drew would have solved this case a month ago, she would have found a clue. I'm waiting for the FDA to tell us not to eat any vegetable. I love how much money this is actually costing the farmers but we can't afford to actually account for where food comes from.

Ahhh, but that assumes that they WANT TO account for where the food comes from... And we know what these globalists are working for.

Salmonella illness linked to Roseville restaurant's peppers

New answers came Wednesday in a salmonella outbreak that sickened at least 27 people in Minnesota.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned the victims all have something in common: They ate at the same restaurant.

State health officials said The Good Earth restaurant in Roseville was very unlucky. They did nothing wrong and it was pure chance they received a shipment of tainted jalapeno peppers.

Between June 13 and June 22, 27 people reported cases of salmonella to the Department of Health. Investigators were able to determine 20 were patrons and seven were Good Earth employees.

In fact, the cases match the strain of bacteria that has made more than 1,200 people sick in 43 states and Canada.

The FDA has linked the outbreak to a Mexican farm, but is still asking people to avoid eating raw jalapeno peppers and any foods that contain them.

The state said The Good Earth fully cooperated with the investigation. The restaurant’s manager said jalapeno peppers have been taken off the menu.
