PlusFDA: US Jalapenos OK, Avoid Those From MexicoFDA: US Jalapenos OK, Avoid Those From MexicoThe Associated PressThe FDA has narrowed its warning to avoid jalapenos from Mexico, not the U.S. crop. The agency recently found the same strain of salmonella responsible for the outbreak on a single Mexican-grown jalapeno in a Texas produce warehouse. (July 25)[Notes:VO --FILE VIDEO AND PHOTOS] THE F-D-A IS URGING CONSUMERS TO AVOID RAW MEXICAN JALAPENOS AND THE SERRANO PEPPERS OFTEN CONFUSED WITH THEM.IT'S ALSO URGING CONSUMERS TO AVOID DISHES MADE WITH THESE PEPPERS -- SUCH AS FRESH SALSA. [Notes:VO--FILE VIDEO AND PHOTOS]THE AGENCY SAYS IT GOT A BIG BREAK EARLIER THIS WEEK WHEN IT ANNOUNCED IT HAD FOUND THE SAME STRAIN OF SALMONELLA RESPOSIBLE FOR THE OUTBREAK ON A SINGLE JALAPENO IN A SOUTH TEXAS PRODUCE WAREHOUSE. THE JALAPENO WAS GROWN IN MEXICO.THE FDA'S HEAD OF FOOD SAFETY SAYS DOMESTICALLY GROWN JALAPENO PRODUCTS ARE NOT TRACING BACK AT ALL TO THE OUTBREAK -- AND HE SAID THE FDA IS CERTAIN THE TAINTED PEPPERS ARE COMING FROM MEXICO. [Notes:VO--FILE VIDEO AND PHOTOS] THE BIG QUESTION NOW -- HOWEVER -- IS HOW HOT PEPPER LOVERS WOULD KNOW WHERE THE CHILES CAME FROM -- ESPECIALLY IN RESTAURANT FOOD.THE F-D-A IS ADVISING RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES TO KNOW THEIR SUPPLIERS AND PASS THAT INFORMATION ON TO CUSTOMERS. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Aug 2, 2008 - They are filthy people living in a filthy country. They are probably immune to most of the common food-borne illnesses endemic to that particular region of their squalid villages.One of the amazing things about this story is that it is an old joke about when people go to Mexico." Dont drink the the Water" It is possible to build up a tolerance for certain bacterial infestations.

Aug 3, 2008 - La salmonela es una bacteria que se produce en cualquier parte del mundo, es solo un problema que se tiene que atender como todo, como cuando se consumio espinaca contaminada de california (USA) y se infectaron muchas jentes y murieron algunas. Son cosas que suceden asta en el mismo hogar, no es cuestion de razas o culturas como lo quieren ver aqui.
