According to a new story in USA Today, jalapenos are the latest culprits in the recent salmonella outbreak.
The USDA and the CDC have been closely monitoring our Southern borders all this week for any contaminated produce entering the United States. Their recent surveillance and testing has brought the jalapeno pepper under suspicion with the tomato as the cause of the recent saintpaul salmonella outbreak.
This particular strain of the bacteria has now infected a confirmed 1000 people.
The CDC won't go so far as to say that peppers and tomatoes are the only and definite causes of the infection, but that the are more often than not a present factor to those infected.
