Salmonella found in Mexican-grown jalapenos

Why shouldn't we? We didn't have as many of these issues prior to forming the NAFTA and developing the Free Trade agreement with China, as well as, other newly included countries. Sounds like you have a special interest in Mexico.

The latest guess from the FDA. Here's a waste of tax dollars that could disappear, and nothing would change.

Give me a break. After devastating the tomato crop, the FDA is now after the jalapenos. What are they going to do? Blame each item in salsa one item at a time?

I take what the FDA says with a grain of salt.

By the way, I ate the tomatoes all during the scare!!

The FDA just hasn't had enough fun this summer. Now that the tomato industry has lost millions of dollars they pin salmonella on jalapeños. Good job, guys! Way to go. Ugh.

Buy American. I made that my new years resolution and it has not been that hard. Sometimes I have to buy things off the Internet. Mexico is not our friend they are like That pest always asking you for favors then tryin to steal your job.
It is time for Americans to band together and deal with this mexican thing once and for all.
Buy American it really is not that hard the media (owned by the advertisers) wants you to believe it is.

Dianna Degettes score on illegal immigration (Numbers USA) F-. Thanks for the Samonilla Sanctuary city Dianna.

You are really a red neck dumb ass...... i have to cheer your comment ... indeed ... bravo .... you are full of knowledge and wisdom ... ignorant ... read and study and please plug in your brain or maybe you have to restart it ...

Oh I think they know the source. They just don't want to admit it due to the outrage that the American people will direct toward many in our government who are greedy and tied to Corporate America. They stand to lose a lot of their own money if they admit to the real source. Think south of the border.

And where do you think all the fresh fruits and veggies you get during the winter come from - try Mexico, Central and South America. And what about the beef with E. Coli and Mad Cow in the states. Seems to me like you're going to be eating a lot of canned goods this winter.

Cows...............Tomatoes HUH???

So are you saying that if I drink beer and or wine. I will then crave Tomatoes and Jalapenos?

Why would I want to blame a person who:

jumps the border illegally,
steals a social security card and applies for benifits which I would never get if I applied,
drives without a license or insurance,
gets free medical,
free welfare,
section 8,
special consideration over my children in school with pull out programs and other perks,
whose children get free school lunch (the only meal during the day, and often the only meal),
who is frightened into voting Democrat (or loose all th benifits it is the closest thing to their socialism we have),
hates Americans worse than they hate each other?
Refuses to meld into American Society,
refuses to learn English and demands that we learn Spanish,
allows thier children to form gangs which prey on us?

(and for the eco nut) do not participate in the "Green Thing"

Your right, we should not blame or judge anyone, just discern what is correct.

Ohhh but the great americans do nothing illegal .. no .. they just invent wars .. kill innocent people around the world .. ahhh but they are taking the "real democracy" to this poor countries ... at any cost .. even their own young people, who think they are fighting a war on terror ... and by the way you americans don´t make gangs ... ???? think in hell angel´s or the white brotherhood for an instance .. poor USA so powerful and so full with ignorants ... maybe is all the drugs are taking ... USA is the worlds biggest drug market ...

It took them this long to figure out what a jalapeno pepper is.....and then how to spell it.

second hand smoke is bad for you only if your are within 50 feet of public buildings in some towns

Doc

are you aware of the cultural practice of putting toilet paper (used) in a basket instead of flushing? Since I am in contact with Cultural Mexicans, whose plumbing has long since failed in most Latin American Countries, they still practice this habit in the USA.

Most illegals are so uneducated about cleanliness. They refuse education (often leaving school after sixth grade- it's a cultural thing). In my Biology class, it was a revelation to my Mexican students about the spread of Bacteria..... Way to go "J" curve!

Why the Democrats want to take us to Socialism is beyond me. Mexicans are socialists who want to be in our Republic. They flock to California because of the liberal benefits package

Having traveled more of the world than not, over a number of years, food contamination has proven a challenge in most undeveloped countries. For over 200 years America has kept its food supply relatively clean. Understanding hygiene is a large part of keeping negative bacteria count low. Whether American or illegals process our food, washing hands after bathroom breaks, sneezes or changing activities is essential. The probable reason for contaminated vegetables or meat is sloppy handling.
Some countries in which I have lived are so consistently bad that staying healthy requires that raw vegetables be immersed for 20 minutes in a light bleach/water solution.
Maybe people who are concerned with staying healthy should eat only locally grown or processed food. Equipment is available to create a greenhouse in a garage or basement. These set-ups can easily grow enough food to feed a medium sized family year round.
Check - it - out.

Sam, because Mexicans have a cultural thing about leaving school and parents after you graduate........from the sixth grade, they don't understand what you are talking about.
When I taught Biology, ALL of my students were REALLY educated in my class. I took a solution that showed up under a black light. I put it on the door knob to the class that day I taught about Bacteria.

I often told the students that I knew they were fooling with the faucets at the lab tables. The
Mexican students were especially proud that they could "getting away with" handeling the lab stuff behind my back.

I turned on the black light for lab. The room was full of thier fingerprints everywhere. And "Jose's" finger prints were all over the lab stuff, faucets, pipetts, everything.
He had great respect for the schools property and my class after that lesson.

Oh yea, he encouraged his family to buy bateria killing soap. They worked at a local resturant.......
