The moisture and the temperature required to grow them can grow bad stuff, too.

But knowing it doesn't keep me from eating anything in town except Chinese food where they throw in Monosodium Glutimate causes my blood pressure to skyrocket.<br /><br />Tracing foodborne outbreaks has become a lot more efficient during the past 25 years. Likely the number of outbreaks involving all manner of food products hasn't increased percentage-wise, so much as the ability to isolate what it was people became ill from. It came as a huge surprise to the entire community of people concerned with such things with a series botulism deaths across the country were eventually traced to a midwest eating place selling individual jalapeno peppers pickled in a gallon jar. <br /><br />Similarly, the first time anyone ever heard of anyone getting sick from macaroni and cheese involved 135 kids eating it prepared in a school lunchroom in Round Rock, Texas early in the 1980s. Immaculate place, concientious food workers. But it was mixed in a huge vat, two of the women [identified by nasal swabs and lab tests] had staph infections, one of which was the same as the staph identified in stool specimens from some hospitalized kids.<br /><br />Slow cooling time at the center of the mass of macaroni was the culprit, changed all manner of ways of handling large quantities of potentially innocuolated food items.<br /><br />Before that event there's no estimating how many got sick across the country without it ever being identified as a source.<br /><br />Life's a dangerous place.

We get a lot of local produce in season and I scrub it too.<br />I try not to buy any pre-packaged food. If I can't pick over the potatoes, tomatoes and other produce I don't buy. <br />I am fortunate in that I live where food grows.Oldfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688289425207257034noreply@blogger.com
