Um...

So how does the average joe know what lot number his cucumbers are? Anyone have an idea where the wholesaler is located that sold it to the store?

Coming from the toilet paper dust evacuates a plane story...give some to the field workers who apparently need more honey huts and disinfectant.

Oh - this is it! Wash everything, people! We're going to have to go back to growing everything for ourselves if the growers can't keep "crap" off of everything.

just a raw dill..for the consumer..who's all ready in a pickle...

When is the media going to talk about the real story of how all these food products get contaminated by the monopoly three of food manufacturers?

Oh wait, they can't. Federal legislature prevents photos, articles, even this post that I'm wr

The republicans must be sleeping late this Saturday morning...they haven't blamed Obama yet for this. Give'em a few hours...

The system thats in place in europe to track e-coli and salmonella in produce works .Its not in this country because producers cried about the cost so we become collateral damage and and the politicans keep their donations rolling in! Oh thats right the F.D.A. IS Understaffed and people have to get sick before they do anything!

anyone who buys store food like this and don't wash it should STOP and think of all the chemicals sprayed on and all the hands on before you get it let alone serve it on your dinner table [yuk yuk] so holesome this market grown food

Oh, crap. Now a certain segment of the population will have to put a condom on their cucumbers.

The story indicates inspectors found salmonella last week **on** cucumbers. Salmonella bacteria is naturally occurring all over in the environment. Use the common wisdom our mothers and grandmothers have been telling us for centuries - Wash your food before you eat it! You don't know who or what else may have touched it in the process of growing in an open field or being picked, packed or shipped to your grocer.

With the massive flooding washing out feces from pastures and excess raw sewage from treatment plants into beds of vegetables, we will probably see sicknesses we have never experienced before.

Ripples in lakes.

this story put me off salad for several hours

Well duh, of course you're supposed to wash the cucumber and everyone, unless that person is an idiot, washes it prior to use, but this is probably something that would only come off with hot water or some sort of soap, or maybe peeling the skin off.

Can that be contracted via insertion? (I'm just asking for....a friend....)

Thanks goodness, I live in europe. I have never heard of food poisoning here. Our food is very safe, hormones are not allowed in meat and we all know that nutrasweet is a poison chemical made by monsanto that makes pesticides and other poisons.

Americans are so naive, they think they live in the greatest country in the world, what a bunch of fools ! YOUR FOOD SUPPLY IS POISONNED, PEOPLE AND IT IS FULL OF POISONED CHEMICALS.
