Double EEK!

"Infection occurs when a patient eats or drinks food or beverages handled by a person who is “shedding” the Salmonella Typhi bacterium in his stool, or if sewage is contaminated with the bacterium and the water is used for drinking or washing food. The investigation into how the Salmonella Typhi got into the frozen mamey juice is continuing. Because both companies involved got their mamey pulp from the same supplier in Guatemala, the contamination most likely happened there."

This is getting ridiculous! Every day there is something else being recalled.
 
Off Topic:

If you've never read this book:

Amazon.com: Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (9780060938451): Eric Schlosser: Books


The book is more in depth than the movie.

Or watch a documentary called: Food Inc.

These really are must reads and sees. It goes into how our food is processed. Even raw whole foods that are aggregated in one distributing plant for shipping. Which can put contaminated items with others--thereby contaminating them too.

The man who wrote the book I linked, wrote it about 10 years ago and he foresaw a lot of the problems happening that we are having right now with massive recalls.

Sorry for the off topic but had to share.
