We may be once again putting tomatoes on our plates, but the source of the salmonella outbreak has remained a mystery. The FDA just announced that a possible source of the salmonella outbreak – water. They found strains of salmonella in both irrigation water and serrano peppers at a Mexican farm in Nuevo Leon.

Since the tomato industry has lost by $300 million considering so much produce had to be thrown out due to the government’s warnings, the FDA has been hammered with questions, of course the most urgent one being, “Why did the research originally focus on tomatoes?” Officials said in the early part of the study, there was definitely a link to tomatoes, and that that red fruit still shouldn’t be ruled out entirely. They plus said it’s possible that the salmonella outbreak was connected to several different kinds of produce. Well that would assemble sense whether irrigation was the culprit.

As for now, two farms in Mexico are still under

study: The Tamaulipas farm and the Nuevo Leon farm. folks are still being advised to avoid raw jalapeño or serrano peppers from Mexico. I don’t know about you, but something tells me that issue isn’t a closed book. The Mexican government strongly disagrees with the FDA findings. First it was tomatoes, next it was hot peppers, and now the water. What element could possibly be implicated next?
