Appetites overtake FDA advisories

Will the FDA be able to locate the source, something we all want to know, and it’s not easy by any stretch of the mind. Perhaps we might have to curb out taste for some varieties of Mexican food. It certainly has the appearance of going beyond tomatoes at this point too. Perhaps even more staffing is in the future for the FDA. BD

DALLAS - While the FDA has now issued a warning for salsa and guacamole in connection to the tomato salmonella scare, many people are putting their appetites over the advisories. The FDA now says cilantro, jalapeno, Serrano peppers and tomatoes may be the culprits behind a rash of salmonella cases that have made a large number of people ill. But the warning hasn't carried much weight with salsa lovers in North Texas.
