"February 17, 2007 National Briefing | Washington Cantaloupes Are Recalled By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Dole Fresh Fruit Company recalled several thousand cartons of imported cantaloupes after the fruit tested positive for salmonella. The recall, which covers the eastern United States and the Canadian province of Quebec, is the second prompted by salmonella fears this week. On Wednesday, ConAgra Foods recalled its Peter Pan brand and certain batches of Wal-Mart’s Great Value house brand of peanut butter after they were linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened nearly 300 people in 39 states. Dole said there had been no reports of illness as a result of the contaminated cantaloupes, which were grown in Costa Rica."

i think what we're seeing here is not an increase in salmonella, but an increase in our ability to track our food supply.

this is a very good thing and makes me feel great! must be depressing for any terrorists though that might have entertained thoughts of tainting our food supply

I've heard about the fresh fruit thing ... as I recall it stems from companies using the same trucks that transport live chickens to transport fruit, and most of us don't wash the outsides of fruits with soap and water
