My mom is planning a wedding and we imported a lot of food from africa, but she want to get it tested for any bacteria or eboli, etc.

does anyone know of a place that does this?

lol... eboli...

if it helps, I don't think you can catch ebola from food....

Check with some of the labs in Schuab hall (food science labs)

uncooked food? how did you get that through customs?

2/25/2008 11:41:21 AM

its all cooked, there no point in bringing uncooked food,

2/25/2008 1:37:32 PM

then what's the problem? post-cooking contamination?

2/25/2008 1:42:42 PM

eboli

2/25/2008 4:39:49 PM

i thought you could only bring packaged/processed food through customs, i would think you should have no worries about bacteria

2/25/2008 4:40:49 PM

this would be somethign you might research before you bring the food in. amirite?

2/25/2008 6:51:08 PM

What is it, a bunch of tubers? Also, if she is serving a plated dinner, the wait staff should carry the trays on their heads.

yall r some haters, but the food is sauce, the engredients are normal

the equivalent of ragu, lots of spices, chicken, etc.
we dont want a whole wedding of sick people

As long as it's heated properly, you shouldn't have any problems.

2/27/2008 7:59:40 PM

unless it has botulism

2/27/2008 8:41:38 PM

why did you import food if you were going to worry about things like that?

Personally, I don't think there is a problem; however the testing you are searching for will probably cost as much as the food anyways.

2/27/2008 8:46:34 PM

you should test it on some hobos. rasta-hobo on western was saying he was pretty hungry yesterday.

2/28/2008 11:30:47 AM

did you really just say "engredients"

2/28/2008 11:34:38 AM

thanks everyone for nothing, although yall got a point, if i heat it up real nice it should kill bacteria, but its still pretty sketchy

Place to test it: Your stomach. You should get the results back in a day or so.

Man, I had no idea you couldn't buy spaghetti sauce in the states anymore.
