If it is like the spinach outbreak, they will issue vague after vague statement. Because it was not some farmer to blame, but a big business that was washing and packaging the greens, a process that caused cross-contamination. That business will be protected “for the sake of business.”
I suspect here too a single source point is the culprit. Are jalapenos packaged so? What about cilantro too?
If it is preparation related...I would look for chicken processing in the near area.
In my local ethnic/Hispanic market jalapenos are sold in bulk by the pound from a big huge box in the produce section.
Has anyone heard the ethnicity of the victims? I'm betting 90 percent Hispanic who shop at local ethnic markets.
Think third world labor with no training and skills in personal hygiene/sanitation practices.
Doesn’t matter what the vegie or fruit was or is.
