No one got sick. Damage to the packages was apparent and it was disgarded.
It has to be difficult to keep critters out of huge stockpiles.

Ohio has taken the lead in race to have the most cases of salmonella. As of 9PM EDT, Wednesday, January 22, 2009, 491 persons infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium have been reported from 43 states. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: Alabama (1),
Arizona (10),
Arkansas (4),
California (62),
Colorado (12),
Connecticut (9),
Georgia (6),
Hawaii (3),
Idaho (11),
Illinois (6),
Indiana (4),
Iowa (2),
Kansas (2),
Kentucky (3),
Maine (4),
Maryland (8),
Massachusetts (42),
Michigan (25),
Minnesota (35),
Missouri (9),
Mississippi (3),
Nebraska (1),
New Hampshire (11),
New Jersey (19),
New York (18),
Nevada (5),
North Carolina (6),
North Dakota (10),
Ohio (67),
Oklahoma (2),
Oregon (7),
Pennsylvania (14),
Rhode Island (4),
South Dakota (2),
Tennessee (9),
Texas (6),
Utah (5),
Vermont (4),
Virginia (20),
Washington (13),
West Virginia (2),
Wisconsin (3),
and Wyoming (2).
Additionally, one ill person was reported from Canada.
Among the persons with confirmed, reported dates available, illnesses began between September 14, 2008 and January 8, 2009. Patients range in age from <1 to 98 years; 48% are female. Among persons with available information, 22% reported being hospitalized. Infection may have contributed to seven deaths.
The outbreak can be visually described with a chart showing the number of persons who became ill each day. This chart is called an epidemic curve or EPI Curve The epi curve and information about interpreting it may be found here. It shows that most illnesses began after October 1, 2008. Illnesses that occurred after December 22, 2008 may not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of 2 to 3 weeks.
Thanks for the assist.
Well, considering the 2006 peanut butter outbreak, the spinach outbreak last year followed by the FDA destroying the tomato industry when it wasn't even the tomatoes (it was peppers), "one off" doesn't quite describe it. It's just something that happens when corners are cut.
There are reasons that food processing plants have sanitation standards and QC testing in place. It's when people take shortcuts to save money, or time, or make quota, etc., that things like this happen. You can't be too careful when you make a product that people put into their bodies, whether it's food, nutritional supplements, drugs, or medical devices. It's truly a case of "better safe than sorry."
Salmonella is an enteric bacterium. Ditto for Escherichia coli. Sanitation "engineers" look for evidence of "coliform" bacteria in water supplies as evidence of fecal contamination. Bird droppings in to open wells, runoff of water from animal grazing areas and rodent droppings are common sources.
Everyone has E. coli in their intestinal tract. We depend upon E. coli to manufacture vitamin K to help our blot clot properly. The "bad boys" in the E. coli world are E. coli O157:H7 and E. coli O129:H19. They produce exotoxins that damage the kidneys. This toxin is virtually identical to the one produced by another enteric bacterium, Shigella dysenteria. It typically only takes 50 viable E. coli organisms to "set up housekeeping" in your intestinal tract.
Bon appetit!
More than I needed to know!
Illegals
Is the Serratia marcescens bacteria dangerous or just unsightly?
Was that the kid whose healthnut MoM was making him spinach smoothies?
I couldnt stand spinach as a kid. I like it now, fresh in a salad with bacon drippings poured
Yea, or Stella or Darren:)
Well as far as the eggs go the bacteria is on the egg not in it. If you rinse the egg off with cold water it is usually enough to get the bacteria off the egg enough that it will not be a problem.
poured on it
Commercial plug alert.
Hey... I like Them crackers L0L

I wonder if there will ever be a version of Bergey's manual online. My copy is so out of date (1973).
