High-Tech Packaging Keeps Cut Produce Fresh

originally blamed on tomatoes....jalapeno peppers appear more likely to be at fault
It appears to me that the CBC doesn’t know exactly what is causing the deaths or illnesses of the public. First, they said coffee was no good for you, now they say it is. Secondly, unless a person is allergic to something, if it’s consumed in moderation, it most likely won’t bother you. In excess, everything is bad for you, including water. Drowning??? (laugh inserted here) Americans need to watch what they eat and do it in moderation. Plain and simple.
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?
