FDA gives up on salmonella

Essentially saying that it doesn’t know what caused a major salmonoella outbreak and isn’t likely to find out, the Food and Drug Administration says you can eat all the tomatoes you want again.

Jalapeño and serrano chiles are still drawing some scrutiny, but not that much.

The part in italics is the main story. It’s just another symptom of our under-regulated, sprawling, Big Ag food supply chain.
