Marler Blog - So, where the Hell did the Salmonella Tomatoes and E. coli Romain Lettuce come from? - Comments http://www.marlerblog.com/ Food Poisoning Lawyer & Attorney : Bill Marler : Marler Clark en Copyright 2012 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:12:15 -0800 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:12:15 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.32-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Douglas I really think all this hype about e-coli in our vegetables has gone to far. Out of all the states and the millions of people, I think 145 is quite minute. Trust me the FDA and the USDA cannot and will not protect us all from this type of bacteria. People need to wake up.

I cannot count the number of times that I have been in a public bathroom and heard a person leave the toilet stall and simply walk right out of the bathroom. How disgusting; were these folks brought up in a barn or something? Come on people, all it takes is a 20 second stop at the sink!

The food, not a worker handling them, is the source of the salmonella.

Douglas: If that is the case, then let's just not worry about it, take our time in the investigation, and possibly let it spread. ;)

It all traces back to not washing your hands! Just nasty!

It's still on the shelves. Why has it not been pulled by Walmart, etc.?

These tomato-based food items are perfectly safe. It was raw tomatoes that caused the problem.

The spinach E. Coli fiasco a couple years ago was deer feces I think. There are countless strands of E. Coli. Everyone is harboring E. Coli in our digestive system at the very moment, but we're generally resistant to those. We tend to not be resistant to certain strands of E. Coli found in animals, ergo the outbreak announcements when they find out about contaminations in foods. Washing hands is a bigger problem in hospitals than food service, although it always important to wash your hands. I certainly wouldn't want someone that didn't wash their hands handling my food.

It seems like a really serious issue so let's not spread it without investigating because it will create rumors among people.
