A whole ‘lot of Salmonella going on.

We elaborated on just one of these but apparently March is National Salmonella month here in the U.S.  Among the products affected are dips, chips (a double whammy), spices and soup.

Just why are there so many products affected with Salmonella?  Maybe it’s time we stopped mass producing food in factories and “engineering” foods genetically.  Radical concepts, I’m aware but still, click through the evidence.  The system is broken and needs some fixes.
