  That's hardly amazing; I've known since I was a child that the main source of salmonella was eggs and possibly raw chicken. In fact, I'd have been hard-pressed to name another place you could get it.

    It's a somewhat common concern with pet reptiles. [1] http://www.cdc.gov/features/salmonellafrogturtle http://www.cdc.gov/features/salmonellafrogturtle

    Not to state the obvious, but ...salmon?

      The bacteria is named after Dr. Salmon, not related to the fish. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella#History

        True, but you still can get it from salmon (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/02/smoked-salmon-salmonella_n_1931940.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/02/smoked-salmon-salmo...).

    I knew a family who had a child very seriously ill with salmonella thanks to a pet turtle. The child survived, the turtle moved on.

    If you look at the data [0] on food recalls and safety warnings in the United States, you'll see that the large majority of food-borne salmonella occurs not in meat or eggs but in fruits and vegetables, particularly in ground-hugging varieties like peanuts, lettuces, peppers, and bean sprouts. This is almost always either because (a) the vegetables are fertilized with manure (organic vegetables, in particular, carry a higher risk of fecal contamination and associated diseases) or because (b) they're processed and packed in contaminated facilities. It is a self-fulfilling irony of the regulatory regime that vegetable-processing plants, which are more likely to be contaminated, are subject to less stringent safety standards than their meat- and poultry-processing counterparts. 0. http://google2.fda.gov/search?site=FDAgov-recalls&client=FDAgov-recalls&proxystylesheet=FDAgov-recalls&filter=0&getfields=*&sort=date:D:S:d1&q=Salmonella&requiredfields=recall_category:Food http://google2.fda.gov/search?site=FDAgov-recalls&client...

      Is possible/likely that that is (partially-) chicken manure? If so, reducing/eradicating endemic chicken salmonella might also remove it from the manure.

    There was a salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter just months ago. All of the peanut butter at Trader Joe's was recalled.
    • dublinben 14y ago
      That's incorrect. Only specific variants of their peanut and almond butters were recalled. That particular manufacturer also provided their product to many other companies. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/news/20120924/trader-joes-peanut-butter-recalled-nationwide http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/news/201209...
