The Number of Salmonella Cases Continues to Rise
Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced the number of salmonella cases have jumped to 228 spreading to a total of 23 states.The FDA still has no clue regarding the origin of the tainted tomatoes. Although 228 seems minute in comparison to the population of the United States, Americans should not have to worry about what they eat, at least when the meal of choice is veggies. That is why we pay taxes. So agencies like the FDA can ensure our safety against deadly diseases including salmonella.
So, why are we still having these massive outbreaks every couple of months? Like I mentioned just days ago, we have the available technology to decontaminate food before it ever reaches the consumer. It is just a matter of our government providing the needed funding for these technologies and the organizations that develop them.
