iSpeak: Food Safety
Salmonella in tomatoes. Unsanitary conditions in raising poultry. Uranium in salmon and other fish. There have been many recent exposes of unsafe fruit, vegetables and meat and fish supplies. Has any of this changed what you choose to eat? If so, in what ways?
The problem that salmonella is found in our produce has to do in the way it is been package. If produces are packaged by itself it is highly impossible for it to be salmonella tainted, but if they are packaged within close proximity with meat products cross contamination will definately occur.
I don't change the way i choose my food group.

| I have started buying canned vegetables again. They have becom enticing. Although, most of the well-seasoned vegetables are not koshers they compete with my gourmet for dummies reciptes.

| This is contamination of food in the worst way - before it gets to the consumer-more stringent handling and growing trends need to be applied to this matter.

| Yes, I have definitiely made changes in how I eat due to the recent news about salmonella, mercury and the threats to our food supply. The key for most of my concerns is to triple wash my fruit and vegetables and buy them as fresh as possible (whole, never sliced). As for the poultry, I wash it well and soak and wash it with kosher salt.
