As I negotiated the north circular this morning a voice on the
radio was saying something about outbreaks of salmonella being
caused by lettuce contaminated by manure.
Are there implications here for the home producer?

Of course. So much for organic gardening.

If you forgot the sarcasm, I apologise for the following:

Fool.

Manure is used by both organic and conventional systems. Salmonella
is
present in most faeces, including those of wild birds. Which
droppeth as
the gentle rain from heaven on organic and conventional produce
alike.

Apology accepted.
