FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 26, 2009
Media Inquiries:
Michael Herndon, 301-796-4673
Consumer Inquiries:
888-INFO-FDA



RAW ALFALFA SPROUTS LINKED TO SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) today recommended that consumers not eat raw
alfalfa sprouts, including sprout blends containing alfalfa sprouts, until
further notice because the product has been linked to Salmonella serotype
Saintpaul contamination. Other types of sprouts have not been implicated
at this time.

The investigation indicates that the problem may be linked to
contamination of seeds for alfalfa sprouts. Because suspect lots of seeds
may be sold around the country and may account for a large proportion of
the alfalfa seeds currently being used by sprout growers, and cases of
illness are spread across multiple states, FDA and CDC are issuing this
general advisory.

FDA will work with the alfalfa sprout industry to help identify which
seeds and alfalfa sprouts are not connected with this contamination, so
that this advisory can be changed as quickly as possible.

CDC, FDA and six State and local authorities have associated this outbreak
with eating raw alfalfa sprouts. Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia have reported 31 cases of illness with the
outbreak strain of Salmonella Saintpaul to CDC. Most of those who became
ill reported eating raw alfalfa sprouts. Some reported eating raw sprouts
at restaurants; others reported purchasing the raw sprouts at the retail
level.

The illnesses began in mid-March. Cases are still being reported, and
possible cases are in various stages of laboratory testing, so illnesses
may appear in other states. No deaths have been reported. The number of
infected people may be higher than currently reported because some
illnesses have not yet been confirmed with laboratory testing.

The CDC and FDA recommend at all times that persons at high risk for
complications, such as the elderly, young children, and those with
compromised immune systems, not eat raw sprouts because of the risk of
contamination with Salmonella or other bacteria. Salmonella is an
organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune
systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella often experience
fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal
pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the
organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses,
such as meningitis and bone infections.

Initial investigation results trace the contaminated raw alfalfa sprouts
to multiple sprout growers in multiple states. This suggests a potential
problem with the seeds used, as well as the possible failure of the sprout
growers involved to appropriately and consistently follow the FDA Sprout
Guidance issued in 1999 http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/sprougd1.html. The
guidance recommends an effective seed disinfection treatment immediately
before the start of sprouting (such as treating seed in 20,000 parts per
million Calcium hypochlorite solution with agitation for 15 minutes) and
regularly testing the water used for every batch of sprouts for Salmonella
and E coli O157:H7 contamination.

This outbreak appears to be an extension of an earlier outbreak in 2009.
In February and March, an outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul infections
occurred in Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, and Minnesota. This
outbreak was linked to raw alfalfa sprouts, and the outbreak strain was
indistinguishable from that of these recently reported cases. A separate
outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections was also linked to sprouts
in 2009. In the 1990s, a number of outbreaks related to sprouts led FDA to
issue its guidance. Experience over the past decade has shown that the
likelihood of Salmonella in sprouts can be minimized when recommendations
from FDA’s Sprout Guidance are followed.

Preventive controls are very important in the growing of all raw sprouts.
FDA reminds sprout growers to be vigilant in their food safety practices
and strongly encourages sprout growers to follow the Agency’s Sprout
Guidance. Additionally, the United Fresh Produce Association has advised
all of its members to follow FDA’s guidance on sprouts. FDA appreciates
that the produce industry has reinforced this message and reminds
retailers that it is prudent to sell sprouts from growers who follow FDA's
recommendations.

For persons who continue to eat sprouts, visit (U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, 2002 consumer advisory, available at
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/tpsprout.html).

to bust their asses harvesting broccoli for 8 hours at a time, even for the
legal minimum wage. Or, clean hotel bathrooms, wash pots & pans in a hot,

There are people willing to do those jobs for those low wages because
it is a hell of a lot better than lying down on the cold, hard earth
and starving to death. I pretty sure that most of us here are lucky
enough to have other options. Anyone willing to work should be allowed
to go wherever there is work for them.

People might argue that we are losing jobs in this country by the
hundreds of thousands, but these are likely the same people who are
too lazy to pick their own vegetables, wash their own dishes, and
scrub their own toilets.

I have to apologize for my previous post, in which I said that some
people are lazy. I know that there are many hard-working citizens of
this country who do not believe that anyone should enter this country
illegally. I should not have attacked them for their views, simply
because I disagreed.

Further, I apologize for replying to a troll thread, even if other
people already replied to it, and also for making so many off-topic
posts in the ng today.

====================

You'll need to change the law so that citizens can be FORCED to take certain
kinds of jobs.

Bill Clinton had an interesting idea: Offer juicy educational benefits for
young people who do the crap jobs normally done by immigrants (legal or
illegal). The idea fizzled. He was probably preoccupied by the fake saints
and their blowjob investigation.

Even someone as stupid as you should have noticed that WW2 ended quite some time ago now.

Like hell they will. They'll rot and the food will be imported from mexico instead.

Farmers will pay more for labor


Like hell they will. Because what is imported from mexico will be much cheaper.

but the overall societal benefit will be tremendous.

It wouldnt even kill off ******s like you. No one would be stupid enough to pay you a cent.

given the benefits that European workers have (five weeks paid vacation,
health care, maternity leave with pay, a day to clean the grave of a

given a week to recuperate from their excesses at a spa. Hello,

You are so profoundly, egregiously wrong, but that wouldn't interfere
with you adding fecundity to a garden as compost.

From Reagan's "It's morning again in America.", to Gingrich's Contract
on America, to "suuuuue wiiii pig, pig, pig" from "The Worst President
Ever" standing next to the American, fiscal trough, deregulation is what
America's politicians have been paid to do and they have done it to our
detriment.

To bring up that particular mantra now, after being responsible for a
world wide financial collapse is like suggesting we put out a fire with
gasoline.

I don't like the President's approach on Shrub's vanity wars or his
response to our economic problems, otherwise he seems to be doing a fine
job.

But blaming the President, barely 100 days in office, for the last eight
years of chicanery and theft is contemptuous.

And to continue the subject line of a white-power racist, puts you
beneath contempt, but that is probably where your sympathies lie.

responsibility", they may be on to something.

duped.
If you ignore the amount of money he has budgeted in his first 100 days

It is not the deregulation that provides incentive for employers to go

Panopticonman "panopticonman" (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
**
The New York Times has been of many minds about Ivan Illich, beginning
with its review of "Deschooling Society" in 1971. According to The
Times' December 4, 2002 obituary of Illich, the Times reviewer found the
book to be "'a mind-bending litany of abstraction' and a distraction
from schools' all too real problems." In that same year however, Anatole
Broyard found Illich's critiques "illuminating." But this was apparently
a burst of youthful enthusiasm, for twenty years later in 1989, Broyard
repented his earlier endorsement of Illich: in an article about
winnowing down his library he said he would "especially" discard Mr.
Illich's works.

It's not surprising Illich's project flummoxed the NYTimes. As
progressive advocates of the modern project, and now the last outpost of
bourgeoisie brownstone liberalism, the Times' promulgates a kind of
idealist pragmatic middle ground where technocrats can dispassionately
design and administer systems that will promote the Good and the
Beautiful. Illich, on the other hand, ultimately rejected the modern
project, whatever its political orientation, because he viewed it as
inherently corrupt. In his earlier writings in the early 70s, such as
TOOLS FOR CONVIVIALITY, he believed that it might be possible to stop,
rethink and humanize mankind's relationship with man and the earth. But
by the end of his life he saw that the modernist project could not be
arrested in its destructive disenchantment of the earth and humankind.

Anything like Walden Two by B. F. Skinner

http://www.amazon.com/Walden-Two-B-F...ref=sr_1_1?ie=
UTF8&s=books&qid=1241122754&sr=1-1

t in the United States, it pictures a society in which human problems
are solved by a scientific technology of human conduct.

FROM THE PREFACE: It is now widely recognised that great changes must be
made in the American way of life. Not only can we not face the rest of
the world while consuming and polluting as we do, we cannot for long
face ourselves while acknowledging the violence and chaos in which we
live. The choice is clear: either we do nothing and allow a miserable
and probably catastrophic future to overtake us, or we use our knowledge
about human behaviour to create a social environment in which we shall
live productive and creative lives and do so without jeopardising the
chances that those who follow us will be able to do the same. Something
like a Walden Two would not be a bad start.

Would have been nice, if they had set aside money for the insurance
policies they wrote, instead of the 30 to 1 leverage position that they

Dumb Illegal Workers At It Again? RAW ALFALFA SPROUTS LINKED TO SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION
 
"Jangchub" wrote in message
...

I'd like to kick GWB in the nuts just as much as you would, but he
and his sitters are not responsible for the unwillingness of
Americans to do certain types of work. I challenge anyone to find
100 typical teenagers who'd agree to bust their asses harvesting
broccoli for 8 hours at a time, even for the legal minimum wage. Or,
clean hotel bathrooms, wash pots & pans in a hot, crowded restaurant
kitchen, etc.


I washed pots at the Frog and the Peach restaruant on Long Island and
ran up and down to the walk in box for the chef's requests for
sometimes 10 hours a day, more on the weekend. We barely grow hand
picked vegetables in America any more, we have factory farms for the
most part with automated pickers. Crops we get which are harvested by
migrant workers are in Mexico, Chile, etc. American's are lazy, fat,
and sloven.

Statistically and logically invalid response: "I did that kind of
work and it didn't kill me." That's one. I want 100.


I just said I did it. Everyone who worked in that kitchen was
American.



You replied to two different people in your previous post. The "invalid
response" lesson came from ME. The fact that YOU did the kind of work you
described is meaningless. I guarantee that if you asked American 100
teenagers if they'd give up their nice, comfy jobs at the mall or
Blockbuster and go pick vegetables or clean public bathrooms all day long,
they'd laugh at you.

Sauce is ready. A bit runny, but it will do.

Employment statistics - http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/pres...1709epress.pdf
~790,000 unemployed in Tx.

Immigration statistics - http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/s...cs/illegal.pdf
This one says ~2 million immigrants in Tx in 1996 and growing fast.
Don't have time to find today's numbers, but they are higher.

I was over-the-top with my statement about the local economy
collapsing. So long as people are working we should be mostly ok.
However, the idea that we are going to deport millions of people is
simply ludicrous.

...


I will search for the statistics, but I remember reading that the
number of illegal workers in the state of Texas far outnumbers the
number of unemployed legal workers. Many of those legal workers are
likely resistant to the idea of working their asses off for minimum
wage. Get rid of all the illegals and the veggies will not be picked,
the local economy will collapse.


Sauce is ready. A bit runny, but it will do.

Employment statistics -http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/press/2009/041709epress.pdf
~790,000 unemployed in Tx.

Immigration statistics -www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/illegal.pdf
This one says ~2 million immigrants in Tx in 1996 and growing fast.
Don't have time to find today's numbers, but they are higher.

I was over-the-top with my statement about the local economy
collapsing. So long as people are working we should be mostly ok.
However, the idea that we are going to deport millions of people is
simply ludicrous.


I mis-read the numbers in the second document. Cali was 2 mil. and
Texas was 700k. That is still a lot more than the unemployment numbers
for that time.

"The INS (now dissolved into the Dept. of Homeland Security) estimated
in February 2003 that the resident illegal population in Texas was
1,041,000 as of January 2000. This number 341,000 higher than the INS'
1996 estimate." - http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServe...h_researchab4e
The INS estimate is also referenced at: http://www.cis.org/articles/2003/back1403.html
The original document was here, http://uscis.gov/graphics/shared/sta...eport_1211.pdf,
but no longer. I'll look more when I can.

Also remember that our unemployment rate recently doubled. Much of the
new jobs being lost are higher paying than what illegals are doing,
and a lot are either going to cheaper locations or disappearing
altogether. I don't believe that illegal immigration is the problem,
but merely one of the symptoms.

As opposed to dumb legal workers like the thieves who
just left the Oval Office? The ones who forced us to need
illegal's because nobody will do those jobs? Oh yeah, them.


I'd like to kick GWB in the nuts just as much as you would, but he
and his sitters are not responsible for the unwillingness of
Americans to do certain types of work. I challenge anyone to find
100 typical teenagers who'd agree to bust their asses harvesting
broccoli for 8 hours at a time, even for the legal minimum wage.
Or, clean hotel bathrooms, wash pots & pans in a hot, crowded
restaurant kitchen, etc.


I washed pots at the Frog and the Peach restaruant on Long
Island and ran up and down to the walk in box for the chef's
requests for sometimes 10 hours a day, more on the weekend.


And **** all americans are prepared to do that sort of
work, particularly when they can get welfare instead.

We barely grow hand picked vegetables in America any more,


That is a pig ignorant lie.

we have factory farms for the most part with automated pickers.


That is a pig ignorant lie with vegetables.

Crops we get which are harvested by migrant workers are in Mexico, Chile, etc.


That is a pig ignorant lie.

American's are lazy, fat, and sloven.


What I said in different words.

Statistically and logically invalid response: "I did that kind
of work and it didn't kill me." That's one. I want 100.


I just said I did it. Everyone who worked in that kitchen was American.


Were they recent immigrants tho ?

We managed to harvest the crops during WW2 with over 2,000,000 in uniform.


Even someone as stupid as you should have
noticed that WW2 ended quite some time ago now.


I wasn't even a sperm cell during that time and I failed history
miserably. I live in the now. I will reference the past for
comparison, but "in uniform" tells me forced labor.


Those harvesting the crops during WW2 werent in uniform.

He's talking about the 2M in the military etc. The crops
were harvested even with all those 2M in uniform.

Get rid of the illegals and the crops will be picked.


News flash, the illegals in Texas build almost 90 percent of homes,
roofs, pools, roads, fences, masonry, iron work, plasterers, painters,
window installation, warranty work, delivery, pick-up, and just about
any job involving a wood frame including the frame is done by illegal
and legal immigrants. And they do it for slave wages in the heat, day
after day and never complain. NEVER complain.


We don't grow crops here the way you think we do.


Still do, using non americans to harvest them.

We grow a LOT of corn. Corn is in everything.


America grows a hell of a lot more than just corn.
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications...Oct/VGS329.pdf

Like hell they will. They'll rot and the food will be imported from mexico instead.


It's already imported from central and south America.


Most vegetables aint.
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications...Oct/VGS329.pdf

Peru, Chile...bananas...etc.


Farmers will pay more for labor


What are you quoting from?


Like hell they will. Because what is imported from mexico will be much cheaper.


Oh yeah, circle back around now.


No circling there.

Americana is fat, ungrateful, lazy and they want it cheap


What I said in different words.

and not be taxed. Well, that garbage picked up, roads, on and on
are paid by taxes. If you really want to bitch, find out how much
the football coach makes at any Texas highschool and tell me why.


Irrelevant to what is being discussed.

but the overall societal benefit will be tremendous.


Mindlessly silly. Even someone as stupid as you
wouldnt benefit from slaving in some field, ******.


Mindless? That's an interesting thing to call someone who is a full time volunteer.


It that claim thats mindeless, stupid.

It wouldnt even kill off ******s like you. No one would be stupid enough to pay you a cent.


They don't have to, I am wealthy and I do volunteer work.
Victoria


That comment wasnt about you.

I just spotted this gem.

You might want to get in touch with one or two farm machinery manufacturers
and ask sales managers to name 10 crops they WISH could be harvested by
machines, because those sales managers' incomes would look mighty nice all
of a sudden if certain things could be picked by machines.

First they would have to make a pepper plant where all the peppers ripen
at the same time.
