How Did Salmonella Get Into Our Food!!

I will tell everyone who will listen about my little garden! I finally became a homeowner, so now I can continue the Works family tradition of farming. I have garlic, onions, kale, peppers, beef tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, eggplants, romaine red lettuce, squash, and cucumbers.

Recently, I harvested a colossal cucumber. Then a few hours later, I saw a news alert regarding whole, fresh cucumber recalls due to potential Salmonella contamination.

Food Safety Reminders: - Always wash raw fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating. - Keep raw produce separated from raw meat, poultry, and seafood. - Stay informed about food recalls from the FDA and CDC.
