Thanks for the information on the recall
Jane Velez-Mitchell (who is a vegan and eats no eggs or animal products) is sure to have a field day with this on her show tonight “Issues.” I don’t think you can actually get salmonella from fruits or vegetables unless they come into contact with animal manure or animal products. Issues is a good show. I learn a lot.

“I don’t think you can actually get salmonella from fruits or vegetables unless they come into contact with animal manure or animal products. ”
However they get contaminated, a lot of the foods that have been involved in past Salmonella outbreaks have included vegan foods. Unless you grow ALL of your own foods, you will likely not be immune from the chances of getting food poisoning.
Sources of past outbreaks of Salmonella have included:
Pistachios
Cantaloupe
Raw Alfalfa Sprouts
Peanut Butter
Tomatoes
Veggie Bootie Snacks
Jalapeno Peppers
Not to mention E.coli affecting lettuce last year.
