Anyone knows if the crops were sold in some kind of kitchen-ready form (e.g. chopped into cubes already)?
I always thought salmonella is mainly an issue with animal-based foods such as meat, eggs, raw milk etc. and that veggies or fruits are only affected indirectly if they are washed with contamined water, fecals etc.
Part of the recall included prepped cut fruit products. I don’t know the full extent of the recall, but that made me think it was kitchen related
Edit:
Weird, it’s a genetic strain. Maybe it’s more susceptible to contamination?
It is a confusing sentence but I think the “genetic strain” is referring to the salmonella.
That makes so much more sense. Thank you.
