Outbreaks and recalls

A sushi related outbreak of Salmonella across 19 states, with pushing 100 reported illnesses. Ingredient hasn't been pegged yet, but ... raw food=riskier. On that note, Bruce and I had ahi poke last night. Heh. Whatwhat? follow my own advice?

And speaking of raw=risky, yet another raw milk recall. This one due to salmonella in Pennsylvania.

We're 3-for-3 here, with the Salmonella today. Castellini is recalling jalapeno peppers sold in full case, 1/2 case, 20lb, 10lb, 5lb, 2lb, and 1lb package sizes and distributed during the period March 8, 2012 through March 20, 2012 to military commissaries, retailers and foodservice distributors within ten states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Finally some other contenders! 1100 pounds of stuffed, layered beef products with Listeria are being recalled by Mosul Kubba in Chicago.

Hmm. Nope. Guess that was ust a single gap in an otherwise solid wall of Salmonella. Salmonella Salsa, anyone? Club Chef LLC is recalling its 12 oz., 16 oz. and 5 lb. salsa products.

Not even the fish are safe! (Heh. Just realized after typing it that this could as easily refer to the first one up there as this one...) Wardley's Tropical Flake Fish Food is also being recalled due to Salmonella.

Book Review

Finished Raven's Strike by Patricia Briggs. This was the second in a duology...you may infer from the part where I finished the second book that I liked the first. :D
I am generally fond of Patricia Briggs' work, and as usual was quickly caught up in her characters, and found it difficult to stop reading at sleeping time. I did think this one was a tad more predictable than many of her other books, as I had identified the "secret bad guy" long before the reveal. That didn't prevent me from enjoying the reading though, just that I had a couple moments of wanting to grab a character by the shoulder and shake them to draw their attention to something they should have seen. heh.

And now, on to Boneshaker by Cherie Priest.
