On July 30, 2008 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration linked the current Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak to a farm in Mexico. Specifically, Laboratory testing has confirmed that the irrigation water from a farm in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico (business address is in Nuevo Leon, Mexico) contain Salmonella Saintpaul with the same genetic fingerprint as the strain of bacteria that is causing the current outbreak in the United States.
The FDA is advising consumers “until further notice, avoid raw serrano peppers from Mexico, in addition to raw jalapeño peppers from Mexico, and any foods that contain them.”
