[Johnna Holloway]

The New York Times for Friday, May 15th, 2009
has a major article on food safety on the front page.
Food Companies Try, but Can’t Guarantee Safety

One item that caught my eye was this statement:
"Now, white pepper is being blamed for dozens of salmonella illnesses on 
the West Coast, where a widening recall 
<http://ww2.cdph.ca.gov/pubsforms/Documents/fdbFrUIFn.pdf> includes 
other spices and six tons of frozen egg rolls.

<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/15/business/15ingredients.html?ref=todayspaper> 



It turns out Lian How Brand Spices and Uncle Chen’s Brand White Pepper 
and Black Pepper among other spices are being recalled due to Potential 
salmonella contamination.
