Seven people were hospitalized but no deaths have been reported. Those who were sickened bought the vegetables in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Uber lib sanctuary city, Austin, TX has had a rash of feces contaminated restaurant food in the past couple of months. Gee can’t imagine why. Yeah, I got hit with it, ugh. There’s a reason I avoid eating out.
Remember a few years ago when not funny man, George Lopez, did his HBO show in San Antonio. His big joke was illegals picking produce for gringos and wiping it on their butts.
It’s not like cutting up your own veggies is that difficult.
Just remember that your entire bathroom is covered in a layer of feces residue. Unless you only flush with the lid closed and you clean it every day.
Yeah, but it’s OUR feces residue! 8D
Mine also has two litter boxes in it. But, unlike many, I am always washing my hands. Especially when coming home from being in town. I wash my hands immediately when getting home from grocery shopping. Then again after putting the food away. And wash produce when using it but still prefer it cooked.
Ugh, just say no to the bagged stuff.
Now, let me see...how on earth could those vegetables become contaminated? Hand washing, hand washing, hand washing. After the veggies have had their antiseptic bath, they shouldn’t be touched by ungloved hands. But if you don’t wash your hands correctly, then applying the gloves contaminates them, unless they don them with one hand (no), or use aseptic technique (hahahahahahaha!) All comes down to excellent training and scrupulous attention to detail. A good work ethic. Sadly, not always a high priority. It’s a wonder everything we buy isn’t contaminated.
Hint. You don't get Cyclospora from chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It's an 'organic' item.
The gloved hands are a joke also. What if the gloved hand scratches it’s face or butt and then proceeds to handle food? What if the gloved hand sneezes?
The gloved hand is good only to protect the hand and not the stuff it handles.
As someone who has eaten homegrown produce all my life, I’m a fanatic about it being ultra-fresh-snd there is no way that green stuff shipped in a bag is ultra fresh-so even if it were not a potential garden of e-coli and botulism, I won’t buy the stuff...
The wifey and I eat brunch regularly at this place nearby after church. Good food. However, I prepared a fruit plate. As I was eating, there was a slight crunch in the raspberry. GAHHH! It was a stink bug!! That’s right. I no longer care for cilantro!! Way too close to smell.
Here is SW Arizona there are signs all over public bathrooms telling people to put used toilet paper in the toilet. They don't.
They follow their culturally diverse local traditions of throwing it on the bathroom floor.
Build the wall!!

Disgusting. Even more so, are those who use their bare hands to wipe.
