People were suddenly getting salmonella at Minnesota and no one had a clue of what caused it. A thorough investigation has found out that jalapeño was the main villain.
Reports of salmonella began flowing into Minnesota’s state health department on June 23 and it was suspected that tomatoes could be the real villain, but it turned out the other way.
The health department sprang into action and each and every restaurant was quizzed for their menus. People who had dined at the various restaurants were interviewed and invoices checked for any trace of the villain. The investigation turned out that jalapeno was sprinkled over all the food items and after a statistical comparison, the red pepper was announced the villain.
It has also been found out that the pepper had been shipped from Mexico and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention sounded a red alert asking people to completely avoid jalapeno.
The speedy action of the health department needs to be applauded; it is a great lesson for any public health system of how to handle an adverse situation. The team at the public health department had done a tremendous job or it could have spread nation wide.
