3wI am always impressed by the US Public Health agencies capacity to quickly link foodborne outbreaks to contaminated food. Food safety is among the lowest scoring IHR capacities in our low-income countries. All sorts of polluted waters are used in vegetable gardening and you better consider all of them as contaminated and take maximum precautions if you opt to eat them raw. I was wondering what the KAP are regarding food hygiene in the communities affected by this salmonella outbreak in the US.
