hi folks,
since many CH listers ( like me ) have a fondness for salsa,
guacamole, refried beans etc., i thought to pass along this item
about a shigella sonnei outbreak.
...might just save someone from an upset tummy.
the product :
Seņor Felix's Mexican Foods* (Baldwin Park, California) and distributed
under the
brand names Seņor Felix's 5-Layer Party Dip (sold in 16-ounce, 20-ounce,
and 41-ounce containers),
Delicioso 5-Layer Party Dip (33-ounce containers), and Trader Joe's
5-Layer Party Dip (20-ounce
containers). The dip consists of layers of bean, salsa, guacamole, nacho
cheese, and sour cream.
Public Health Dispatch: Outbreak of Shigella sonnei
Infections Associated with Eating a Nationally Distributed
Dip --- California, Oregon, and Washington, January 2000
