No surprise.  Peppers from Mexico caused 1,294 people to be infected with Salmonella Saintpaul in 43 states and Canada. 

Imported food is given preference in our system.  We regulate and inspect U.S. food (justifiably so), and wave the imported food through.  Big cost advantage for the imports, which use banned chemicals and have no inspectors, or few inspectors, or paid off inspectors.

Why did it take so long to find the problem? Is the real issue a coverup so no one is held responsible and liable?
