WebMD Health News Reviewed by Louise Chang, MDJuly 9, 2008 -- The CDC today warned that people at high risk of severe cases of salmonella infection -- infants, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems -- should not eat raw jalapeno peppers or raw serrano peppers because of the ongoing salmonella outbreak.
"Other persons who want to reduce their risk of salmonella infection can take similar precautions," Robert Tauxe, MD, MPH, deputy director of the FDA's Division of Foodborne, Bacterial, and Mycotic Diseases, said today at a news conference.
That doesn't mean that tomatoes are off the hook.

Being a huge fan of salsa, I've been trying more and more in recent years to make my own, using fresh ingredients that provide the best flavor and taste. And when I stumbled across this recipe today, I fell in love with it. It's from Simply Homemade Food Gifts and I really like the idea of making my own salsa, keeping some for myself and packaging up the rest as a gift for someone else.
