> information reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration shows that slivered onions are a likely source of contamination

Meat 1, veggies 0?

Similarly, I’d feel kind of funny getting food poisoning from a salad and not my burger.

Death by food poisoning is such an unfair part of life. Most don’t even think about it since it has become so uncommon.

I recently have been reading about food preservation (canning, mostly). If you follow all of the steps perfectly you’re probably fine. If you make even a small innocent deviation you might be risking your life & others.

And you would think a established food chain would be safer to eat than from the vendor across the street due to them coming under heavier scrutinization from regulatory food health agencies.

I've got to say I have an uneasy feeling reading this right after wolfing down a double quarter pounder with cheese...

Luckily Florida is not on that list... at least not yet

given how highly that food is already processed i wonder why they don't sprinkle it with some non-toxic antiseptic or antibacterial nano-powder or something along those lines.
