Food poisoning kills 5,000 Americans; a food poisoning lawyer bites back
Food poisoning scares come and go, but none should be taken lightly. According to the Food and Drug Administration, about 5,000 Americans annually die due to some form of poisoning in the food they eat. Whether it’s from bad beef, tainted tomatoes or putrid peanuts doesn’t matter. Food can be dangerous — and that’s dead [...]
Nuts! Another possible salmonella source — in pistachios
First, peanut butter. Then, tomatoes. Then, peanut butter again. Now, pistachios?

Rats, roaches taint peanuts in salmonella food poisoning scare
To eat, or not to eat? That’s hardly the question, since we must ingest and imbibe to survive. But with America rocked by another salmonella food poisoning outbreak, questions do arise. One is, “How bad is it?” Another is, “What do we do now?”

A salmonella lawyer eyes food poisoning’s “smoking gun”
When an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning struck thousands of Americans last fall, federal investigators spent months seeking the proverbial “smoking gun.” In short, they spent months trying to pinpoint the origin and responsibility of an onslaught which sickened and even killed.
First they targeted tomatoes, and eventually jalapeno peppers, then Serrano peppers. Finally the “smoking [...]
Salmonella can kill, but in the U.S. it brings no death sentence
American food suppliers involved in the peanut butter salmonella food poisoning outbreak can count themselves lucky that they live here and not in China. In China today, a court condemned two men to execution and another person to life in prison for their roles in China’s recent tainted milk calamity.
