The investigation into the source of Salmonella Paratyphi B linked to Smiling Hara Tempeh now focuses on a Maryland company who distributed a fungal starter culture used to make the product. According to the Citizen-Times, North Carolina Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Services identified the distributor as Tempeh Online of Rockville MD.

I'm getting a lot of questions now about canine aspects of this recall, so I've addressed my take on some of the important issues below. Can Salmonella cause disease in dogs? Absolutely. The common myth about dogs being immune to Salmonella (mainly found on raw food sites) is just that, a myth. Dogs can and do get Salmonellainfections.

Abstract

Turtles in the 1960s and 1970s were inexpensive, popular, and low maintenance pets, with an array of groovy pre-molded plastic housing designs to choose from. Invariably they would escape, only to be found days later behind the couch along with the skeleton of the class bunny my younger sister brought home from kindergarten one weekend. Maybe I got sick from my turtle.
