Marketers Take Note. ‘Lets Get Healthy Together’ Sprouts had Salmonella. EEEK…
Here is the Marketer’s worst nightmare. They decide to call their alfalfa sprouts “Let’s Grow Healthy Together”, only it turns out the sprouts are carrying salmonella. I guess that wasn’t quite what they had in mind. If you live in Texas, throw this stuff out.
The rest of us will have a good laugh. A sobering laugh, but a laugh never the less, just thinking about the fact that a so-called organic “healthy” product can be as deadly dangerous as the worst processed food.
I swear. Sometimes it looks like our only alternative is Stone soup.
From the USDA:
