WASHINGTON - The outbreak of salmonella poisoning that sickened more than 1,300 people across the country and cost American tomato growers more than $300 million has been traced to peppers grown on a farm in Mexico, federal officials said yesterday.
"Now we have a smoking gun, it appears," said Lonnie King, who directs investigations of food-borne illnesses at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
David Acheson, the head of food safety at the Food and Drug Administration, said the strain of Salmonella Saintpaul that caused the nationwide outbreak has been found in irrigation water and serrano peppers on a Mexican farm. Earlier, a contaminated jalapeno pepper had been traced to the Mexican grower.
Consumers should not eat jalapeno and serrano peppers imported from Mexico, Acheson told the Horticulture and Organic Agriculture Subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee.
Members questioned Acheson and King sharply about why it had taken since May to track down the source of the food poisoning and whether they were mistaken all along in associating the illness with tomatoes.
The warning from the federal agencies led to a mass removal of tomatoes from grocery market bins and restaurant menus and cost the industry more than $300 million, said subcommittee chairman Dennis Cardoza, a California Democrat. He asked Acheson if a single contaminated tomato was ever found.
"No," Acheson said.
But he refused to completely clear tomatoes. He said tomatoes as well as jalapeno and serrano peppers were grown on the Mexican farm in the state of Tamaulipas with contaminated irrigation water and that tomatoes were processed through the same packing center in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, so it was "plausible" that some of the illnesses could have been caused by tomatoes.
King said the CDC's first series of interviews "indicated raw tomatoes were the most commonly consumed food item - reported by 84 percent of ill persons - leading to the hypothesis that they were a possible source of the illnesses."
On July 21, however, a genetic match with the Salmonellas Saint paul was found in a jalapeno pepper. And now another type of pepper has been implicated. But the officials still wouldn't admit that their agencies had been wrong on tomatoes.
"It appears likely that more than one food vehicle is involved," said King. "The outbreak appears to be ongoing, but with fewer new illnesses each day."
Rep. Tim Mahoney, a Florida Democrat, told the officials that tomato growers in Florida had lost $47 million because the federal warning.
"You understand that crop insurance doesn't cover this," he said pointedly.
The CDC and FDA were criticized by members from both parties.
"This incident demonstrated that our governing food safety authorities are outdated and must be reformed," said Rep. Adam H. Putnam, a Florida Republican.
"Despite the fact that nearly all spinach was harmless in 2006, and the vast majority of jalapenos are probably safe now, and the distinct possibility that not a single tomato was ever contaminated, growers and distributors suffered catastrophic losses," said Rep. Diana DeGette, a Colorado Democrat.
The fact that it took more than two months and more than 1,300 illnesses to trace the cause of the outbreak "is extremely troubling," especially considering the attention and funds focused on the process under the Bioterrorism Act, said Cardoza, the subcommittee chairman.
"Clearly serious flaws continue to exist in the methodology used by some states to collect primary epidemiological data," he said. "Furthermore, the process used by the CDC to verify and refine the collected data calls into serious question the effectiveness of communications between the states, CDC and FDA."
King said some states do get data to the CDC faster than others. In half of these cases, he said, it took more than 16 days from the time the person fell ill to the time the DNA footprint of their salmonella was added to the PulseNet database used by the CDC and states.
And in this case, the suspected foods are often eaten together - tomatoes and peppers are both part of many salsa and guacamole recipes, he noted.
When fresh produce is suspected as the source, he said, there is none left around to test for contamination, as there would be for frozen or processed foods.
He said this has been the nation's largest food-borne outbreak of salmonella investigation in a decade and was "especially complex, difficult and prolonged."

A sheltered teenager has an existential crisis while riding out the apocalypse aboard her father's private ark in this dystopian debut novel.
Sixteen-year-old Lalage "Lalla" Paul lives comfortably in a secure flat with her wealthy parents, Anna and Michael. Outside, the environment is in ruins, resources are scarce, and the military-run government performs mass executions to reduce the population. Intent on providing a better life—and eventual death—for his family, Michael purchases a ship, stocks it with supplies, and selects 500 virtuous people to fill its berths; Anna, however, maintains it's their moral obligation to stay in London and help the less fortunate. When someone shoots Anna through the living room window, Michael and Lalla carry her onto the ship, where she succumbs to her injury. The ship's passengers then do battle with British troops and a starving mob before heading out to sea. Michael (who becomes a quasi-cult leader known as "Father") encourages his new flock to forget the past and enjoy the present, but Lalla stubbornly refuses, whining about the lack of adversity, fixating on what's happening back home, and obsessing over where the ship is headed. Even falling in love isn't enough to distract the petulant, ungrateful Lalla from her endless cycle of adolescent angst and petty rebellion.
After a harrowing launch, Honeywell's tale sails into the doldrums and sinks under the weight of haphazard plotting, uneven pacing, and subpar character work.

There was quite a bit of speculation about how the Critical Mass ride after the Aloha Incident would go down. Would the police try to bust everybody not wearing a helmet? Would it be another case of When Cyclists Attack? Would drivers revolt and start mowing down the mass? I'm happy to report that none of that happened, and that the ride went off very well. Personally, I'd love it if we can keep a police presence on the ride, al a Vancouver, who seem to have hit a good stride for handling mass rides. Photo from Bombnumber19
There was more police presence than normal, including cops on bike, motorcycles, and a few cars. The police handed out pamphlets highlighting laws related to cycling, and asked us all to stay away from the stadiums where there were games going on. During the ride they rode with us, mostly near the end but also escorting and stopping at intersections to
cork control traffic. As for the riders, I'd say the several hundred attendees were on pretty darn good behavior, mostly staying out of the oncoming lane of traffic, smiling and waving, and sticking together as a pretty compact group most of the time. As per usual there was a fair bit of support from the other road users, I personally delivered about ten high-fives to various car drivers. There were also a few disgruntleddrivers, although I really only saw a few cases of people being actively upset.
