Didn't like 'em anyway

Apparently the pepper problem is just getting worse; now the FDA is reporting salmonella in serrano peppers from Mexico (along with tainted irrigation water) too...

Rico says fortunately he doesn't like any of them pepper things, so no loss there... But the Mesticans are waffling hard:

"Mexico's Agriculture Department disputed the FDA's conclusion that the source of the salmonella outbreak had been found in the Nuevo Leon farm's irrigation water. In a statement released Wednesday, Mexican agriculture officials said, "The farm unit in question ended its harvest more than a month ago, so the sample they say they have lacks scientific validity." The statement added that the sample "was taken recently from a tank holding rain water that was not used in production."
