Salsas and guacamole linked to more foodborne illnesses
Fun quote (for me):
Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia's Center for Food Safety...published a paper on the topic earlier this year. "An unusual finding was if you used fresh garlic and fresh lime juice, it prevented the growth [of bacteria]... "You couldn't use powdered, it had to be fresh..."
