Here's a prime, recent example of why you're better safe, than sorry:

Here in Seattle, we just recently had an outbreak of salmonella in unpasteurized juice. it happened on a weekend, but by sunday night, the news was saying "it's been contained, if you're not sick, don't worry about it, and all the juice has been accounted for" i think 15 or so people had died at this point

Lucky for me i hadn't purchased any of the Juice, but if i had i would have thrown ANY juice i had, away....better safe than sorry.

Well, a day or two later, 25 or so people were admitted to the hospital, i think some died, and the media changed to "Throw any juice you have, away".

Remember this, if you're still wondering if you should take the safe route or not..... Valkyrie or Bw, who live in the NW, can verify this recent story(heck, they might have even posted something on it)

The article does not indicate anyone died. Please do your homework before posting.

It was on the radio that people died. Get a clue, Dude. "Food poison" kills a lot of people every year. Generally you are lucky if you can find out what the exact food was.
