Poison pawpaw sickens 7 with Salmonella in Australia
I’ve had pawpaw when in Australia. It’s yummy. And like other fresh produce, can be an excellent source of Salmonella.
The West Australian Department of Health issued a statement on Tuesday saying seven cases of salmonella poisoning linked to the tropical fruit had been uncovered over the past six weeks.
WA environmental health director Jim Dodds said,
"Wash all pawpaws with running tap water immediately before eating, this includes pawpaw that has been cut prior to purchasing. After cutting pawpaw at home thoroughly wash hands, cutting boards and knives."
That's nice. And prevent Salmonella from gettiing on the pawpaw on the farm.
