Getting closer?

Is the FDA traceback investigation getting closer to the source of the contamination? It would appear that some of the quotes from unnamed sources we see in newspaper accounts suggest conviction behind the statement by some that jalapenos are a prime suspect for salmonella contamination. One Nogales marketer told me this afternoon that one of his customers told him a "quarantine" is in place for on jalapenos from one Mexican state; that information is unsubstantiated and could be erroneous, however. We certainly hope the FDA is much more transparent about the status of the investigation in their conference call tomorrow.
