Just saw this too.
I'm bummed because I was planning on making a few tacos with some of that pork butt I smoked the other day and haven't yet picked up my cilantro or jalapenos.
 
yup me too maters and peppers in the front yard-and never worried bout death-beats th BS we liveing in.
 
I'm sure I got that and don't know from what 2 weeks ago. 4 days and nites on the throne straight.

Still not over it yet. I was sick with no energy or appetite for many days since. I know the same night we had a salad with some tomatoes, but I bought the "safe ones" with the vines. Wife was fine, but I am on meds to surpress my immune system for a skin rash. I may go to the doc this week, but that probably means more meds.

One med after another. If I wasan't on the first, I probably would have been fine.

Take whatever precaution you have to.

I don't eat Japs so that was not an issue.

Thanks for the heads up.

Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up! Now if I get the angry-a$$ this week, I'll know it was from those tasty ABT's I had Sunday :'(
 
I suspect that IF jalapenos are the culprit we will find out that whatever the peppers were used in were not cooked to a safe temp.

Since ABT's are smoked at 200+ for at least one hour (sometimes longer) I would think that the temp would get high enough (165*) to kill the Salmonella bacteria.

I am not a Scientist....and I did not play one on TV....got the info from the link below.

COOK: Cook to Safe Temperatures
Use a clean food thermometer when measuring the internal temperature of meat, poultry, casseroles, and other foods to make sure they have reached a safe minimum internal temperature:
  • Beef, veal, and lamb steaks, roasts, and chops to 145 °F.
  • All cuts of pork to 160 °F.
  • Ground beef, veal and lamb to 160 °F.
  • Egg dishes, casseroles to 160 °F.
  • All poultry should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F.
  • Stuffed poultry is not recommended. Cook stuffing separately to 165 °F.
  • Leftovers to 165 °F.
  • Fish should reach 145 °F as measured with a food thermometer.
  • Bring sauces, soups, and gravy to a boil when reheating.
  • Reheat other leftovers thoroughly to at least 165 °F.
 
They are stressing not to eat them raw, like luv said ABT's are cooked long enough they should be relatively safe
