Why are there salmonella outbreaks in onions and peaches? I always assumed bacteria like this was only found in poultry/animal products.  I know when lettuce is recalled because of E. coli it’s generally because animal manure is upstream and leaks onto the lettuce farm... I never see anything mentioned in articles about the actual reason why onions are suddenly contaminated with salmonella. Is it just never mentioned that it’s actually from animal contamination or do onions and peaches naturally produce(?) salmonella? I know this question might not be particularly vegan related, but I always feel like mainstream media ignores connections between bacteria/viruses and animal products.... E. Coli... covid....
