Salmonella in Asheville tempeh came from outside source, says Dept. of Agriculture (updated)
Today, the Buncombe County Department of Health confirmed that the salmonella discovered in Smiling Hara tempeh matches the Paratyphi B strain that has sickened 46 people. Although all Smiling Hara products have been removed from restaurants and stores, the case number rises every day, mostly from person-to-person contact. UPDATE: The salmonella has been identified as originating from the starter culture used in the tempeh-making process.
