I don’t think you would have to worry. It cant get in the food. But make sure you just wash them extremely good before using it!

No, but I should worry about food coming from the Granja Carroll farm (partly U.S. owned) which is being eyed as the possible swine flu ground zero.

Hi ,
You dont have to worry. you can have avocados and brocolli from mexico. Because these are not source for Swine Flu.

People usually get swine flu from infected pigs, human who are closely with pig rare case is human to human interactions.

Better avoid eating pork and pork products.
The swine flu virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 160 F / 70 C.

Crops are not grown in Mexico City. Flu viruses can stay alive on surfaces only a brief period if away from live tissue. There’s no way for a virus to bury itself inside produce. You should be more concerned about washing off produce well to get rid of pesticide residue.

The new swine flu is not so new. The swine flu of concern is a category A influenza, again not some never before seen superflu strain. Current vaccines Relenza and Tamiflu seem to be effective against it so it’s not so dangerously different. The difference is not in the virus but in the way the virus is being spread. Instead of the common pig to human transfer it appears the same virus can spread from human to human. What people don’t seem to be thinking about is that it may mean human resistance has gone down (on the larger group level) to what is really the same virus strain.

It can’t into food. If it did get into food do you think that all the food would have been recalled back by? CDC have said that you can’t get it from food

I’d have to agree with What Can I Say….educating people is the best way to cease fears.
