Wood ear mushrooms seem to be the culprit behind the latest Salmonella outbreak. Your wood ear mushrooms, that is, until you’ve seen Thursday’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announcement. The ear-y link is that dried wood ear mushrooms distributed from Wismettac Asian Foods, Inc. seem to be the culprit. This year, I’ve already written for Forbes about a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak that’s been just peachy and a Salmonella Newport outbreak that’s been in the red, red onions, that is. If you do have wood ear mushrooms, make sure that your wrap them safely and either return or discard them.
