Salmonella Outbreak Linked To Tempeh

We have received many concern from our readers and customers asking about the Salmonella Outbreak in North Carolina in May 2012. 

YES, we admit that the Salmonella Paratyphi B from the tempeh starter has caused the outbreak. But we noticed that starter may contanimated or so called unpasteurized tempeh.

It can happen to anyone and we hope that all of us can avoid such incident by keep the production clean and tidy.
