===Salmonella contamination===
===Salmonella contamination===
A study by the [[Food and Drug Administration]] of shipments of spices to the United States during fiscal years 2007–2009 showed about 7% of the shipments were contaminated by ''[[Salmonella]]'' bacteria, some of it antibiotic-resistant. As most spices are cooked before being served salmonella contamination often has no effect, but some spices, particularly pepper, are often eaten raw and present at table for convenient use. Shipments from Mexico and India, a major producer, were the most frequently contaminated. [[Food irradiation]] is said to minimise this risk.
