Sir, - The public is being given plenty of advice by experts on food safety, and in particular how to avoid salmonella.
There has been no mention, however, of the fact that the first and best precaution is to eat free-range and organically grown products. Animals raised in cramped, inhumane and unnatural conditions are not very healthy, and inevitably will pose risks to human health. - Yours, etc., J. S. Glendinning,
Dromderrig, Kinsale, Co Cork.
