Dry foods, such as pistachios, spices, cereals, and milk powders, may appear low risk due to their lack of moisture. But in reality, they can harbor dangerous pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and E. coli O157:H7 that can survive for long periods in dry environments (1,2). These organisms don’t need water to persist, and some, like Salmonella, can become more heat-resistant when suspended in low-moisture, high-fat food matrices (3)......
