Last year, there were nearly 200 confirmed cases of salmonella tied to tainted hummus at the Taste of Chicago -- the first outbreak of food-borne illness at the festival in 20 years.
City officials on Thursday said the Taste is the city's most closely scrutinized outdoor food event, where a typical booth is inspected no fewer than four times a day.
"When there's any doubt, we throw it out," said Dr. Terry Mason, head of the Chicago Public Health Department.
Still, it doesn't hurt to take a few precautions at this year's food fest to lower your risk of getting sick.
