Yeah, salmonella and E coli are both food borne and there have been some major outbreaks in the past year (jalapenos last summer, peanuts and pistachios recently) but influenza binds to a specific receptor in lung epithelial cells. So eating produce contaminated with fecal matter will give you all sorts of other nasty diseases, but not influenza. =P
