I've been reading about the Lenape variety which had to be recalled in the 60's. I wondered if there had been any others.

  1. I know this isn't exactly what you mean, but I lived in Ecuador a few years and up north we had such a bad infestation by the larvae of the Guatemalan Potato Moth that they were largely inedible!

    Here, today, I don't know of any toxins.


  2. Pretty unlikely, now-a-days.  The Nightshade plant ( weed) is poisonous.  It is from the potato family.

  3. the  ones around chenolbe and three mile island and GE varietys from monastos but they havent been recalled yet
