mstar1 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Be careful out there! Salmonella outbreak prompts FDA tomato warning Health officials warned consumers Sunday about an outbreak of salmonella in raw tomatoes, after the illness of one woman in Contra Costa County and 144 other infections nationwide.The source of the tomatoes is still unknown, but officials believe that large tomatoes, including Roma and round red, are carrying the strain, Salmonella sereotype Saintpaul, that has infected 145 people since mid-April. Red plum tomatoes also may be affected, according to a statement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA is recommending limiting raw tomato consumption to those that are not the likely source of the outbreak, including cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with their vine attached and homegrown tomatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
