"Salmonellosis Outbreak in Certain Types of Tomatoes"

"The Food and Drug Administration is alerting consumers nationwide that a salmonellosis outbreak appears to be linked to consumption of certain types of raw red tomatoes and products containing raw red tomatoes. The bacteria causing the illnesses are Salmonella serotype Saintpaul, an uncommon type of Salmonella.

The specific type and source of tomatoes are under investigation. However, preliminary data suggest that raw red plum, raw red Roma, or raw round red tomatoes are the cause. At this time, consumers should limit their tomato consumption to tomatoes that have not been implicated in the outbreak. These include cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, and tomatoes grown at home."

By August, it should all be cleared up. And I'm wondering where these tomatoes were grown.

You are welcome, everyone. DesFIP, searching for the location of either the farms or the shipping company is part of the investigation. People have been hospitalized in several states.
