Default Do your tomatoes have salmonella?

What started as a two-state warning about contaminated raw red tomatoes on June 3rd has now spread nationwide. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about 150 people in 16 states have been sickened by a rare strain of salmonella called Salmonella Saintpaul. The FDA has not tracked the contaminated tomatoes to a single source but is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to find the cause of this food-borne outbreak. Read on for more information to see if you need to toss your tomatoes!

Are all tomatoes off-limits?

You don’t have to go tomato-free but you do need to be aware of the tomatoes under suspicion. The FDA recommends consuming raw red plum, raw red Roma, or raw red round tomatoes only if grown and harvested from the areas that have not been associated with the outbreak.
