FDA Looking How Salmonella Ended Up in Tomatoes – attack of the killer tomatoes?

The outcome here remains to be seen.  From Florida to California, and now the fast food chains are also removing tomatoes.  The smaller Cherry Tomatoes and a couple others still are listed as ok.  There’s a movie several years old and I couldn’t help but somehow include the trailer with this story, humorous, but hopefully a bit of humor will keep the warnings up front in our minds, and I hate to admit, but I actually own a copy of this movie.  The attack of the killer tomatoes trailer.  They were ahead of their time.   BD 

The list of stores that have stopped using tomatoes is staggering: WalMart and major grocery stores. McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway, Red Lobster, Olive Garden and local restaurants. The FDA has ruled out 19 states, 6 countries and Puerto Rico, but still does not know what caused the salmonella that made 145 people sick and sent 23 to the hospital since mid-April. Those cases spread from California to Connecticut.
