An outbreak of salmonella food poisoning first linked to uncooked tomatoes has now been reported in nine states, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.





Lab tests have confirmed 40 illnesses in Texas and New Mexico as the same type of salmonella, right down to the genetic fingerprint.

Thirty people have become sick with the same Salmonella Saintpaul infection in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Illinois and Indiana. CDC investigators are looking into whether tomatoes were culprits there, too.

I heard about this AFTER we last went grocery shopping. The funny thing is, the only thing on the list we forgot were the tomatoes. Our neighbor offered us several from her garden, so fortunately, we never ended up buying any from the store as we had intended. Thanks for the link.
