The Food and Drug Administration said Sunday that 145 to 150 people in 16 states have been sickened by salmonellosis, which has been linked to the consumption of raw red tomatoes.
The FDA initially issued a warning June 3 about tomatoes in New Mexico and Texas. Saturday, officials expanded the warning nationwide.
There were 25 hospitalizations but no deaths. The cause is a rare strain of salmonella called Salmonella Saintpaul.
"We're trying to get an answer as quickly as possible as to where these tomatoes came from," says David Acheson, director of the FDA's Food Safety and Security Staff.

@ Valor
Is it correct to assume that if 2 warnings are released for the same vegetable it will count as 1 toward the total?
Yes, that was my intent.

In common use, many are both a fruit and a vegetable.
Personally, I don't think it's the case itself that is the weirdest part. It's the fact that newswrangler actually knew to turn to Supreme Court caselaw. Who woulda thunk it? That's what I call resourceful.
Add onions to the list and we'd have a great recipe for fresh "salmonella salsa!"

so, as mrperfkt said, "salmonella salsa" anyone?
salmonella + tequilla = Okay. lol
This really puts a damper on my plans to go to my favorite Mexican place this week!
my fav TexMex place serves the best margaritas! with a shot or two of jose cuervo on the side, you should be fine.
haha
stop it v&h!
i've got some DOW markets to watch, and now i really, really need to go to either Molina's or Ninfa's.
can anyone say Chile Rellenos and Spinach Enchiladas?
Sounds good...after the 10's digit questions are over, of course.
Back to the DOW momentarily...although this market has left me wanting a margarita! Crazy...up, down, up, down...
:(
I was born and raised on the lower-east side, but never tried any Mexican food until I moved to Los Angeles.
seems you've got to be somewhere in TX, NM, AZ, or CA to get what you need in the way of 'authentic' Mexican Food.
I wasn't born in Texas, but i got here as soon as I could. ;)
