FDA declares it's OK to eat tomatoes again

WASHINGTON - It's OK to eat all kinds of tomatoes again, the U.S. government declared Thursday — lifting its salmonella warning on the summer favorites amid signs that the record outbreak, while not over, may finally be slowing.

Hot peppers still get a caution: The people most at risk of salmonella — including the elderly and people with weak immune systems — should avoid fresh jalapenos and serranos, and any dishes that may contain them such as fresh salsa, federal health officials advised.

According to North Carolina on Thursday, July 17, 2008, it's jalapenos and avocados:

State officials on Thursday announced a recall of jalapeno peppers and avocados distributed
in North Carolina following two positive salmonella tests from a Charlotte food distributor. ...

Salmonella illnesses are common; North Carolina has some 2,000 cases each year. But those usually come
from raw eggs, undercooked chicken or simple errors such as a child drinking out of a dog bowl - not
a single-source contamination that has spread nationwide in recent months.

You can't have it both ways: either pet food is contaminated with salmonella and affecting the human food supply or it's not.

Well, Remember N.C. has the most hog houses and it's not really very clean. People from other countries do all the work.
The FDA couldn't find it's own a$s.

So never was tomatoes in the first place. Who had it in for the tomatoe growers in this country?
