I didn't know about the tomato/salmonella problem

I'm in buffalo new york and Applebee's said they weren't serving them either. I didn't notice at the grocery store, but I heard cherry, grape & any tomato sold on the vines were ok.

I just saw this on the news today. They say that the tomatoes grown here, in Florida, are ok. A few restaurant owners that were on the news today said they threw their stock of tomatoes and had some shipped from Canada to be safe. McDonalds and Burger King were pulling their tomatoes, too, to be safe.

Yes. I read that too about the ones 'on the vine' and I bought some of those. I ate one yesterday on a sandwich and I haven't had any of the symptoms that are indicated, although I am not feeling well, it started before I ate the tomato.

It has gotten to the point to where I feel the only truly 'safe' way is to grow your own, but those dang horn worms always destroy my tomato plants. Next year I may try a few different things. I shoould become a vegetarian and just eat my own produce. I just don't think that's going to be happening, though.
