For me? If the tomato doesn't have a label on it where it was grown, I'd
be
a little leary of eating a round tomato at this point. Florida's &
California's have been completely approved for consumption, but how do you
know the one tomato you have in your 'fridge right now wasn't grown in
Mexico, Texas, New Mexico - etc.?
In any case, I hope they find the source of the salmonella, but between
this
tomato scare, and the previous spinach, lettuce, and green onion panic,
how
can you make sure that your food is safe anymore? We all can't grow our
own. Kinda puts a damper on the whole fresh food thing, you know?
