Okay, then what?

Seems the salmonella outbreak may not have been tomatoes after all. Tomato growers are pissed.
As sicknesses continue beyond the shelf life of tomatoes — it’s been almost three months since the first salmonella case — officials are also starting to question whether another vegetable is to blame. “We’re broadening the investigation to be sure it encompasses food items that are commonly consumed with tomatoes,” Robert Tauxe of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Several state health officials echoed those concerns in comments to The Baltimore Sun today: “It’s bad, and I think everyone will be very apologetic” if it turns out tomatoes weren’t the source, said Tim Jones, Tennessee’s state epidemiologist, describing himself as “increasingly concerned” about whether tomatoes are to blame.

Rico says he'll be happy once they get this sorted out. He misses a nice tomato...
