"The tomato scare may be over, but it has taken a toll — it's cost the industry an estimated $100 million and left millions of people with a new wariness about the safety of everyday foods.""The Food and Drug Administration has declared that raw tomatoes are again safe to eat. The Food and Drug Administration declared on Thursday that it is again safe to eat all tomatoes now on sale in the U.S., canceling its warning in June that some tomatoes were the cause of a still-unsolved outbreak of salmonella poisoning. At the same time, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that those who are young, elderly or who suffer from weak immune systems should not eat fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers, because the latest scientific detective work points to those peppers as a source of this particular strain of the bacteria, Salmonella Saintpaul. That warning includes fresh peppers in such foods as salsa."
