I doubt very highly if this is a genetic problem as its related to
salmonella.

I asked my local store if their salad tomatoes were local - they said the
heirloom were but the salad ones were from Mexico - hint- hint.

I have no idea the cause. I called my local store and threw away 4 nice
ones. Well so much for the BLT'S planned for tonight. :-(
