I know two people who have gotten sick from salads in the last week or
two, and they both think it was the tomatoes. Their illnesses were
worse than food poisoning, by lasting several days of throwing up and
diarrhea, but not enough to go to the doctor. One got a salad at
Chili's in MountainView, the second was Carl's Jr. fast food burger.

The fast food and restaurant chains are pulling tomatoes (removing) from
their products. I understand grape and cherry tomatoes are OK.

OMG how can I have an IN-N-OUT or a Tommy's? Blasphemy!


BTW my local grocery store did not get the notice until Saturday Night

I don't understand the mechanism to systemically give tomatoes Salmonella.
Maybe someone can explain.
