Since it seems to be fairly widespread, you can probably assume it's not
from poor worker sanitation. How about the tomatoes being watered with
water contaminated with animal/cattle feces? Or being processed in a
distribution facility with contaminated water?

Our news said that on-the-vine tomatoes are safe. We've been eating
those for a few weeks (because they've been on sale and taste the most
like real tomatoes) without ill effects. The ones we've had are packed
four to a clear clamshell package and labeled produced in Arizona.
