Ugh. Looks like our industrial food system is cranking out the salmonella for broad distribution again. That’s the word from the latest Food and Drug Administration consumer alert. The current culprit: tomatoes. Where? Texas and New Mexico. Oh, and maybe Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and Utah, too.
Thank goodness I know my tomato growers. You can know yours, too. Check out Local Harvest and the Eatwell Guide. It’s also not too late to plant your own.
