UPDATE, July 18, 2008 – The FDA has revised its June 7 warning regarding the outbreak of Salmonella serotype Saintpaul possibly linked to the consumption of certain types of fresh tomatoes. The FDA now says that consumers may resume enjoying any type of fresh tomato, including raw red plum, raw red Roma, and raw red round tomatoes.
Consumers in "vulnerable" populations (including infants, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems) are still warned against eating jalapeño and serrano peppers as a possible link through these foods continues to be investigated.
For more information, please see the FDA webpage on the outbreak here.
