It was on the news today. Tomatoes in general are contaminated with E-coli but they don't know where.

"FDA Warns Consumers Nationwide Not to Eat Certain Types of Raw Red Tomatoes

The Food and Drug Administration is expanding its warning to consumers nationwide that a salmonellosis outbreak has been linked to consumption of certain raw red plum, red Roma, and red round tomatoes, and products containing these raw, red tomatoes.

FDA recommends that consumers not eat raw red Roma, raw red plum, raw red round tomatoes, or products that contain these types of raw red tomatoes unless the tomatoes are from the sources listed below. If unsure of where tomatoes are grown or harvested, consumers are encouraged to contact the store where the tomato purchase was made. Consumers should continue to eat cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, or tomatoes grown at home.

On June 5, using traceback and other distribution pattern information, FDA published a list of states, territories, and countries where tomatoes are grown and harvested which have not been associated with this outbreak. This updated list includes: Arkansas, California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Belgium, Canada, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Israel, Netherlands, and Puerto Rico. The list is available at http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopi...html#retailers. This list will be updated as more information becomes available.

FDA’s recommendation does not apply to the following tomatoes from any source: cherry, grape, and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached.

FDA recommends that retailers, restaurateurs, and food service operators not offer for sale and service raw red Roma, raw red plum, and raw red round tomatoes unless they are from the sources listed above. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, may continue to be offered from any source.

Since mid April, there have been 145 reported cases of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella Saintpaul nationwide, including at least 23 hospitalizations. States reporting illnesses linked to the outbreak include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Salmonella Saintpaul is an uncommon type of Salmonella.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections particularly in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, the organism can get into the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses. Consumers who have recently eaten raw tomatoes or foods containing raw tomatoes and are experiencing any of these symptoms should contact their health care provider. All Salmonella infections should be reported to state or local health authorities.

FDA recognizes that the source of the contaminated tomatoes may be limited to a single grower or packer or tomatoes from a specific geographic area. FDA also recognizes that there are many tomato crops across the country and in foreign countries that will be ready for harvest or will become ready in the coming months. In order to ensure that consumers can continue to enjoy tomatoes that are safe to eat, FDA is working diligently with the states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Indian Health Service, and various food industry trade associations to quickly determine the source of the tomatoes associated with the outbreak.

FDA is taking these actions while the agency continues to investigate this outbreak with state and federal partners. Such actions are a key component of FDA’s Food Protection Plan, a scientific and risk-based approach to strengthen and protect the nation’s food supply."

when i go to wawa i get just tomatos in a bag. eat them. and i feel great

[PhillySVT]

you are all good....Their was a recall on tomatoes so most places pulled their tomatoes and trashed them. My company did even though ours werent involved with the recall. It just a CYA that companys do whenever something like this happens with vegtables.

[YellowMSP]

i was at sonic today and they said they pulled the tomatoes from everything

Wawa can be evil, but Perkins can be the death of you. I ordered a burger there once and it ruined my New Years Eve. So sick I ended up in the ER for a night, and slept for two days. Now I stick to quesadillas and chicken tender melts.

[DC Hunny5]

everything has pretty much pulled tomatoes off of their menu until the contamination is controlled.
McDonalds, Wendys, Numerous sit down restaurants have.

It's just a precaution right now. Until, that specific wawa posted a sign saying that someone who has purchased food from them and gotten sick, i wouldn't worry.

[frosti108]

i was at a subway near englishtown today, and they didnt have any tomatoes for my 5 dollar foot long cold cut combo. i was bummed but i guess id rather not have diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

[DPancoast]

meh, wawa rules the world. I love their tomato and brocoli/cheese soup, I love the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, and the milkshakes....... anndddd I love the breakfast ciabatta melts.

Yeah Im a wawa whore basically

[GeforceXtreme]

My dad was at BK today and there was a sign that said no Tomatoes were being sold.

[martang]

We threw out all of out diced tomatoes today even though we get our tomatoes from a different supplier than this is supposed to be from. We also kept getting a call telling us to throw away all our tomatoes like all night.

[Menacing_Gc8]

I just got back from Wawa and there were NO signs ANYWHERE about why the products were pulled.. This was BOTH locations in Thorndale/Caln .. Only the products were removed.. But Nothing as to why they were removed or anything... and If you ask, They brush it off and Give some random " we are in the process of changing over" excuse... just So ya know..

THings may change in the morning when the managers are in, but thats what I got a few minutes ago

[Jeff822]

I'm not a big fan of WaWa hoagies anyways and I absolutely HATE tomatos. But there open face turkey and mashed potatos FTW.
