Salmonella Found in Tomotoes Lawsuit

57 Reported Cases in New Mexico and Texas

Salmonella Found In Red Tomatoes

Certain types of raw red tomatoes and products containing raw red tomatoes have been found to contain the Salmonella serotype Saintpaul. The FDA issued an alert on June 3, warning residents in New Mexico and Texas specifically about this.

From April 23 though June 1, 2008, there have been 57 reported cases of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella Saintpaul in New Mexico and Texas, including 17 hospitalizations. Approximately 30 reports of illness in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and Utah are currently being investigated to determine whether they are also linked to tomatoes. There are no reported deaths.

The specific type and source of tomatoes are under investigation. However, preliminary data suggest that raw red plum, red Roma, or round red tomatoes are the cause. At this time, consumers in New Mexico and Texas should limit their tomato consumption to tomatoes that have not been implicated in the outbreak. These include cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, and tomatoes grown at home.
