MEXICO CITY - Export-quality tomatoes labeled "Ready to Eat" in English flooded Mexico City markets on Thursday after a salmonella scare in the U.S. trapped them south of the border. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers against three types of raw tomatoes that have sickened 228 people in 23 states since mid-April. It has not pinpointed the outbreak's source, but cleared imports from six countries — though not from Mexico, which supplies 80 percent of tomatoes imported into the U.S. Tomatoes from several counties in Florida are also under suspicion, the FDA said. Mexican growers and government officials called the warning unjust, noting it has brought exports to a halt and could cripple Mexico's $1 billion tomato industry. The U.S. has no proof that any contaminated tomatoes were from Mexico, they say. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200.....jb3.y3IxIF Current Mood:

Some people here have gotten sick, so now everywhere you go no one is serving tomatoes. The other day I was busy and we decided to order burgers, I looked down and they had a sign posted that because of the Salmonella outbreak they weren't serving tomatoes, haha I looked at the girl all serious and asked her if they were serious when she said 'yes' I said 'what, hell no cancel my order, what kind of a burger is that?!' She looked at me like are you serious?? I started laughing and I was like 'nah, I'm just kidding' my sister was like 'you winch!" That's some crazy stuff though, especially since they can't figure out where it originates from. Current Mood:

They aren't selling them here in Georgia. I keep telling myself every year that I am gonna grow my own tomatoes and other vegetables that are usually expensive.

Ja! The side of my house that gets the most sun was where I was planning to put a vegetable garden, but instead I planted daylilies and liriope. Oh well.
