US: Search for source of salmonella in tomatoes in high gear - (Los Angeles Times)
June 10, 2008 – 5:14 pmAmid concerns over a widening salmonella outbreak, the nation’s restaurants, supermarkets and consumers faced a bleak tomato landscape Monday.
Patrick Gerrity, 33, was quoted as saying after shopping at a Vons grocery store near his Echo Park home, “I’m concerned, because I want to be able to trust my food sources. It’s strange that so much of our food seems to have problems now, since this didn’t use to happen in the past.”
In Irvine, the head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach, was cited as saying that finding the source of the tainted tomatoes “could be a matter of a few days or even longer than that.”
The FDA has ruled out tomatoes grown in a number of states, including California. But because tomatoes come from across the nation and Mexico, it can be difficult to determine their origin.
