Salmonella Tomatoes Options

[Spectatrix]

Be careful about eating raw tomatoes for a bit: http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/19522929.html

So yeah, yesterday I went to the grocery store... gal in front of me had some kind of tomatoes, they showed up as "recalled" when the cashier punched them in. We were all confused. She decided to not get the tomatoes since she had some at home already. Well I get up there and I've got romas... also ring up as recalled. The cashier is doubly confused. Nobody knows why this is and figures someone fucked up the computers. She, with my ok, rings them up differently to get past the recall notice and I go on my merry way.

Flash forward to this morning... I walk into work and see a bulletin posted about salmonella contamination in raw tomatoes. Haha, whoopsie, all is explained!

Still not gonna stop me from eating them tonight...

Authorities say don't eat raw Roma or full-sized round tomatoes -- other than those sold attached to the vine or grown at home.

I usually like to buy those cherry tomatoes that are still on the vine. awesome stuff.
