More advice on tomatoes SANTA FE (KSFR) - -- New Mexico's Environment Department has put out a new reminder to avoid certain tomatoes, as the number of cases of salmonella poisoning has risen to 77 in 17 counties. They say tomatoes grown in New Mexico are on the "safe" list. More at the FDA's web site.

The FDA has stated that the contaminated tomatoes were grown in certain areas of Florida or Mexico, but the agency has not been able to pinpoint a more specific source yet. Tomatoes from Baja California Norte in Mexico and certain counties in Florida are on the FDA safe list, but tomatoes from other parts of Mexico and Florida have not been cleared and should not be consumed at this time. © Copyright 2009, KSFR
