McDonald's says it has stopped serving
sliced tomatoes in its restaurants over concerns about Salmonella
food poisoning linked to uncooked tomatoes.
Spokeswoman Danya Proud said Monday the world's largest
hamburger chain has stopped serving sliced tomatoes on all of its
sandwiches in the United States as a precaution until the source of
the salmonella is known.
Proud says McDonald's will continue to serve grape tomatoes in
its salads because no problems have been linked to that variety.
The source of the tomatoes responsible for the illnesses in at
least 16 states has not been pinpointed. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention has said at least 23 people have been
hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.

On talk radio this afternoon Michael Savage was blaming this on NAFTA and tomatoes being brought in from Mexico.  He said they use human fecal matter to fertilize the produce.
