TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida agricultural leaders say the
federal government has cleared the state's tomatoes of being the
cause of a national food poisoning scare.
Amid a salmonella outbreak linked to raw tomatoes, many
fast-food chains and grocery stores have removed stopped selling
them altogether.
State Agriculture Department spokeswoman Liz Compton says a lot
of damage has been done already economically to growers, grocers
and restaurateurs, but re-emphasized that Florida's tomatoes are
safe.
The department is contacting grocers and restaurants to give
them the update.
The federal Food and Drug Administration has yet to put Florida
on its safe list for tomatoes. Compton says the agency doesn't
update the list until evening.
