WASHINGTON (AP) - The toll in the salmonella outbreak linked to
tomatoes has passed 1,000 confirmed ill, making it the worst food
outbreak in years. Now the government says some types of hot
peppers may be implicated, too.
Federal health officials say raw jalapeno peppers apparently
made some people sick, but do not explain all the illnesses. Raw
tomatoes are a chief suspect. Fresh serrano peppers as well as
fresh cilantro also are being investigated.
The confusing news comes as the toll reported Wednesday reached
1,017 confirmed illnesses. One death is confirmed - a man in his
80s in Texas.
