a connection to a 16-state salmonella outbreak linked to tomatoes.
A Houston health department spokeswoman tells the Houston
Chronicle that while cancer is considered the cause of death,
salmonella was a contributing factor.
The outbreak is linked to three types of raw tomatoes, and the
list of supermarkets and restaurants yanking those varieties is
growing.
They include McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Burger King, Kroger, Outback
Steakhouse, Winn-Dixie and Taco Bell. The affected varieties are
red plum, red Roma or round red tomatoes unless they were grown in
certain states and countries.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that
since mid-April, 145 people infected with salmonella with the same
"genetic fingerprint" have been identified.
