first victim of the salmonella outbreak tied to raw tomatoes.
State Health Department officials say unidentified man got sick
after eating tomatoes during a visit to New York.
Health Department spokeswoman Judi Spann said Friday that this
is the only case in Florida, so far. Officials are barred from
providing any other information about the case, including the man's
condition.
Raw tomatoes have sickened 228 people in 23 states since
mid-April.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is searching for the
source of the salmonella, and says tainted tomatoes could have come
from Florida. But all Florida tomatoes in grocery stores and fast
food restaurants have been cleared as safe to eat.
